  Hi Dolls,  I visited New York last week. I was there for seven hours, it was a short but very sweet trip. I went to attend a Beauty Brunch hosted by the Makeup Show. Along the way, my friend and I arranged to take a candle making class. I've been wanting to attend one for so long, I was glad to finally go. I also wanted to visit Times Square, I hadn't been in over ten years. So, we made a pit stop there before heading home. Check out the pictures and the captions for the details! ✨ Wick and Pour Candle Making Class My friend found out about  Wick and Pour  on Tiktok. We bought our tickets from their website, the tickets start at $50. Our tickets were around $68 after taxes and fees. The classes last for about an hour. There are two locations in NYC. The location we attended is 277 Bleecker Street New York, 10014.  You can pick two scents for your candle, I chose Mediterranean Fig + Solar Sands  After picking our scents, we measured and poured them into th...

  Hello, Dolls! I attended The Makeup Show in NYC over the weekend! I haven't been in years, since before the pandemic. As you can imagine, I was excited to attend! For those that don't know, The Makeup Show is a makeup convention held annually for makeup artists and the like. In addition to the educational seminars held for learning, you can also purchase makeup and essentials, at a pro discount.  The Details You can choose to attend one day or both days, I chose to attend on Saturday. The show was held for vaccinated attendees only. All brands and exhibitors were required to be vaccinated as well. Proof of vaccination (at least one shot) had to be shown upon entry. This happened to be my first event amongst a large crowd since Covid, so there was a measure of anxiety that I had, but it turned out well. I also chose to wear my mask the entire time, except to take the occasional pic.  At the show, there are several seminars and workshops (both free and for a fee) to furt...

Hello, Dolls I hope you all are doing good. I've been doing well, just MIA. What's been going on with me? Just dealing with life's twists and turns, and trying to stay sane :-). I got the chance to go to The Makeup Show  last month! I haven't been in 4 years; so, I was so excited to attend again! I couldn't wait to listen to the seminars, and buy some products that I had been holding off on getting. Pat McGrath station Cover Girl station I learned... Since I rode the bus up, it didn't allow a lot of time to take a lot of seminars. I managed to take two. First, I took How to Achieve Gleaming Skin by Melanie Mills . The second workshop that I took wa s The Insta-Bride: What a Girl Wants  by Megan Gramers. I'll share two new ideas that I learned. 1. I learned that a small amount of   Gleam Body Radiance  can be applied to foundation for glowing skin and a natural looking highlight. She also suggests using Gleam t...

Hey, Dolls! The Makeup Show NYC was a blast, as always. For those who may not know, The Makeup Show is an annual trade show held in select cities for makeup professionals and the like to learn of new products, partake in workshops to perfect their craft and to also shop for beauty and makeup products with discounts up to 40% off. This year, I went on one day, which was Monday. It was still crowded but not as it normally is on Sunday. We arrived around noon time, so that gave us till 5 to shop, meet and mingle.
