When it comes to trends for your hair, nails and face, there’s one place where it all begins, Cosmoprof. Top brands, bloggers, retailers and distributors headed to Vegas last week to connect, explore and share the industry’s newest products and technologies, and the TGIFguide team was happy to be in the mix!
The Mandalay Bay Convention Center drew a huge crowd and show-goers were upbeat and ready to explore and make some deals, although music was the only thing lacking! At least there were plenty of cool props 🙂
I stopped by the essie booth to check out their new hues for fall/holiday and loved their new themed color stories like “Dive Bar” and “Cocktail Bling.”
My ultimate favorite discovery at Cosmoprof was ittsē, a new cosmetic line of which the founding philosophy is complete customization! With ittsē, you can create your own customized palette and choose from over 100 pressed shadows, brow and complexion products that compliment your individual personality.
If you’d rather not have complete control over your makeup choices and would prefer help from an expert, that’s no problem at all! Choose from ready-made palates like “The Sunset Over Pacific Collection” and “The Warm and Rosy Collection” and your natural glow will be enhanced in no time.
All ittsē products come to you in adorably decorated packaging featuring some of ittsē’s favorite looks, not to mention their products are are formulated with only the highest quality pigments and are always gluten-free, paraben-free, never tested on animals and made in the USA. Each refill comes in a reusable, clear, plastic clamshell to protect your product when it’s not house in an ittsē palette.
Their website is so cute and fun to use, there’s no reason why you won’t become easily obsessed if you start collecting today. I might just start customizing the TGIFguide collection now! 🙂
Another awesome discovery was the SPONGELLE. I’ve always wondered about when the appropriate time to throw away a loofa is, and now I know the answer! Not only does this innovative body wash infused buffer let you know how many days you should keep it for, it also saves you $$ on body wash and the pollution of plastic bottles. Each unique collection is infused with exotic extracts, rich moisturizers and gentle cleansers that leave your skin glowing and smelling divine.
I couldn’t wait to try my own “Bulgarian Rose” body lotion and SPONGELLE set when I got home! It was absolutely divine. Can’t wait to try all of the scents, I”ll be ordering a new one today! <3
These products make the best gifts for anyone on your list and for any occasion. Who doesn’t love a little luxury? For news and updates on new products and scents, be sure to check out SPONGELLE on Facebook 🙂
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the eye has to be drawn to the packaging! The glimmering gold of SUMITA caught my eye from afar, and once I got closer, I learned that what’s inside is just as awesome as what’s outside.
The LA based professional makeup company is devoted to creating products that are exclusively focused on enhancing your eyes and brows and, being a Dior Show fan for some time, I couldn’t help but instantly fall in love with their trio of colored mascara. Whether you’re looking to go classic black, fun purple or daring blue, this little mix is all you need! 
Other highlights included the Colorproof party where Jim, Cheryl and the whole ColorProof gang welcomed industry friends for cocktails, music and hair magic.
ColorProof’s Evolved Color Care is a complete line of professional luxury products designed exclusively for color-treated hair. Considering I love sunning and swimming, maintaining my red locks is of high importance to me, so it was great to discover some awesome new products and meet the people behind them. Thanks Colorproof!
These next generation formulas combine the latest innovations in ingredient technology with best-in-class ingredients to create a new standard in color care.
Some must-have hair accessories that caught my eye were these awesome Sleep In Rollers. They don’t damage hair and come in super cute colors and patterns, are super affordable and leave your hair soft, sensual and voluminous!
Their team was an absolute hoot!
Once the hair’s dried and curled, every lady needs the perfect accessory to put it up, and we leave it to Sarah Potempa for that. A girl has no limits when it comes to creating awesome updos, buns and more. Here’s a quick idea from their blog. DO try this at home! Â 
I hope you enjoyed the best of Cosmoprof North America, 2015! Can’t wait for next year already. See you soon beauty queens!
