International Beauty Expo

Beauty is big business all over the world. It is amazing that 2 big shows were held in Malaysia one right after the other. First stop was the International Beauty Expo at the KL Convention Center and a day after it closed, Cosmobeaute Asia opened at the Putra World Trade Center. Both shows were big shows with unbelievable crowds. Proof positive that beauty can also mean money.

The IBE was the classier of the two shows in terms of size, booths,

venue and activities. Cosmobeaute was more of a selling event.

Of course, make up supplies and how it is applied were the biggest

attractions - not surprisingly, many women flocked to get freebies

L - Plenty of free foot spas, facials, manicures, pedicures, etc.

R - A nail art competition was on going -- yes these are fingernails

And the biggest crowd drawer? The hair / make up / fashion show

with models doing the runway and photo shoots.
