The International Congress of Esthetics And Spa

I had the honor to travel with The French Institute this past Sunday to Philadelphia for The International Congress of Esthetics And Spa Expo!

The International Congress of Esthetics And Spa works hard to provide us with a most valuable learning experience and connect us with greatest talents of our profession. This was a two day event filled with networking and educational value. The event wowed attendees with information packed sessions delivered by knowledgeable speakers as well as numerous hands-on manufacturers' workshops. There were also many busy exhibitors on the floor!

A few of the exhibitors were:
A Natural Difference - www.anaturaldifference.com
Aesthetics Unique - www.revivalabs.com/au
Aesthetics International Association - www.aiaprofessional.com
Bio Jouvance, Inc. - www.biojouvance.com

While no industry is truly "recession proof" we are fortunate to work in one of the most resilient fields. Consumer demand for our products and services remains high, particularly as technology and innovation continue to renew and improve their value and efficacy. I believe esthetics and makeup artistry are exciting, dynamic and personally enriching professions in which we have the opportunity to shape our clients experience.

For those of us just venturing out into the skin care and spa field, the expo is the place to seek out skilled veterans and gain ideas for advancing your business. Also learn about the latest technology the industry has to offer.

The vendor I spent the most money on was Pinnacle Cosmetics!!! Pinnacle specializes in amazing products, quality and unbelievable colour selection. All of their products are hypoallergenic. Meaning fragrance free, allergy tested and non-comedogenic. They introduce 4 colour stories a year... Spring, Summer, Fall & Holiday!!

I was most impressed with their crushed loose mineral shadows! The colors and richness are amazing!! Also the lipgloss wands were great!!

Pinnacle Cosmetics is also a professional private label, so check them out at your earliest convenience!!! WWW.PINNACLECOSMETICS.COM


All in all I had a wonderful time and it was a great experience!! I look forward to the next expo in Vegas! It promises to be bigger and better! Info coming soon!
