NYC Make Up Show - Sunday May 15

I know this is a bit late, but as they say, better late than never. Therefore, most of this post will be pictures, which I tried to put in the order of my time at the show.

I had a spectacular time. Once I finished registering I remember seeing the massive room with SO many exhibitors and my mouth dropping. I was completely and utterly in my element. As some of you know only those in the industry can attend. So you are probably wondering how did I get to go. I saw information about the Makeup Show on facebook. When I saw it, I knew I absolutely HAD to go. Once I realized it was for those in the industry only, I called and asked if they were hiring. To work behind the scenes of a beauty event, especially one of this size, would be a dream come true. Unfortunately they were not hiring, however they were looking for volunteers. As long as I got 25 business cards by promoting to salons, makeup stores, spas, etc. I got to go for free.

How cool is this?!? She was standing next to me at Crown Brush. This is from "Exotic Eye."

I LOVE these glosses. Armour Beauty makes all natural, long wearing glosses. I wish I got more than one.

I had such an awesome time at Lit Cosmetics! I'm definitely a glitter girl now!

Nurturing Force's Blott Out Offensive Cream is one of the best primers I have ever tried. Stay tuned for this review and blog post.

I have recently started using two of Dermalogica's products, Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, and the Gentle Cream Exfoliant. I am loving both. Once I get and start using the Overnight Clearing Gel, I will do a review.
