The beginning of March signifies the end of winter, beginning of spring, and another year of the International Beauty Show in New York! This year I visited the show on two of the three days and discovered some amazing beauty finds, had my hair straightened with Magic Sleek, and added some royal blue Babe hair extensions to my now straight and sleek hair!

Highlights for me this year were of course all the hair care products, styling techniques and trends. Color is huge right now, and if you’re not sure about dyeing your hair some wild color, you can turn to extensions, whether clip-in or more permanently affixed, to add just a pop of color. I was impressed with the Babe tape-in hair extensions and have been wearing them for 3 weeks, so far!

Chi has a new line in collaboration with Kardashian Beauty, which includes products, a blowdryer and a flat iron. The products smell amazing and I was told the girls had a huge impact on the design of the collection, so if you admire their hair, you may want to give some of their products a try.

I’m a huge fan of Magic Sleek for hair straightening. It is non-chemical, smells great, and makes my hair luscious, shiny and beautiful for up to six months. I’m always happy when I’m invited to their booth to have my hair done. And this year, I got to meet twins Teresa and Nicole from The Real Housewives of New Jersey who are also huge fans of Magic Sleek. Stay tuned for more on my experience with Magic Sleek at the show!

I was intrigued by the Foreo Luna silicone skincare facial tool. It’s amazing and I’ve been using it since the day I bought it at the show. I purchased the Pro version, so I can use one side to scrub my skin free of make-up and clogged pores, then use the other side to enhance the anti-aging effects of my skin care.

The MyYou nail stamp system is another one of my top finds. It is so easy and allows you to create beautiful nail art at home using etched metal plates, nail polish, and a stamper. They have various kits that provide everything you need to have a nail art party with your friends and create designs for any occasion or season.

These are just a few of the wonderful products I will be reviewing more in-depth for you in the new few months. Stay tuned for more IBS New York highlights and new products!
