Premiere Orlando

 If you’re unfamiliar with Premiere Orlando, it’s like the largest beauty show in the US. It houses the best in hair, nails, dayspa and esthetics. So yeah, its kind of a big deal. There isn’t too much there for makeup artists, but that’s what The Makeup Show is for. Anyway I just wanted to show some of the stuff I bought while there! I got some makeup brushes from Morphe Brushes and also some lip wands. This brush line has definitely been generating some buzz on social media so I want to see what al the hype is about. The price point is awesome so what do you have to lose! I just HAD to restock on my Embroylisse lait crème moisturizer for my kit. While there they told me about the Hydra Mat cream which is a moisturizer/primer for oily skin. Can I just tell you that its AMAZE-BALLS!! I am going to do a separate post about it. Lastly I bought Sunny Isle bronzing cream by Pinnacle Cosmetics. It’s a private label cosmetic line based out of Toronto. Summer is here and its all about that golden goddess glow! So that’s it! If you attended premiere what did you buy?  

Premier Orlando 2012

If you aren't familiar with the Premier Orlando it is one of the largest expos for beauty professionals.  This includes, hair, skincare and nails with hundreds of vendors.  This is the best place to stock up on essentials for your kit as most of the products are at a discount.  There are also some educational workshops but some of the best in the industry that you are able to take. You really need to have a game plan when you attend because there is so much going on at one time!  This is my second time attending but I was only able to go to one day for a couple of hours.  Last year I almost lost my mind and bought a lot of unnecessary things for my makeup kit.  Things that are still perfectly packaged and untouched!  So this year I was only buying things I actually needed.I also got the opportunity to take a class by the amazing James Vincent titled "Kit and Makeup Brushes 101".  He basically just went over how to minimize your kit but maximize your results! He made me realize I really need to consolidate my kit.  His was so small but yet so effective! I really learned a lot! I wanted to take Danessa Myrick's class but I wasn't able to such I just peeped in really quick.  I also got to see Derek J from Real Houswives of Atlanta and Hair Battle Spectacular, Tabatha Coffey from Tabatha's Salon Takeover.While there I met up with Kim, Brittany, Courtney, Cristina and Safia! I only bought a couple brushes, disposable lip and mascara wands from Crown Brush and a Steel Palette from Nigels Beauty Emporium. I did good!  If you have never been to Premier is definitely worth checking out next year!
