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.

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.

Hey, Dolls So it has been a good while since I posted, this is actually my first post of the year (I'm a bit ashamed). Being busy has gotten the best of me, it has left me little energy for my hobbies; like blogging. Everyone is busy these days, so; I don't feel so bad. I am going to The Makeup Show this year! I will be going only one day this time, which is on Monday. I'm excited (as usual). Although, I haven't been blogging; I am up to date on the beauty world...I just haven't blogged about it lately. This time at The Makeup Show, I will be buying for my kit mostly. I have a few more things to add to it and will be complete. I hope to take a few workshops as well. When I get back, I will have a post of my haul and the happenings at the event. I always get inspired all over again for beauty, blogging and makeup at the show, this year, I'm sure will be no different. I have some reviews, an OOTD post and a couple of other posts I want to blog about when...

Hey, Glamour Dolls! I know I'm a little late but The Makeup Show was lots of fun, I had so much fun in NYC that weekend. I took a few workshops, met some great people and bought a few things. Here are the pics. I met... I finally met makeup mogul and entrepreneur, AJ Crimson! I've been loving his products for years now, especially his glosses. AJ featured his new BB cream and cream foundations at the show. He and his team were personally matching people up at the show...my friend, pictured; was able to get her face personally matched up by AJ, such a treat! He was so nice and sincere. I also met up with Shana from Shana Janelle On (Shana and I met last year, it's always good to see her, she's very down to earth). Shana was working at the Face Atelier booth for both days, it was nonstop busy. I know she was tired but she looked good though!  I've been following Alexandra Butler's work on every social networking site there is, I absolu...
