IMATS LA 2011 HAUL!

So...if I was rich this post would have a hundred pictutres. I could have spent thousands of dollars at IMATS..not only were there so many amazing products that I have never tried that appealed to me but the deals were really good. Check out my IMATS LA Haul friends!

Goodies!

My Very First INGLOT Palette! I am so stoked for this. I know it was worth the elbows to the side and the flock of other women I had to fight trying to get my colors picked out.

 As usual I went for purples and blue/greens...I need to expand but those colors just go with my skin tone..I immediately reach out for them..meh...one day I will learn. ha! The application of these shadows is amazing..I am picking out my next two palettes.

Lashes were 3 for 5$ yes please!

Sexy NYX lashes. Love!

Zebra Z Palette..Going to get more organized...I have a bunch of Urban Decay Pretties that are going to end up here.

I have heard nothing but amazing things about this Model in a Bottle Brow Sealer. I can't wait to try it.

I have seen this thing ALL OVER youtube...This is the matte 88 Palette. It was under 20 bucks so I decided to give it a try. I need to expand my Matte shadow collection and this is a perfect way to do so.

Brush Holder from Crown Brush

Picked up a few brushes too! why not right?

NYY Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean..NYX Gloss..I can't rememer the name but it smells like cherries and I am all about that. Also, picked up a pink glitter liner. I lover NYX lots of variety in their line at a reasonable price.

 OCC Loose Colour in Cavu Blue, Smote(top), and Flawed..I can not wait to try that blue one with the Wasabi one..which is my FAVORITE Neon Green! These are a collect them all item for me.

OCC Lip Tar in Iron Oxide a nice deep auburn red color.

OCC nail polish in Beta (super Neon Orange)..5 bucks! DEAL!

 Model in a Bottle Makeup Setting Spray. This one is for sensitive skin and was only 15$.

There is my haul! I didnt expect that I was going to get this many different things but I am excited to try them all. I will  put some swatches up for the shadows with a listof the numbers later on in the week. You are going to want to check out these babies! Thank you so much for reading. Have a Great weekend!

A Day at IMATS (Pic Heavy)

Hello Loves! So last weekend I was lucky enough to attend my first IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show). I had a BLAST! I went with my friend Mackenzie who was nice enough to let me crash at her place which was literally around the corner from the convention center that IMATS was held in. We didn't even have to cross the street to get there haha. I took TONS of pictures and got lots of amazing things so There will be a few IMATS related posts..I hope you don't mind!

The line was RIDICULOUS! We waited for about an hour to get our wristbands, I just wanted to get IN THERE!

I went with a Purple eye and just a flakey glitter gloss...its what I do best :)

Pig Man!!

Inglot was a hot ass mess!! I decided to wait until day 2 to try and deal with this crowd. They are lucky that their products get amazing reviews ha ha!

Lunch Break! Delicious food from the Yard House and Mackenzie's boobs. NOM on both accounts! 

The Sugarpill booth...that reminds me I still have to review some products I have that I got MONTHS ago..whoops haha!

AMAZING! I wish I was this talented. They people have my dream job.

I definitely had to hit up the OCC booth..I love their Lip Tars and their  Loose Powders. The cool thing was they had pads of paper with all of the products and you could just check what you wanted and the quantity  and then you gave it to one of the OCC folks and they would get your order ready. Very Organized! I loved it.

They were having a great deal I am surprised I didn't buy more.

I could have watched this  man get made up for hours. A lot of this experience reminded me of a really cool Halloween Party. Everyone was all made up and there was so much stuff to look at. I had an amazing time. Overall day one of IMATS was super fun! I saw a lot of great products and even picked up a few...just a few ;) I will be doing a Haul post tonight which should be up this weekend.  

 Thank you so much for reading loves! More IMATS posts to come and also a June Birtchbox Review.

IMATS LOS ANGELES!

IMATS Los Angeles June 24 & 25th 

I am so stoked that this year I will be attending my first IMATS in Pasadena! I know it is going to be a zoo and packed with people but I can't wait.  My tickets have already been purchased and I have some money saved up to pick up a few things. I actually haven't  purchased any makeup for a LONG time. Well, I did pick up a few lip glosses from Walmart but nothing HUGE! I am kind of having withdrawals, I haven't been to Sephora or Ulta in ages. No Online buying either. I am so proud of myself! 

 Anyways, I am excited about more than just buying makeup. I cant wait for the demos, and forums, there is going to be a Forum with the Makeup artists from True Blood gah!!

Makeup Museum?!  AWESOME!

Ahhhh! It's Frankenstein yo!

This is the description on the website of their makeup museum: 

"The Make-up Museum showcases famous works from film, television and advertising, created by make-up industry leaders. The museum also features rare photo collections, movie memorabilia and pieces from special make-up effects studios. Past contributors have included the Stan Winston Studio, Mike Hill, W.M.

 So COOL!!!
