IMATS 2014 LA Part2

So this is everything I got at IMATS  LA 2014


I have purchased a few makeup geek shadows as well as hot pot shadows from coastal scents so I needed a back up empty palette.

I got both of these at the same booth they had a deal 12 for $20 I got these as well as a ton of lashes, and lash glue.
LA girl concealer



LA girl gel liner
I love both of these products this is the best concealer I have ever purchased it dose not move into fine lines. I have purchased high end concealers that move all around, but these stay put, at just $2.50 each. The eyeliner is also it is gel liner that's in a pencil and not a pot. It works so well and its nice to not have to reach for a brush to apply gel liner.



I purchased a NYX matte lipstick, I really like there matte lipsticks the price is good and I like the product as well.

For some reason the makeup forever booth was mostly pro only so all the things I planned to buy were behind a curtain so I only ended up buying foundation and an eyeliner. Kinda sad. 

Sugarpill




I got this sugarpill pro palette it is three of there other palettes all put together I have had the opportunity to use this palette and it is wonderful. These colors are very pigmented and bendable. 

Lime crime







At the lime crime booth I purchased the lime crime velvetines in red velvet and suedeberry, the are a unique product that goes on like a lip gloss but dry to a matte lip stain. I love the finish of these but I get a lot of dryness from long term wear. But the finish of these is so nice I just extra moisturize when I plan to wear them.   I also purchased the eye shadow primer that is good but not the best ever.

La Splash

 The eye shadow primer from la splash is a repurchase I love this primer it is kinda sticky and great for pigments and glitters. I was trying the lip crayon for the first time and the mascara. I really love the mascara now and plan to repurchase it. The lip crayon is good as well, nice color and very moisturizing. 

Cailyn




I saw this brand last year at the IMATS but i did not purchase anything, This year I got the eyeliner and the eyebrow gel. I really like both, they kinda seem dry but once applied they don't move. Which is great for eyebrows.

Parian Spirit

I love this stuff it is an repurchase for me I first bought it at my first IMATS trip. It is wonderful for cleaning brushes. My only complaint is for large blush and powder brushes it takes a lot of product, and maybe that cup could be larger. But I still make it work.

Inglot

Inglot is one of my favorite brands, I'm not going to lie I have a lot of favorite brands. But this one is so good and so well priced. I repurchased a foundation, purchased a few glitter rainbow shadows and a gel liner. this was my first time with the gel liner, I like it and if it's set with powder it stays. 

Crown brush

Crown brush sells good brushes they are well priced and I like the fact that you could get the ones you needed not just purchase a full set. 

Tons of random lashes

I got these at different booths and most of them were no more than a dollar, so I stocked up.

This company had good product and prices, but they don't have a store to purchase there products outside of IMATS. Kinda disappointing but I doubt I'll finish the foundation its a bit light. 

BAGS!!!

I love the bags they come with purchases and there great for carrying things around.


I bought a hoodie  that I love and its super warm and comfortable


Free Gifts



There were a few gifts given away at random booths. I loved the tweezers, and small purse set of brushes. I have not used the kryolan foundation samples yet. 
Sorry for the delay in the post 
Hope you enjoyed

Just one more thing

Hi so excuse this post I am going to post all the pictures I have taken but haven't posted before I get to my IMATS post /haul. There are some makeup photos as well as beauty boxes.

New beauty test tube
New beauty test tube
Small beauty to go bag









I don't know how often I have updated regarding my beauty boxes, I do know that this is likely the last test tube I will order. I have received far too many shampoo and conditioner samples. The Moroccan body butter I have received before, and the only remotely interesting thing in this box is the mally eyeliner in navy blue. (That is not the name of the color but that is the shade) The candle is a nice touch but I don't order a beauty box for candles. Just so you know this is my second candle as well.


Ipsy bag
On the other hand I live my ipsy bag. Makeup, lashes, nail polish, and a gorgeous makeup bag every month. My only complaint is that the bags are not uniform. So leading up to delivery of my bag I will see blog post and you tube videos raving about the awesome products they received. Only to get my bag and find none of those things. The bag on the other hand is uniform as is the theme of each bag. I like this bag and at $10. a month I will keep ordering this one.



 These are all random pictures That I have no idea when they were taken.




 Super late black friday haul

So on black Friday I went to ulta and got a few things nothing outstanding except these chocolate collection products from NYX The skinny eyeliner is great for eyebrows, and the brown powder is good too if you have dark brows. 

Cyber monday

Cyber Monday sale
Free gift



Two lipsticks
So I liked the chocolate collection powder and liner so I ordered back ups on Cyber Monday, as well as two lipsticks. I love NYX lipsticks. 
Next up IMATS 
Hope you enjoyed

Hauling again


Haullliiinnnggg!!!
 So what can I say I was shopping my behind off. I treated myself, I treated myself to some things I have watched but had not had the nerve to splurge on. So I will walk you through my purchases now.





So I have been wanting these illamasqua palettes but they are not cheap. $46. each So I decide I deserved a treat and that included the paranormal palette and the neutral palette. I have used the paranormal palette, the eye shadow is very soft. It feels like a cream eye shadow, but it is really actually a powder. I like it but I need to try the neutral palette and play with the other one more. 


I also bought this pantone palette from sephora it is really good quality. I used the taupe color this palette is very pigmented the colors are smooth. This palette is a steal at $38. This palette is fun and I like working with it.

 Below is the back of the package with the name of each color.

The last thing on my sephora haul was this awesome metallic lip tar in black daliah. I love the lip tars, my only concern is that they don't travel well. I have had one bust in my bag. Yet I love black daliah and I am excited to try this metallic version.










I purchased these physicians formula eye shadows at ross. They are nice and smooth. I tried to use the green shade but it was not very pigmented. The purple shades are better. I have not tried the blue shades yet but I hope to soon.



On the left is a fit me powder, from target. $6 I believe. The powder on the right is a bare minerals powder for $30 something dollars. I have used the fit me powder before until it was all gone I love it, product and value. This will be my first time trying the bare minerals powder.


I got this fit me foundation from target, the last time I purchased the liquid it was in the shade 350. I hope that they reformulated the shades, as I did not see 350. 

I also purchased this mascara at target, Great lash is awesome need I say anything more? Also this brush really helps to. 















I have purchased parian spirit at the Imats the last two years. But this year the imats was moved to January so I haven't been back yet to purchase my regular supply. So I ordered this huge jug online. Awesome. I'm also trying this brush cleaner from Ben Nye. I will post my feelings about it later.

Hope you enjoyed my post
Thanks for sticking with me during my hiatus
