Righteo so this weekend sees the return of the Professional Beauty Show. It keeps changing it's blinkin name. Wasn't it B.I.T.E. last year or is this a completely different production. Fecked if I know but the premise is the same. For anybody remotely interested in beauty, this show is like Christmas and Hugh Jackman all rolled into one....uh-maz-balls! I've worked at a few of these shows plugging various beauty wares but the past year I've gone as a customer and it's a totally different experience. For a start, the amount of freebies in the form of testers I got was unreal. Everything from Dermalogica and Acadamie skincare to mini bottles of spray tan formula. This show is for trade only or it's supposed to be but nobody checks so in theory, anybody can go. The usual heavy hitters will be in attendance i.e. Dermalogica, Crown Brushes, Flair, Novalash etc but for me it's a great place to see what's new in the beauty industry. This year, one of the newbies on the block is MYscara. I've blogged about this before and I'm actually getting it done tomorrow....squeeeeeaalll!!:-) It's basically a 4 week mascara application that lifts and curls your lashes and is completely waterproof. For a gym bunny like me, this is all kinds of deadly as I like to have a bit of make up on me while I sweat but even the best of waterproof mascara's comes off in the sauna. What I like about this product is that fact that there is no extension applied to your lashes. I have tried lash extensions in the past and while they look amazing for a while, they start to clump as the weeks go on and also, over time your own lashes get damaged if like me, you tend to pick at the lashes to get them off. I will take before and after pics of the MYscara tomorrow and blog about it.
I'm also really looking forward to seeing the Jessica nail stand and Creative Nails too. They always have the most amazing colours. There will be any amount of tanning stands there as always but this year I'm looking forward to visiting the Rockstar Tan stand to see what all the fuss is about. It's getting really good reviews so I'm gonna try it for myself before using it on my clients. Fusion make up is another stand I'll be making a bee-line for. An Irish mineral brand. Yes please!! Anyway, I'll blog about that too next week. Ta raaaaahhhh x
