My First IMATS experience



                                         On June 23rd I went to IMATS in Pasadena, CA. 

OMG IT WAS THE MOST LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!!! 

For anyone who is into Makeup, or an aspiring makeup artist....YOU MUST GO TO IMATS at least once in your life! I got to meet award winning makeup artists, YouTube gurus I follow and FaceOff contestants. Here are some pictures of people I met and products I bought! Enjoy!

                                                    Walking into IMATS 6/23/12...ZOMG!

                                    With Glenn Hetrick from FaceOff...he was super nice :D

A super cool Peacock masterpiece...

Some lovely artwork I had done by a lady at one of the booths.



 Man o Man...I spent about 4 hours walking to every single booth, taking everything in. It was very overwhelming at first. There was soooooo many people there, and I didn't know where to go first, so I just walked around and then decided where I wanted to "shop" from. I spent WAY too much money, BUT everything was discounted, SO I didn't feel so bad about buying so much!

                                           Here are a couple pics of the stuff I got at IMATS!



From Sugarpill Cosmetics I got Goldilux Chromalust Pigment, Burning Heart, Sweethear and Heartbreaker Palettes, and 2 pairs of eyelashes...but they dont have names :( 

From NYX Cosmetics I got Dramatic Chromatic Eyeshadow pigment in Antique, Eye/Lip Pencils in Latte, Taupe and Pale Pink, and Mega Shine lip gloss in La-La (not pictured)

From Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pure Pigment in black and Lip Tar in Memento
