American Beauty Show Goodies

These are all the products I snagged at the show. Everything from skincare to haircare to makeup. I will be doing reviews on all of these goodies within the next two weeks.

American Beauty Show in Chicago: Night 2

The night after the American Beauty Show my college, La James International, held a kind of party for us at the Fountain Blue. It was a 1920s theme with great music an amazing meal & of course the best of friends. The building was gorgeous & perfect for a wedding reception. Its on my list for wedding locations. Here are a few pictures of that night.

American Beauty Show in Chicago: Day 2

Waking up at 5 am is not the greatest especially if you didn't go to bed till 3am. But still i dragged my hinny out of bed, put on my face & dressed in my college's Chicago trip shirt & some black yoga pants and my favorite Reebok easy tones. Yes comfort was my major concern for the show. I was going to spend hours on my feet walking around a convention so don't blame me. By the way the hotel's breakfast was delicious. There was bacon & eggs & sausage plus bagels and fresh fruit yummy. Made my mouth water al over again just thinking about it.

Anyways I figured I would post the millions of photos I took that day. The American Beauty Show was amazing. I had such a blast and met many people like Ted Gibson, hairstylist from What Not to Wear, Lydia Sarfati, owner of Repechage & Luis Alvarez, Co-Founder of Aquage.

Before we attended the convention we had a little seminar for all the beauty schools attending.

American Beauty Show in Chicago: Day 1

Last Sunday I left for Chicago by bus. It was about a four hour ride. Wow was I exhausted after that ride. I actually gamed the majority of the time since I just recently purchased Pokemon White. Which I am in love with. I cant put it down. It takes up at least 2 hours of my life a day lol. I have three gym badges now but I have been focusing on training & capturing Pokemon more lately. Apologies for the nerd moment.

Missing in Action....

I apologize about the lack of blogs in the past few weeks but it was for a good cause. I have so much to bring to this blog now. I just got back from the America Beauty Show (ABS) in Chicago last night & I am completely exhausted from that trip but I learned so much & walked away with quite a bit of product. Even some exclusive Stila product that isn't even out yet! SNAG! Sorry I am just so excited about this & the ABS really re-jumped my passion for the beauty industry. I have so many pictures & information to get to you guys so within this week I will be doing a set of blogs just about my trip to ABS, all the people I met & the product I rushed to get. So yet again apologies for the lack of updates but it was worth it trust me. By the way I will be trying *crosses fingers* to post every day. That depends on if college retakes over my life like it has lately. But if thats not possible bi-daily will happen. I don't want you readers to be distressed or left out of my life. I am doing everything in my power to give you all that you need & want to know as a consumer in the beauty industry.

love love, neon

PS. I have a few sneak peak photos from a shoot i did a few weeks ago. They will be up soon in my portfolio on the side bar along with a blog talking about my photoshoot experiences that day.
