TheMakeupGirl: Lianne & Josi...NYC
Well contrary to popular belief - Josi and I had never met before (I know how can that be??) So when I picked her up at the airport on Saturday in DC, we immediately clicked and it was like we had known each other forever. So off we went to pick up the rental car which was the ugliest thing I had ever seen PLUS it was white!!! BUT it got amazing gas mileage so go figure...LOL!!
At any rate...we hauled it to NYC (in 4 hours...LOL) and since Josi had never been before, I drove in using the Lincoln Tunnel so she could see the midtown skyline and she was SO freakin cute! She was so excited just to see it and be there (she rolled down the window so she could hear the "New York" sounds) it was really cool to see her reaction to something I have obviously taken for granted all these years. I guess nothing can compare to seeing New York city for the first time it was just cool to see. Anyway so we checked into the East Houston Hotel (the building is pictured on the left...LOVE THEM!!) and we got changed to go meet up with India for dinner and drinks at a cute spot near Union Square called Spice.
Sunday morning we got up early and had coffee on the roof of the hotel - then it was off to The Makeup Show which is SERIOUSLY a beauty addict's paradise. If you didn't make it this time - I highly recommend it. EVERYTHING THERE is heavily discounted and over 60 brands are represented that run the gamut from beauty giants like MAC and Smashbox to smaller boutique lines like Face Atelier. I got to sample some new stuff that won't hit stores until summer and had a blast with Josi!
So stay tuned for some beauty scoops over the next few weeks...
Stay Pretty!!
Excellent - wish we could've met up, I had a blast!
I posted a link to some Flickr pics on my blog but I'll post later about my observations.
Look forward to reading your thoughts!
