Indie Beauty Expo 2019

Indie Beauty Expo

The annual Indie Beauty Expo kicked off in Los Angeles last January 23, 2019. This year’s event is definitely bigger and has more new and upcoming beauty and skincare brands.  It featured more than 180 brands.

The Indie Beauty Expo is not your typical beauty event. Most of the brands present are either independent, small scale or simply new in the vast ocean of cosmetics and skincare market. You will not find your mainstream brands here but it is definitely a way for you to discover new innovations in beauty as well as small scale business featuring unique concoctions that you will not find elsewhere.

What is new this year is the presence of Kbeauty brands. Some of the brands present were When Beauty, Haru Haru and Dewy Tree.  There was also a vast number of organically made products as well those that are proud to be small batch and handmade.

Now, to those who are seasoned in attending beauty events, the most common question is, “do they give out samples?” The answer is yes, BUT not all. Samples are scarce here since this is really a shopping event. However, since this is a more intimate kind of beauty event, you are free to talk to the participants and ask all the questions you have about their products.

If you want to experience most of the participating brands without shelling out too much dough, I suggest purchasing a VIP ticket which includes a HUGE bag of goodies containing products from the vendors.

The next wave of IBE will be in Berlin Germany on March 22-23. Tickets are already on sale. It will once again come back to USA on May 15-16 and it will be held in Dallas Texas.
