2012 New York Makeup Show Haul & Giveaway!

Hi Bellas,

Happy Monday!  It's the week of New York Makeup Show posts.  I'm starting today with a haul of all the makeup goodies I purchased at the NY Makeup Show.  Finally a makeup haul after my no-makeup buy!  I got a nice range of products and stuck to my budget :)

Check out the video!

Pics of the goodies!

Deal of the Show - Ofra Cosmetics Palette - Comes with a z-palette dupe, gorgeous eyeshadows manufactured by the same people who do the Urban Decay Naked palette, and a bronzer, shimmer and blush. All for $10!  I also tried out their primer which is supposed to be like a mini face lift, also only $10!

Mario Badescu is one of my fav skincare lines.  I'm a huge fan of the drying lotion and decided to try out a serum and eye cream too - huge parts of my skincare routine.

Kiss - Lashes and more lashes!  I really wanted to pick up some corner lashes for my besties and also picked up some pairs for my bridal kit.

Parian Spirit - My Favorite Brush Cleanser!

Artistry - I forgot to mention this in my video, but they gave me some goodies!

Graftobian - check out these awesome new products I tried out:  the brush sleeve.  I also got my hands on Enkore Makeup's new Spatula ring and cuff, Graftobian plans on selling them!

Benefit - Pick up some must-haves for my co-worker, They're Real Mascara and Erase Paste.

Alcone - Got my HG lash curler and some extra goodies from the owner Vincent!
 I also finally got some fabulous glitter and liquid sugar adhesive from Eye Kandy.

OCC Makeup - I picked one single Lip Tar in Bella Donna - a gorgeous purple.  On my lips it runs a bit blue, I think I'll ad some bright red to warm it up.
Check out this new adhesive hand palette from Glamcor.

I got more Model in the Bottle Brow Sealer since I ran through it.  One for me and my kit!  Great for setting brows and facial hair on men.

Giveaway time! 

Graftobian generously donated some packs of their new Glamour Grip Sponges.  They're amazing!

  35. Hey! Im really hoping and very eager to win this giveaway due to the fact I'm just beginning to learn how to apply makeup. And bought a huge makeup organizer.I'm getting older (age 22) and I feel it's time to learn different tips and tricks from your videos instead of the plain old stuff I used to do. So with that being said fingers crossed, hope I win!!!

I looked over and saw you and I was really excited to meet you. I watch your you tube videos and really appreciate the advice you give to makeup artists in the indusrty. Because of you I bought the Zuca kit and I absolutely love it! So with all the excitement of the show, meeting you and purchasing my new airbrush machiene I totally forgot to pick up the sponge!
