As you know by now, I love my beauty box subscriptions.  I recently just became aware of the VIP Mirenesse Box from Australia and thought I would give it a try.  From what I understand Mirenesse is one of Australia's top beauty brands.  It is a little more expensive to get it shipped to the USA, but as long as it's quality products and they are worth the cost, I don't mind.  Of course it takes a little longer to get, I think this is June's box and I've had it for a week or so.  You have 3 choices, all cosmetics, all skincare or a combination box.  I chose the all cosmetics. From Top to Bottom, L-R  Studio Magic BB Coverall Multicorrection Palette, 10th Anniversary Forever Diamonds Powder, Lip Balm Glossy Stain Lacquer and Auto Eye/Lip Liner Duet. The Mirenesse 10th Anniversary Forever Diamonds Powder - Retail $44.96 , this is a light-weight translucent finishing powder that also reduces your pores and leaves you with a flawless finish.  I haven't ...

Day 3 of Cosmoprof North America 2013 was a little shorter but still just as busy.  The first stop was at the Milani/Jordana booth.  I have more pictures of their new/latest releases and also some new reviews to do.  I love their huge displays. Milani Cosmetics Jordana Cosmetics Next stop was at Layla Cosmetics and received exciting news about their Gel Effect and Pro line. LCN is a brand that I will be keeping my eye on this year.  I heard from the owners of this German made polish lots of exciting news.  They gifted me with the LCN Limited Edition Mercedes Benz Nail Polish Collection and a new Magic Nail Growth mini to try. Stopping by the BH Cosmetics Booth was great.  I learned all about the latest products, which most are under $20. Next was Miss Jessie's Hair Care where Miko and Tito took me through the history of Miss Jessie's products and went through the new products and how to use them. Swoon is a new product.  It's Founder Keisha Wright expl...

Hi Everyone, Day 2 of Cosmoprof North America 2013 was a very busy one.  I will write individual posts on almost every brand I visited and reviewing for and my Interviews with Zoya, Dita Von Teese and other celebrities and brand owners.   It was amazing that I got to spend quality time twice with Zoya, she is a very sweet, intelligent and amazing woman.  I have 3 new Zoya collections to share with you and maybe a small giveaway to do too.   This was before my interview with Roni Josef, owner of Obliphica, John Blain, famous hair stylist and Dita Von Teese, famous Burlesque Dancer who also has her own line of cosmetics, perfumes, lingerie and so much more.  You can see the press was on them like crazy (and this was only a part of them), but I had my own interview with them.  I will also review the Obliphica Hair Care line and let you know the secret of what makes it work so well.

Hi Everyone! I am back from Cosmoprof North America 2013, and had a blast!  It was so big and I have so many things to tell you about that I'm splitting it up into the 3 days of coverage and individual reviews on many brands products and services.  This was my first CPNA.  Even though I had been told how big it was, you just can't even imagine and you have to see it for yourself!   Once inside, I was greeted with this beautiful huge tile hanging. Click the Read More button below! The first place I stopped was the new Beautique Display.  I love the reasoning behind this new feature at Cosmoprof.  More about this in a separate post. Then, I had an appointment with American Industries which includes many brands like China Glaze, Ardell Lashes, Seche, Gigi, It's So Easy and many more.  (Several separate posts will be done.)  I have so many new products I can go ahead and share with you and a few that I can't just yet, but you will love them all.
