THE MAKEUP SHOW NYC 2011: Meeting Sam Fine!

DISCLAIMER:
I LOST MY MAKEUP SPONGE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN TRAVELING TO THE MAKEUP SHOW, SO THE LATER PICS ARE OF ME WITH NO MAKEUP TOUCH-UPS. I MAY LOOK LIKE AN OIL SPILL! :( lol


I had the pleasure of attending this makeup show this passed Sunday. My ONLY intention to go was to see my CHATLINE2 Divas and MR MAKEUP: SAM FINE! Walking into the building was overwhelming. There were so many people and so many vendors I didnt know where to start! But the first vendor I saw was MAC Pro! lol Go figure. I didnt purchase anything from there (discount wasnt more than the employee discount) but I did look at all the beautiful colors!!!

My first stop was the Embroylisee Booth Where I purchased the Lait Creme. And as soon as I did that, Motiqua's taps me on the shoulder.!!! lol I was glad to see a familiar face.

Me and Mo stopped for a photo op


On my way to the 2nd floor to meet my girl Kerline (another fabulous MUA out of my home town: Miami, FL). I saw Beauty Blogger and fellow artist SHERRY BLOSSOM. You can visit her at www.SherryBlossom.com. Tell her April sent you!

Sherry and I
I finally made it to the second floor where all the Pro Pods were and guess who I see???? Ms. Jennifer James serving up information and knowledge! #GrasptheMastery!!! If you don't know who she is! You better.!!! She is the bomb.com and the BROW QUEEN!!! It gets no better!!!! Visit her at www.JenJamesBeauty.com

In the meantime, in between time, here are some of the sights I saw before settling in to hear Sam Fine.

The EVE PEARL experience
Time was drawing nearer to Sam Fine and I wanted to get good seats so I went to the area where he would be speaking and got GREAT SEATS!!! There I saw my MUA CHAT GIRLIES: Dee Johnson, Nicole Rogers, Jen James, Kerline Pericles, and Jane B. (pics will come after Sam Fine)

SOOOOOOOO NOOOOWWWWW!!! Sam Fine walks in looking all handsome and thangs of that nature!!! lol I LOVE HIM AND WHAT HE DOES. HE took questions, he was gracious and humble, he gave us the real of the real! It was an awesome experience and the BONUS was I got to see him work! Me being the dunce that I am, forgot to bring my dvd and/or book for his signature!! BUT i did get a picture out the deal. If you don't know who Sam Fine is, then you aren't into makeup and are living under a rock and you just need to be ashamed! lol www.SamFineBeauty.com

Before I left for the day, I couldn't go without seeing Ms. Crystal Wright. Another person you've just got to know. www.CrystalWrightLive.com. She is the leading expert on how to get your career to the next level.




By this time, my feet are tired and IM STARVING! On the way out the door, I bump into Ms. Danessa Myricks of IMAKEYOUBEAUTIFUL! Her jump suit was giving me life. Such a sweet lady!
