I'm just lemming April 17!!! Thats when Janelle goes broke at the largest candy store for a Beauty Junkie ~ The IBS New York show! OMG I wish I could take you all with me... you'd DIE! Last year I got a bunch of hair stuff... really didn't concentrate on the makeup vendors... but, ya know what? NOT THIS YEAR!!
This year I'll be planting myself at the MAC booth for quite some time!
This is the best trade show I've seen in my life, and I've been going every year for 8 years now... You can buy individual products, or take advantage of the 'package deals' they offer ... where instead of paying $15 for a high end shampoo at a salon... you get that and about 5 of their other products (usually with a free gift, either a shirt, bag, pocketbook etc) for like $30. They have vendors that deal with hair, skin care, nails, cosmetics, tanning, body art and anything beauty related. You have to go early, because you are there ALL DAY to attempt to see everything! They offer hair cutting & coloring classes, and many top names have stages where they show demo's, haircuts, color, skin care demo's etc. (where you can be a demo model & get yourself done for FREE) Nice thing to get a haircut by the head stylists of paul mitchell or Matrix for Free, huh?
Wanna drool? Check out the site...
www.ibsnewyork.com and be sure to check out all the pics and definitely check out the exhibitor list.... absolute HEAVEN! Here are some pics I took last year of my haul... mainly becuase the people at work didn't believe I got all this stuff for like $100 bucks or so!
PS... Last year I went easy... this is nothing to what I got the years before! LOL I just learned that I can't use all the stuff up in a year! lol
