IMATS LA 2011 Recap

This was my first year at IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) and it was an experience to say the least. I learned a lot and got to buy a lot of stuff! I will record an IMATS vlog and link it here once it's edited. Just wanted to show you guys some of the crazier things I saw that had me in awe.

Random art being done before my eyes....

This was a picture from IMATS past

I also got to meet Kandee Johnson and she even recorded a shout-out for me. She was just as sweet in person as she seems on her YouTube channel! Here's my video recap of actual IMATS footage

I didnt get to meet a bunch of my subscribers/followers but I hope we get a chance to meet next year!

Hautelook Urban Decay Sale

If you don't know what Hautelook is you don't know what you're missing!!! It's a discount, members only, site that offers different sales on everything from shoes to resorts. You can sign up here if you do not already have an account! Recently I shopped their Urban Decay sale and although I didn't buy a lot the deals were insane!!!!!! I got two eyeshadows (in jones and electric) and I got an Ink for Eyes cream eyeliner in Pyrotechnics. I paid $5 for each of these items! Yeah, I said it... $5.00!!!!! I saved $20.95 on my Hautelook purchase versus if I bought it in stores! They always have awesome sales like these, trust me, you WANT to sign up for this site.

The blue eyeshadow is Electric and it is a matte shadow with an AWESOME pigmentation! This is such a deep yet still bright shade! I brought this with me to LA and can't wait to play with it!!!! Jones is what I thought would be an orange color but it ended up being more of a goldish peach tone and a little less pigmented than electric! The eyeliner is not my favorite, I cannot lie. You have to put quite a bit on before you notice the glitter, but I'm sure if it was a colored eyeliner it would be perfect. The cream consistency does make it much easier to work with and a lot more forgiving.

Overall this is a great deal and Hautelook is an awesome site and if you get a chance to check it out you won't be disappointed!

Favorite Lip Combo Now!!

I am loving this combination on my lips! It was in my May Favorites and may just make it to my June as well!!

It's MAKE UP FOR EVER's Rouge Artist Intense #22 and Ulta's Mineral Lipgloss in Pink Topaz. The MUFE lipstick is such a light tan color that it doesn't compliment my skin tone at all, but with the pinkish Ulta gloss it's the perfect nude lipe for me!

The lipstick was about $22, but I didn't want to return it once I realized I didn't like it. So I found a way to make it WERRRRRRRK!!!! Haha

What is your favorite lipstick/ combo?! I love suggestions!!!!

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale

Thats a lot of stuff in that picture, huh? Well before you start thinking I'm a shopaholic remember that everything I bought was on sale!!!! I spent $34.75 after tax and a$10 off $40 coupon that came to my email since I'm a part of their mailing list. I...... WON!!!!!!! Lol

They have 50% off of their candles and $2-3 wallflower bulbs. There are last chance sales on their aromatherapy line of body care and random other scents. I enjoy B&BW more for their home scents, but with deals like that it's hard to turn any of it down!!

If you haven't had a chance to stop by Bath & Body Works' Sale get there ASAP!!!! I bought all this stuff for my new townhouse. I'm so excited to be moving and have more space!!! Now my space will smell extremely yummy! :-) Let me know what you got!

Happy shopping

Bringing my makeup room together....

I've been so excited about moving into a townhouse to have a spare bedroom for my makeup room/ office. I started off by getting a rolling organizer cart that I saw in a youtuber's makeup tour video. I don't know why, but I instantly fell in love with it. I had been searching the internet and everywhere I looked it was $60+. NO SIR! Not for a PLASTIC CART! lol. Turns out a YouTuber sent me a link to it on Sam's Club's website and it was only $30!!!

Lots of pieces, not too difficult assembly. But I LOVE it! Can't wait to decorate my room!!! :-)
