IMATS-New York City 2012



Hi all, I'm back from the Big Apple, NYC, and I had a fabulous time at IMATS. IMATS is a huge trade and industry show that was created by Make up Artist Magazine. It is in six different locations throughout the year. Sydney, Vancouver, LA, NYC, Toronto, and London. It is open to trade and non trade guests and it's an incredible way to get to learn, purchase and experience make up in a way you may never have before. I was lucky to attend this past weekend because my family and I happened to be traveling to New York for spring break. I could have stayed all day but I was with my husband and son and they were less than excited to be spending the afternoon at a make up trade show. But they were great sports and I managed to accompany them to their chosen activities later that day. All was fair. As they say, if mom isn't happy no one is.

Check out some of these amazing fantasy make up looks!
check out these booths and products....
oops you can see my reflection in the photo... These are super cool Liquid metal pigments that create amazing glam eye looks. They can be used with or without an airbrush. I picked up the silver, 1st one to the left and the purple, the third one. They can be blended with each other  and or other shadows.
NYX was rocking the joint with a huge, no... gigantic... display that was by far the biggest selection of make up a girl could want. You name it they had it. They also had a minimum 30 minute wait line to pay. But it was so worth it as their products were at wholesale prices. I got shadows, lip gloss, bronzer, and pigments here.

My selections... I could have gone crazier but I plan on attending IMATS in LA in June so I contained myself due to suitcase space this time around. Next time I'm driving so Uhaul here I come. :)  I selected some amazing pigments from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, I will review those soon. Some NYX shadows and bronzer, Kett metallics and NYX lip glosses. I also picked up a few MUD brushes. (Make up Design), they were 40% off! Now that's a steal.  Well, now that I am back I will be sure to keep up to date with news, reviews and more. Until we meet again.
