The Makeup Show NY Bloggers Preview & The Experience

Hey Mi Loves, 

Its been a while I know. I'm just all over place lately, and I mean that literally. I'm getting ready for a big move, then i went to New york, then California and back, my external hard drive fell and crashed, them my Macbook crash and finally my beloved iPhone was stolen (together with my sparkly swarovski elements case :( …

Anyhoo, I'm determined not to let anything get me down, so get ready for an avalanche of blog posts, starting of course with the Makeup Show NewYork

2 weekends ago was The Makeup Show New York. I missed last year's edition and swore I wouldn't  miss it this year and I'm so glad I didn't! It's without a doubt my favorite makeup show in the world and indeed one of my favorite events ever!

The Makeup Show NY Bloggers Preview

My makeup filled weekend of the 12th-14th of May started with 

The Makeup Show NY bloggers preview on Saturday the 12th. First James Vincent introduced us to a series of products to be launched/sold at the show, many of which we were given in our press bags (yay!). 

Then it was a cocktail/makeup party on the 5th floor themed Walk on the Wild Side featuring a curated photo work and live model makeup applications.

An awesome networking opportunity, I got to meet and chat with bloggers, vloggers and artists I've followed for years including Jennifer James, The Gorgeous Ingredient,Felicia Walker Benson of This that beauty, DrBrooklyn, Tyra's little sis, Sherry blossom, Yinka of Vex in the city, Diva of Diva odes makeup, ...(this list could go on for a while LOL)
