The beauty show held at the RDS hasn’t disappointed again this year. It was full of every kind and make of treatment, tan, nail and make-up gadget you can think of. I did almost choke (slight exaggeration) while passing the Infinity spray tan stand, one to note if you too are sensitive to cosmetics!! Available to have done at the show were lash extentions, teeth whitening, spray tans, skin care, body care, nail extentions, foot care, manicures and many more at excellent value or even free of charge!
Dermalogica were face mapping (skin analysis!) anyone interested in having it done (would highly recommend it). You will be given a perscription sheet with your face mapped as to your problem areas and what would be best suited to those areas listed. These girls are the best skin therapists you will ever get to look at your skin, and there’s no charge. Don’t be afraid of the head gear, it’s instead of a facial lamp normally used in a salon. Jessica (top nail care brand), were as always flooded with people looking to buy into their ‘manicurist to the stars’ vibe not to mention their great show price specials. A serious deal was to be had on their varnishes, every colour under the sun plus cute gift sets. See our previous post on nail trends for ’09 to know what to look for!!
All the big names were there, Sun FX, Fake Bake, Dermalogica, Jessica, St. Tropez, Decleor and many more alongside stands selling jewellery, make-up & brushes, candles, various cosmetics and applicators plus handbags starting at €5 upwards to about €40! For trades people you can avail of seminars tomorrow, advice from various exhibitors and get up to date with the latest technology or treat yourself to a new uniform!
They didn’t seem to be too strict on who got in, you just have to fill out a form at the entrance so if you are in the area tomorrow it could be worth a try! If you work in the industry or are studying beauty/health you should definitely try to get in tomorrow before it finishes at 5pm. Wear comfortable shoes and raid the piggy bank
