Two amazing cons are happening this weekend, and even though we won’t be there, we wanted to put together a list of panels and events for those of you lucky enough to attend.
Geek Girl Con

There are many different ways you can show your geek passion. Fashion and accessories are a large part of that, but the world of geeky cosmetics is growing very quickly! Whether you show off your love of Sherlock through your nail polish or use eyeshadow to express your Borderlands obsession, there are more options than ever before to fulfill your geeky cosmetics needs. We’ll explore the current state of geeky cosmetics and what the future may hold for the industry. The panelists will discuss what inspired them to get into the business, what the process is like for creating their products, how they’ve seen the business of geek cosmetics develop over the years, and more.
