Products
NARS
NARS will introduce Eye Paint, which can be used as an eyeshadow and eyeliner. It will be available in 10 shades. I’ve been crushing on this for a while, now. Gotta get my hands on it!
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics
I’m soooo in love with Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars and the brand will be showcasing their six new fall color collection at The Makeup Show Orlando!
I became a fan of Makeup For Ever when I was introduced to the brand while interning at Essence magazine back in 2009, and I’ve been a fan since! Last year, I didn’t have time to stop by their booth, but this year I’m making it my duty. (BTW they’ll be at Booth #B15.)
For the first time, they’ve partnered with the show’s educators to create a series of limited edition kits featuring each artist’s 10 Makeup For Ever must-haves including their favorite new Artisan Brush and a 10 Eye Shadow Palette filled with their top shade picks. Both the kits and palette will be available for purchase at 50% off of the retail price.
The Makeup Show Academy Booth (#B12) will be highlighting the new Artisan Brush range and Flash Color extensions. The brushes are five years in the making! They are 100-percent fiber and are available in a range of 76 handcrafted styles. Anyone who purchases 10 or more Artisan Brushes will receive a 50% discount.
This is just a glimpse of what to expect at this event! The Makeup Show Orlando will also feature over 75 beauty brands, 6 keynote speakers, 20 seminars, and 8 hands-on workshops.
Will any of you be attending The Makeup Show Orlando 2013? What are you looking forward to?
Ciao Bellas,
