IMATS NYC 2011, The Experience

I went to IMATS NYC yesterday and I had a great time. I met some familiar faces, got some goodies and best of all stuck to my budget!

I went to IMATS NYC yesterday and I had a great time. This was IMATS first time coming to NYC and we completely sold out the event. It was super packed but not unbearable, although I got there later than expected. I met some familiar faces, got some goodies and best of all stuck to my budget!

I met my Soror Camille there and we hung out the whole time and had lunch after. Camille had a ball, she definitely enjoyed her first IMATS experience!

"Queen of Blending and Mz More of The Glamorous Gleam"

YouTube Guru Lauren, QueenofBlendingMUA was in the building with OCC. She is so cool!

I ran into Ms Diva Lisa from Welcome2DivasWorld. Don’t forget to check my girl out!

Then we turned around and ran intoΒ  Ms Fancy Face Tina, who had a bag full of lashes lol

Now onto my goodies…

Inglot

5 pan round eyeshadow palette $19

(Swatches coming up next… these deserve their own post)

I picked up two gel liners in 77 matte black. I will be reviewing these soon. $8 each

The Sleek Lip Paints are very creamy, smell like vanilla frosting but not sticky at all. The gel lipsticks glide on well and are really shiny. Love the colors I chose! All $9 each

OCC

I fell in love with OCC Lip Tar in Beta, a bright neon orange. It tones down a bit as it dries. Lauren also loved Beta and said she would be wearing it at IMATS on Sunday πŸ˜‰ I bought Feathered to use to lighten and mix my tars collection. $10 each

Beauty So Clean

I picked up a bottle of Beauty So Clean Sanitizing Mist to sanitize products in my kit and personal collection, since I heard such great things about the brand. I also won a small mist at the presentation. My Soror Camille won a pro pack to split with someone else. I’m jealous! lol. I lucked out and got the last bottle of sanitizing mist $20

Cici Fashion Brushes

I picked these up for my gel liners as you can never have enough liner brushes… they were only a buck each!
