Myrtle Beach Trip Makeup & Attractions

Hello Beautiful People!

My apologies for no blog posts lately. I've been on vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

It was lovely and I did not get a sunburn! 

But let's get to the good stuff: makeup.

Here's what I packed

I may have over packed on the makeup brushes.

(Left to right: Tru face brush; Sheer Cover concealer brush & contour brush; Sonia Kashuk Domed 

Multi-purpose brush; Real Techniques contour brush, pointed foundation brush, deatailer brush & buffing brush)

Can't forget the eyes

(Left to right: Tru dual eyeshadow brush; the name wore off; MAC 217; Sheer Cover angled eyeliner brush; Maybelline lip brush; Real Techniques base shadow brush, brow brush, pixel point eyeliner brush, deluxe crease brush & accent brush)

I obviously need to refine my packing skills.

I packed a modest amount of products in comparison to the brushes. 

Of course I needed (yes, needed) to shop for more makeup while I was there.

I was super happy to discover at two of the outlet malls the Cosmetic Company Outlets

which have high end brands for a fraction of the retail price.

Brands like Smashbox, Bobbi Brown, Clinique and of course MAC.

So I bought a few things

These little baby came in a cute purse inside the box. Travel versions of the best MAC brushes!

Finally found the right shade of foundation for my fair skin; NW 10! Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.

Of course I can't leave a store without buying something shimmery or glittery. So I got Vanilla pigment. Perfect for highlighting.

I will have more thorough reviews on these products in the weeks to come once I form an opinion of them.

Attractions

There is a ton of fun things to do in Myrtle Beach but my two MUST SEE are Legends in Concert and Pirates Voyage. 

Legends in Concert

Took this outside, Legends is a live tribute show of some of the world's most iconic artists.

Two of the biggest "legends" there are Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.

The other talented tributes included the Blues Brothers, Madonna and Barry White

This is a phenomenal show. These performers have the same mannerisms, facial expressions and voices as the stars they are paying tribute to. An absolute must see!

From a makeup point of view, the performers have an uncanny resemblance to their iconic counterparts.

You actually have to remind yourself as you sit in the audience that they aren't the actual people they portraying.  

I'm sure they have a natural resemblance to them but I would love to do a behind the scenes look at their makeup routines. Maybe next time I go? Maybe??? I guess we'll see ;)

Pirates Voyage 

Enter into a world of swashbucklers and mermaids. This dinner show exceeds all others. There is a gigantic pool with two spectacular pirate ships and extreme fun. 

You're taken through a story about Davy Jones' treasure and which pirates, Crimson or Sapphire (depending which side of the pool you are seated on for dinner), will collect the most jolly rogers by competing in different events.

Some audience participation takes place and the kids love it.

On top of that there are acrobats, live animals, swords fights and much more.

Dinner is tasty and very generous in portion size.

Plan to get there early for some fun preshow festivities.

Well that was my Vacation to Myrtle Beach. I want to go back already.

If you are going definitely check out these shows, they will not disappoint.

Big things coming soon; working on Youtube videos. 

Thanks for reading :)
