Happy Saturday everyone!! 

  I just wanted to do a quick post to let you guys know that I am over on the Nail It! magazine website with a guest post. I went with a texture theme, since I am slightly obsessed with this trend. I also did a look with some of the shades from the Cult Nails In the Garden Collection, for the ladies who do not like textures at all. I hope you guys like these looks! I had a lot of fun working on these. 

To find out the details behind these Three looks, just head on over to nailitmag.com. You can also read a short interview [HERE].

 I've had a minor setback here (I am also waiting on a middle nail break to grow out)... Ever have something happen to you that makes you feel really old for some reason? So, yesterday.. I was having a coughing fit... and I threw my lower back out  -___-. I mean, REALLY? Who does that? lolol... Who throws their back out from a coughing fit? Anywho, I'm taking it easy and hoping for a speedy recovery because I have lots I want to get done. I am also dying to play with my new Pueen stamping plates!! I have not had a chance to get into those yet, the designs are SO adorable!!

I hope you guys will check out my post for nailitmag.com! Happy Saturday everyone!

Scenes from The Makeup Show Orlando- #TMSOrlando

Happy Friday loves!! 

  This post will be more photos than anything. I've previously posted about The Makeup Show Orlando [Here] and [Here] but Mr. LTHP took A TON of photos and I wanna share (most) them. 

  This will be more of a "picture diary" of #TMSOrlando. There was A LOT happening. The show hosted over 2,000 beauty industry professionals and over 60 brands. There would have been more brands but hurricane Sandy threw a wrench in that. The show was still a great success though!

Many more photos after the jump!

 Ofra Cosmetics Booth.

 Stila Booth.

 The Crown Brush booth was slammed ALL day long. The line was crazy!

Beauty and The Blog Panel at The Makeup Show Orlando/ #TMSOrlando

Good afternoon!

 This is a quick post to share some photos of the panel I got to be a part of when The Makeup Show came to Orlando at the beginning of November. The panel was hosted by the living legend that is James Vincent. being asked to be a part of this panel was a true highlight in my blogging days. I can't believe the amount of amazing connections I got to make at this show.

 

 The panel was made up of Koren of EnKore Makeup, Elessa Jade of Pursebuzz, Brittany of Clumps of Mascara, Courtney of Phyrra.net and myself. The panel was hosted/ moderated by James Vincent. To be a part of this group of talented and successful people in the industry was nothing short of an honor. 

To see more photos just continue reading!

 This panel really focused on the current role of bloggers in the beauty industry. We spoke about how much of an impact consumer blogging has had on the beauty industry, and how we really have to be accountable for what we post and say as member of "new media".  

  We answered several questions that were send in by readers as well as questions from audience members.

James Vincent, our moderator.

  He is a big supporter of bloggers and really understands the emerging role of the beauty blogger in this industry.

Elessa and Koren were Two of the first people to ever do the whole "makeup vlogging" thing on youtube. True trailblazers! 

 Talking about stuff and things!

 After the panel we all gathered to take photos with the fans and answer questions.

 And this photo cracks me up. My facial expression pretty much covers how I feel about Embryolisse Lait-Creme (which I am holding in this photo). The stuff is miraculous, but more on that later!

 This was a really great experience and I learned SO much. I came back very inspired to start a You Tube video series about Blogging and what I've learned. I get a lot of emails every week from readers who are looking to start a blog or have started a blog and need advice as to where to take it from "there". I will not be giving specific instructions but more so speaking from experience and what I have learned. As with many things Time is key. There is no replacement for time and hard work but I hope to help with my upcoming vid series! 

 I have a few more #TMSOrlando posts coming your way. I got TONS of pictures from this show thanks to my AMAZINg husband @MR_L_T_H_P!

Mr.LTHP's Behind the Scenes Look at #TMSOrlando

Hello and good evening my lovelies! 

  So as many of you know yesterday and today (Nov 4th and 5th) was the debut of The Makeup Show in Orlando. The Makeup Show has been traveling for the past Seven years but this was their first stop in Orlando. Needless to say I was excited about this incredible opportunity. The Makeup Show put on a preview for the bloggers that were attending the show and it was hosted by non other than James Vincent, who is an industry legend. 

  Mr. LTHP was my assistant for the weekend. He was taking my photos while I did the social media, networking and the blogger panel. The blogger preview took place this past Saturday while the vendors were setting up. Many of our Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida were there, among them Miss Maria of Cult Nails. Cult Nails had a big weekend with them having their first booth at a beauty show! So John, Maria's husband was setting up the booth for Cult Nails and Maria snuck Mr. LTHP to the vendor floor to hang out with John and take pictures while we got our preview from James Vincent. This is Mr.LTHP's behind the scenes look at the setup and behind the scenes of #TMSOrlando.

 This is a pretty pic heavy post so to see all the pics just keep on reading!

 Lash heaven at the Inglot Booth. And of course... The ones I wanted were sold out :(:(:(. I had my eye on the pretty winged out Purple lashes right above the neon Green ones on the second column from the left.

Make Up for Ever booth setting up. This booth was massive!

 One of the many Special FX makeup booths at The Makeup Show

Mr.LTHP was ALL about the Zuca Pro Makeup Traveling bags. James Vincent also spoke highly of these. I'm personally crushing hard on the Pink and Zebra Print bag myself.

 The Makeup Show did a wonderful job of having seminars and speakers through out the whole day. I had the honor of being part of a blogger and b/vlogger panel that was hosted by James Vincent. We spoke about how blogging has really meshed with the beauty industry and become it's own entity.

 They also had many celebrity makeup artists doing seminars and hands on education.

Smashbox was there as well as Crown Brush.

 The Pinnacle cosmetics booth was ready to go!

 The girls at the check in. This show was very well organized and put together. Everything was SO smooth and easy to find.

 The Temptu Airbrush systems booth.

 The Senna and Embryolisse booths were also prepared and ready to go.

 The Alcone booth. I could have spent all day here! Z- palettes and beauty blenders galore!

 The Amerikan Body Art booth! They had SO many neat things! And SO MUCH GLITTER!

 The Stila booth was really pretty!

 The Ofra Cosmetics booth. Another Florida brand!

The venue was huge! The Makeup Show was at The Peabody Hotel this year. It was a beautiful venue!

 That will do it for this first post about #TMSOrlando. The husband did a fantastic job helping me this weekend and being my support system. He got TONS of great pictures for you guys didn't he?! I'm so proud of him♥. Tomorrow I will show you pictures of the booths in action and all the artistry that was happening right before our eyes! 

  I love going to these shows because I always come back very inspired and on an extreme beauty high. I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I will be back tomorrow with more action from The Makeup Show Orlando 2012!
