IMATS 2012

Hey everyone! I am a few months late but here are the fun pictures that I took at IMATS 2012 LA. Better late than never right? This is the second year that I attended the International Makeup Artist Trade Show. I was so blown away last year on how amazing the experience was and I knew that I would definitely start attending every year! This year I got there really early but the line was already wrapped around the whole convention center. When we got in it was not crowded at all. My sister and I hit up all of our favorite booths. We did some MAJOR damage this year but I don't have any regrets. I was in heaven. I loved seeing all of the different brands and meeting a variety of new people. The artistry was insane! I was among some of Hollywood's makeup elite. Ve Neill was having a class that I am still kicking myself from missing out on.

Afterwards, we attended another amazing event by Beautylish. It took place in a beautiful restaurant in Pasadena. I love talking to the entire Beautylish team and mingling with awesome Beauty Gurus! It was so much fun!!!

If you have not attended IMATS I highly recommend that you check it out. You get to mingle with fellow beauty lovers, explore the variety of brands, and take advantage of awesome discounts! We already have our hotel booked for IMATS 2013 which by the way has been moved to January instead of June. I can't wait to see you all there!

Lime Crime had a beautiful booth! I got a lot of gorgeous lipsticks and the new Aquataenia Palette.

I went a tad bit crazy at the Ardell booth. One of each please!

Face of The Day - Blue Peep Love

Oh Blue Peep, how I have neglected you! I use to wear this fluidline all of the time. I was definitely inspired by my earrings to whip out this amazing color. I wanted the fluidline to stand out so I kept everything else quite neutral. I got a lot of sweet comments about this look at work and can not wait to wear it again!

Face of The Day - Greens & Yellow

Here is my face of the day. I had some time before work to actually attempt to add some color and I was inspired by my yummy lemonade. I love how vivid the colors came out and it lasted all day. I will always recommend Urban Decays Primer Potion. Major lovage.

NYX Cosmetics Eyelashes

So I joined the site HauteLook a while back which is a website that has different sales from different brands throughout the week. I was so excited when they had a sale on NYX Cosmetics. Their eyelashes are usually around $4.50 each and I was able to get a pack of 6 pairs for around $11.00! The sad part was that when I tried to get this awesome red lips set it was already sold out. Ugh. They finally came in the mail the other day and I love them already. So far I only tried one pair but I have gotten a lot of good compliments already. Yay! I don't use the glue that it comes with though. I am so used to using the Duo Eyelash Glue so far that has been working fine for me. I will try to post pics soon of me wearing the different pairs to compare them all.
