The Makeup Show NYC Haul & Review Of My Experience

Hi Beauties!

As promised, I wanted to post the few things that I picked up at the Makeup Show NYC. Since this was my first time participating in the Makeup Show, I was a little overwhelmed with the selections and the amount of people at the show. From what I understand, the show has grown trememndously since last year with a lot more people attending. Congrats to the Powder Group on continued success!!

The vendors at the show included almost everyone from the usual suspects (MAC, Make Up For Ever, Smashbox, Stila, Inglot, Temptu, Kett, Crown Brushes, Eve Pearl, Alcone Co) as well as newer up and coming brands (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and others).

I found that the prices of the products were fairly priced or discounted. I think that I'd like to prepare better for the next years show and hold on buying makeup for a few months prior to the show and then clean up. LOL

I did not have chance to attend any of the seminars by the Pro artists. Next year I will also allow time for that.

Without further a do... my haul.

Knockout Matte Polishes in Plaster and Pool.

Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concetrate moisturizer.

Kett Jett Airbrush Compressor and Airgun.

Kett Cosmetics Trial size Airbrush Foundations in the Olive group.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Airbrush Blush mini set.

Assorted brushes from Crown Brushes.

Here are some of the Fabulous Beauties I met at the Show!

Jennifer Lopez's Animal Print Dress

Here's our Jenny from the block in a Roberto Cavalli Leopard print dress. I think the dress is beautiful but it reminds me so much of the Famous Versace dress she wore years ago.

What do you think? Yes/No?
