I'm Off to The Makeup Show New York

Decorating inspiration can come from so many different areas. Makeup is definitely one of them. That's why I'll be attending The Makeup Show New York this weekend to get inspiration on color trends and so much more. The show is filled with tons of exhibitors (think Jouer, NARS and Stila) offering products at discounted rates. I'm so excited. Get your tickets now. You'll love it.
