My haul from the show!



As promised, here is my haul from the recent show. I will do another post in detail on the brushes I bought from Crown Brush. I like how I can test these products to see if I like them. Hopefully these products can be distributed to the general public (more salons, etc.) where individuals can buy them.

I bought:
- A bunch of brushes from Crown Brush: small pink kabuki brush, concealer brush, angled blush brush, stippling brush (because I love em), some eyeshadow brushes, a big fluff blending brush, a nail stylus (to create dots on your nails with nailpolish), etc.
- Ojon Nurturing Hair Kit for $25
- Brush Apron for $15
- Face Chart Pad from MUD (Makeup Designory) for $9.50
- 12 5-gram jars with black lids $1.75 for a pack of 6
- 78 piece eyeshadow and blush palette (exact same one as the one on CoastalScents), $17-$20 at the show as various booths had different prices.
- 2 polk a dot cases with a shoulder strap and mirror, both of them were ONLY $20 together! One I will be using for my makeup, the other for my skincare/face stuff (I will be doing my skincare regimen post soon).
- 2 blushes "Zen" and "Captive" from Lady Burd Cosmetics for $4 each (someone asked if I can explain them a little more, and all I know is that they sell the indelible eyeliners and eyeshadows, as well as other mineral makeup, they are a private label company meaning you can put your company name on their makeup to sell if you wanted to).
- Nail gems to decorate my nails
- A brush roll from Modern Basic for $5, and some eyeshadows that were $2.50 each (looked like MAC wannabes but very pigmented!), and 2 blushes for $3 each.
- 5 NYX lip pencils (I forgot the colors so I will swatch them in an upcoming post)



The BF threatening to throw everything! LOL.

  3. Nessa, did you end up liking the Anastacia re-grow eyebrow gel? Was it better than the drugstore variety that you showed us(ardell, maybe?)

  9. I am jealous of your Ojon stash. I think it is the greatest hair product since...I don't know when. I am addicted to this product. I have never used something that has transformed my hair so rapidly and decisively. I used it a couple of days before I relaxed my hair and there was no breakage! Love it, love it, love it!!!!

  10. I am jealous of your Ojon stash. I love this product. It is the best product since...well, since ever! I have never used anything that has transformed my hair so beautifully. I used it a couple of days before I relaxed my hair and it left my hair soft and moisturized. After I relaxed my hair I experienced no breakage for the first time! Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!

  28. Hey there! Love the blog! Modern Basics is a private label company also. You have to set up an account in order to do purchase from them. If you have any questions let me know. I have an account with them.

    I was wondering if you would post something on them. They are at all of the trade shows. LOVE MBB!
