I Braved The Crowds At Salon Melbourne 2013

Salon Melbourne 2013

I always get a warm tingly feeling when I see the word “media” to my name 😛

On Sunday, I braved the footy crowds in the city to venture upon more crowds at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre for Salon Melbourne. I think the word crowds was an underestimation. Think thousands of (mostly) women trying to get their hands on cosmetics bargains. Oh yeah.

Salon Melbourne is an expo much like IMATS but with the main focus on beauty salon equipment (unfortunately, unlike the IMATS, this is a trade event, which means it isn’t open to the public to attend). We’re talking about tanning equipment, saunas, therapy beds, waxing material and so on. This year, the beauty section (e.g. makeup, nails) was expanded to more booths selling makeup and tools at discounted prices. Last year’s expo was pretty dull (at least, it was for me) with so much emphasis on salon equipment. It was definitely more interesting this time as there was a lot more makeup to check out.

I took a lot of photos at the expo and I thought I’d share them with you.

Quickie Mention: Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balms in Pink and Peach Sheer Tints

I thought I’d add a short segment to the blog called Quickie Mentions. Often I stumble upon goodies that are worth more than a 140-character tweet mention but not long enough for full essay-type reviews I usually do (e.g. bodywash. There’s only so much I can say about bodywashes that I love). I’m going to try it out today; please let me know if it works/doesn’t work! 🙂

Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balms in Pink and Peach Sheer Tints

Ahh I remember the original Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balms. These were Tina and LeGeeque‘s favourite lip balms, and for some reason, these were almost always never available at Priceline stores. I didn’t know about them until Tina mentioned how difficult it was looking for them. When I finally stumbled upon some at my local Chemist Warehouse, I ended up buying all of their remaining stock. So that was 2 for Tina, 2 for LeGeeque and one for me to try. 😛

Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balms in Pink and Peach Sheer Tints

That was a year ago. Gee how time flies, eh? Carmex has since then released 2 more lip balms, and this time, they’re tinted ones.
