I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

General Haul #39 Generation Beauty NYC (sept 17 & 18, 2016)

During my birthday weekend, I spent it at Generation Beauty!
The Early Bird tickets were about $106 including tax and I just wanted to spend my birthday with makeup and skincare this year.
I got a total of 3 hours of sleep per day in between work and going to generation beauty on both days.

Day 1 stuff from standing in lines to get products. I think the lines were more effective on Saturdays or maybe I planned out my day well. I went on the lesser known and avoid the lines when there were hosting YouTube meet-up times.

Day 1 goodie Bag (Saturday Bag).
So it seems that I am missing a few things from my goodie bags. I remember hearing some people complaining about that after they got their bags.
Day 2 goodie bag (Sunday bag) wasn't as great as Saturday in my opinion. But I was missing things from both goodies bags.
Day 2 standing in lines to get some products. Day 2 were awful, it seem like there were more people during Sunday.
I didn't get a chance to go to 6 booths because the lines were always closed everytime I passed by to get in line. Those lines included MakeUp Forever, pur-lisse and Jouer to name a few. Would I go again, no. I think every girl should experience it once a lifetime to enjoy and say that they went to Generation Beauty! My favorite booth was H2O+Beauty for giving up a full size sleeping mask and BareMinerals who give a full sized powder compact foundation and brush. Both of those brands color match and give you products according to your skin. It Cosmetics beauty rep was so nice in teaching me how to brow, contour and bronze-she took the time to explain and it made Generation Beauty worth it. If you just go for standing in lines and getting the products then this event isn't for you.

Many of these items are sold in Ulta only and in NYC, we don't have an Ulta yet so it was nice to be exposed to some of these products.
