Professional Beauty 2012 - Manchester 14/15 October

Anyone going to this?

It really isn't in the spirit of my no buy. But the Birmingham one was so immense I don't know how I can resist.

If I go, this time I am going to take a wally trolley though.

I love going to shows like this, but according to route finder Manchester is 4 ish hours away from me!!! Lol

I'm thinking about going to the clothes show at the NEC in December. A local company runs coach trips up for £60 inc a ticket. I went a couple of years ago and they had some cool make up stands however this was before my varnish addiction really took hold so I didn't really buy anything polish related.....

We may need to shun you for that admission

I want to go, but I am on a no buy

Are you going to this now then Lady S?

I would volunteer to go with you (purely to keep you on the straight and narrow of course! ) but I'm afraid it's too far away for me.

Do these places just show case beauty products?
Can you get freebies of decent qualities?
Are the products cheaper than if you walk into shops to buy?
New ranges, or combination of the old/new?

Always wondered about these, they're always so far, so never been to one to satisfy my curiosity!

I have only been to one in Birmingham.

It was much cheaper than the high street, but there weren't many freebies.

OPI £5.90
Color Club 4 for £10
China Glaze 12 for £55

Mixture of old and new, nothing before release date though

Is this only once a year? I go to B'ham every couple of months, have never been to anything like this
