Hallo, everyone! You're seeing my face less and less on this lovely neck of the web, aren't you? I blame school. I blame sheer laziness after coming home from school and then work. I also blame this mental weather. When the sky looks sad, I become sad. BUT there's always a silver lining and that is that in less than two weeks time I'll be on my way to IMATS in NYC (and then Jamaica *self high-five*)! This'll be my third year going and it's so fun to see how this show is growing in my lovely city. This year super amazing brands like Make Up For Ever, Lime Crime, and even SugarPill Cosmetics are going to be there! It's starting to get so good that the want for LA IMATS is diminishing. Usually I go cuckoo bananas planning a wish list but this year it's on the "smaller" side, for me at least. It's a mix of things I need, like a nice contour blush, a pigmented white shadow, and some new brushes. A lipstick that I don't really need but it's a gorgeous color and c'mon? There's a super holographic unicorn on the casing! Then there's always the glitter and duo chrome shininess (can't seem to pull away from the glitter, gotsa have it!) and the most wacky thing - UV make up, which isn't so wacky because it does happen to be on my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days! I'd only be obliging my own wishes!
Make Up For Ever Glitters // NYX Powder Blush in Taupe // Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Geradium // Sugarpill Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Lumi // Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow in Tako // Sigma Beauty Brushes // Kryolan Aqua Color UV-Dayglow in Green, Blue, and Pink
So I'm really excited for the day of the event! I'm going with my mama, her best friend, and her daughter! I'm also gonna get to see my friend Andrea from FromInsideMyCloset and meet Coco from TheBeautyMilk, who's also going! It's all very exciting especially when I get the chance to hang out with fellow #bbloggers! I think this time around I'll be doing more ogling and watching than shopping. I know, I know, crazy right? I've been very good with my money as of late when it comes to spending it on makeup and randomness because I'm trying to save up for a gift for my mama and then, of course, my trip to Vegas ;) Anyhway, I've digressed! Are any of you going to IMATS NYC? What's at the top of your wish list? With so many exciting brands to see this year it's going to be hard to choose which line to get on first!
I went to IMATS NY the first two years, but haven't gone since because now I have The Makeup Show coming to Orlando every year. Although, I think I may try to go next year to IMATS! Depends on who the speakers are. :) And also- the MUFE glitters are amazing. I love them!
ReplyDeleteI really want to go to The Makeup Show. It'd be nice to go to a show that isn't over populated with the beauty gurus using it as a press junket of sorts, haha. You should def. go again. The list of speakers, demonstraters and brands are getting better and better!
DeleteI'm going to my first IMATS this year in London. I am soo excited but my bank account definitely isn't haha xx
ReplyDeleteAh, that's so exciting! You're going to have a blast. Your wallet will cry, but your make up collection will be giddy!
DeleteFirst year I'm missing it because it sold out when I went buy tickets. have a great time!

DeleteI wish I was going! I really want a lime crime lipstick! xx Rena Kiss and Make Up
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the range for myself! Sorry you aren't able to go ):
DeleteCongrats on being responsible with your money Jess!! I feel like I slightly have been too buuuuuut probably not as good as I should/could be haha. Anyways I hope you have an amazing time at IMATS (say 'hi' to Coco from me, that's so exciting!) as well as Jamaica?? Holy crap girl that's going to be a wonderful time :)
