Good Morning Kinks!
I told you guys that I had a busy weekend, I'm going to The Makeup Show's 10th year anniversary tomorrow & I couldn't be more excited. What I didn't tell you Kinks was that I was lucky enough to be invited to The Makeup Show & Inglot's Social Media Breakfast. If your following me on social media you would have seen some of the pictures from the event.
This is my first year attending The Makeup Show & I have had butterflies in my stomach! I tell you Kinks all the time I am a hot mess. To be in a room with professional Makeup Artist & other people in the industry after only almost a year of blogging, well its something to get excited about.
In case you haven't heard of The Makeup Show, it is the largest pro-only makeup event in the United States. Normally it lasts two days but for the 10th anniversary, the show will last a week. The Makeup show is filled with educational opportunities, glamorous parties, the chance to meet some of the biggest names in the industry and of course shopping until you drop.

My reasons for starting a blog are simple. I had something I enjoyed and I wanted an outlet to share it with the world. I never thought writing Kinky Curly Me would inspire me as much as it has. Today I write KCM with the hope of going to a cosmetology school in the future. I eventually want to get my Makeup Artist license. Since my passion for the beauty world was ignited, I longed for the opportunity to meet people like James Vincent and to be invited to events like the Social Media Breakfast.
I have shopped at Inglot before but I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the Inglot Chelsea Market location. They have large glass windows to let beautiful natural light into the studio. There are products displayed across the studio with more than enough room to swatch, beautifully lit working stations when you walk in, and plenty of space and equipment to work with the products.
As for the event itself, I'll say it again, it was very overwhelming the amount of people who attended & how friendly everyone was.
My experience at the Inglot location in Times Square left a lot to be desired but at the Chelsea location I never felt more at home. The staff was willing to answer my questions and help me find exactly what I was looking for. If you've never shopped at Inglot their products do not have names, only numbers to identify the product. But this wasn't an issue for me because the staff was so attentive and they have such a comprehensive knowledge of Inglot products.
During this event we were lucky enough to get a preview of Inglot's newest products that will be premiered at The Makeup Show. New matte lipsticks in hues that range from beautiful neutral colors to stunning reds. As a self proclaimed lipstick addict, whats better than new lippies? I swatched them on my hand below. The peach and nude colors are my favorites.

Along with these lipsticks Inglot will be releasing some beautiful pastel hued nail polishes that are supposed to be breathable. I'm a woman who always has her nails done so the idea sounds pretty cool to me. Also to be premiered for the show is Inglot's Long for Lash Mascara. I have yet to find my holy grail mascara, here's to hoping it will work for me.
Inglot has over 600 locations you can shop at throughout the world, if you don't want to go to the store you can always shop online

The Makeup Show & Inglot's Social Media Breakfast was a great experience for me. I enjoyed getting to meet new Makeup Artist's. Even local artists from my old neighborhood and I even met an artist from the other side of the world (Africa). I started off feeling nervous and out of place but by the end of the day I felt confident and in a place made for a Kink like me. I am so thankful to have received the invitation to this event & I'm looking forward to Sunday. I can't wait to go shopping, take the classes I signed up for and meet more beauties in the industry.
