THE MAKEUP SHOW CHICAGO WRAPS-UP IT’S FIRST SUCCESSFUL SHOW IN THE MIDWEST
With 3,000 attendees, an unparalleled lineup of seminars, and more than 60 beauty brands, the show proved to bring Chicago the LARGEST and most inspiring pro-only beauty event.
Hey Divas heyyyyyyy!
The Makeup Show Chicago was last weekend and I HAD A BLAST! I was surrounded by makeup, makeup lovers, makeup artists, and makeup brands; needless to say I was in a beauty coma by the end of it. I can’t wait until next year! This experience was amazing to say the least.
I got to meet up with some of my mentors, Twitter followers and readers. I’m especially glad I got to catch up with Starr from Eye Adore Pretty, who called me an enabler for 2 days even though I clearly tried to save her $9!
One of my favorite parts of the show is my interview with THEE Sam Fine! I have never in life met such a humble, sweet and caring man. He is totally my best friend in my head now. <3
I have a TON of posts to write, pictures to edit (over 500) and swatches to take.
Check out a few photos and a sneak peek of my haul! I’ll be back with individual brand reviews so keep checking back! XOXO
