  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 spent last weekend in NYC! The primary reason for going was to attend the Makeup Show. I had planned to go up on the bus and come back home that night, but my sister preferred the more relaxed option of staying over. That week leading up to the trip was so draining, so I couldn't thank her more for choosing to stay over. We stayed for a day and a half. For some reason, I feel that you need at least two to three days to feel relaxed and refreshed when getting away. This trip proved me so wrong. I felt so refreshed, it felt like we were there longer.  Accommodations We stayed at Springhill Suites Manhattan/Times Square . I chose that option because it was a discounted rate for makeup show attendees of $169 per night, which is a great deal for a hotel in NYC. Our stay was very pleasant; the hotel was located close to everything that we needed. The staff were very courteous and accommodating. We arrived early on our arrival day. We planned to leave our bags at ...

  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...
