This year I was invited to attend the The International Salon & Spa Expo (ISSE) Midwest Show at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

The ISSE show included everything relating to hair, nails, makeup, skin care, and wellness. I had a great time going from booth to booth meeting the vendors and learning about their products.  It was so much fun getting to try out the newest products and trends in the beauty industry, I was like a kid in a candy store!!

Check out some of the pictures from the event below…

Check out my manicure I got using CND, Nubar and Lumos products

While at the show I discovered this new top coat/bottom coat by Lumos! I loved the high gloss topcoat, review coming up on the blog soon!!

Look at how shiny my nails are! They almost don't look real!!!

I was so elated that OPI was there! I lost my mind at this booth, I was finally able to snap up the shatter polishes that have been sold out for months!! OPI gets me everytime!!

OPI how I love you...

Nubar was in the building…

I love bright colors so you know I can't wait to review these babies! Thanks Nubar for the gift!!

How cute are these ladies?? I want to dye my hair ;(

I love the orange and green colors!

I would wear my hair green too...lol

Amika makes some of the cutest curling irons I've ever seen and they really work!!

I had so much fun I can’t wait to go back next year!!!

If you are in the beauty industry in any form I definitely suggest you attend the 2012 (April 15-16) show, it promises to be bigger and better!
