Inside the facility, numerous six foot long tables decorated with table cloths in various prime colors held useful products and services from makeup to whimsical artwork. Among them was the "Makeup Eraser" a ground-breaking item gaining popularity used to remove cosmetics with a damp cloth--no chemicals needed. Kelly Schermerhorm demonstrated the ease at which the make up comes right off using circular strokes lightly on black eye makeup she applied to the back of her hand.
Color Street representative Amanda Baugher was giving out samples of peel and stick designs for nails with no nail polish needed. A product like this might motivate someone to say goodbye to those weekly nail appointments. You might also want to look into joining the company for extra cash.
