Excited for The Makeup Show Chicago 2013!

What's up?  I'm posting this at damn near 2am because I can't sleep!  Why? Well, while it's true that I'm a lifelong night owl, tonight's wide awake status is due to my excitement for The Makeup Show Chicago.  I've attended since it first blew through Chicago a couple of years ago and am thrilled by how rapidly it has grown here.  The "new to Chicago" exhibitors like Eve Pearl, Hakuhodo, Ellis Faas and Zuca have me hyped because I finally get to see up close what the girls in NYC (i.e. YouTube's beauty divas like DRBrooklyn, girlcanpaint, thefancyfaced, Niya0302, etc.), showcase in their TMS hauls.  This year, I will be attending two workshops and soaking up knowledge from every seminar and keynote I can squeeze into the next two days.

My cameras are charging, my brushes are cleaned and ready, my hair is air-drying as I type and I have mapped out which Starbucks will give me my caffeine fix in a few hours.  I have my shopping list drafted and my walk-through planned, thanks to viewing the haul videos from YouTube and using the new The Makeup Show app on my phone.  I'll be posting about my experience at this year's show before the end of the week so stay tuned!  Ok, it's 2:41am and I really should get in the bed and grab some shut-eye.  Later!
