#192: Camellia Cosmetics

In honor of Michiana Fashion Week, we're highlighting Camellia Cosmetics today, a locally owned business with area locations, one in Eddy Street Commons and at Heritage Square in Granger.  To celebrate, they have hosted events at their stores as well as offering special discounts on their goods and services.  Tomorrow, they will honor any of the week's specials, so ladies of South Bend, before your hot dates for the evening, swing by the store beforehand to receive tips on how to get a celebrity look or lessons on how to do a smokey eye.  Call 574-387-4929 (Eddy St.) or 574-243-1730 (Heritage Square) to set a time for your free 20-minute consultation. 

For me, an offering is worth its weight in gold : no matter how clearly fashion magazines spells it out, I usually end up looking like someone from a musical who celebrated a successful dress rehearsal a bit too hard at Tapped Out II.  Professional instruction is needed to deviate from standard make-up.  While I have not received any of their salon services, my experience interacting with their staff has always been positive.  Once, while waiting for a friend at Eddy Street, I walked in to kill time browsing and walked out with a handful of samples to address my dry skin issues.  The salespeople here are friendly and knowledgeable -- they really understand the high quality merchandise.  The products would be found in Hollywood or the Hills, but their sales style is all Hoosier.  And I'm sure

It's hard to walk away without learning about a new skincare product or trying out some new make-up. And since this week (while supplies last) you receive a free Camellia lip gloss with any $30 purchase, take that a reason to walk away with more than samples.  

And fans of OPI Shatter (aka the nail polish right now/best topcoat ever): they have the newest summer brights in stock.
