One of the only reasons I went to IMATS was to buy stuff. Yepp. I said it.

I am sometimes fed up with the ridiculous shipping costs us Aussie make-up lovers have to endure. Not to mention waiting for orders to ship, dealing with tracking numbers that don't work and missing out on a lot of overly-priced make up that would usually cost pennies in the USA.

Thankfully IMATS was showcasing some well known and loved brands with a discount! So, myself along with many others, were more than happy to spend our precious dinero on fabulous make up.

So here it is. My IMATS haul.

Picture time:

First up, I picked up some awesome stuff from Lime Crime, an all vegan cruelty free make up brand that prides itself on its high quality, and highly pigmented products.

My favourite is the Velvetine I bought in 'Red Velvet'. It is stunning.

Next up, a purple lipstick. Yes, purple but very wearable. Its name is Airborne Unicorn & I love it.

And finally the most beautiful eyeshadow palette you would ever lay your eyes upon. 

Palette D'Antoinette. 

Then I headed off to Inglot. Oh Inglot, how I love thee. I settled for a freedom palette with 4 eyeshadows (329, 30, 107 & 111R)

AMC Multicolour System Matte blush (91).

And Multicolour Bronzing Powder (79).

And finally, Gideon treated me to brand new brushes! They're so pretty and soft and PINK! So cute.

They're the Pink Bambu Complete 14pc. Brush Set from bdellium tools. These brushes are made from 100% Vegan soft synthetic bristles with sustainable bamboo handles. They're 100% cruelty free & hypoallergenic which is awesome!

The haul!

So yeah, that's it!

Did you go to IMATS? What did you buy?

Bye.

★★IMATS Sydney 2013 || Best Day Ever! ★★

SooOooOoo if you love Make-Up as much as I do, you would've known about IMATS (International Make up Artist Trade Show) and how amazing and magical it is. When I found out it was in Sydney this year I pretty much fell off of my chair and yelled HURRAH to the heavens above.

Anyways, It was on Saturday & Gideon (my super handsome and amazing) husband came along with me! He was one of the few men in the convention centre whose sole purpose was to hold the bags. All the bags.

There were so many stalls and soooo many amazing products to purchase. Unfortunately, Gideon and I couldn't stay long because I had a baby shower to attend, but that time we spent was really fun! For me at least.

Photos:

 Firstly, I bought some amazing products from Lime Crime. Totally amazing.

The lines were SO long. We spent most of our time waiting.

Next, Inglot. Soooooo good.

Gideon then bought me some brushes from bdellium tools 

but I'll show those off tomorrow.

Thanks to Gideon for waiting in lines, 

taking photos,

buying me new brushes,

letting me swatch products on you,

and taking me to an awesome IMATS! 

Love you!

I'll blog about my IMATS haul tomorrow. I bought SOOOO much stuff. Oh yeah.

Bye.
