IMATS January 2013

Finally after years of wanting to go to IMATS... my sweet husband prepare the trip for this! 

Entrance to make-up heaven...

We all got a "bracelet" and an IMATS bag.

Some cool special effect makeup... there are tons more... but I was too busy shopping. IMATS was packed. It was a sold out trade show! Almost every booth that I stopped by there were like 1 1/2 to 2 hours line. RIDICULOUS! 

Some more models with fancy outfit.

I stopped by sugarpill cosmetics... finally after so much hyped on youtube.. their eyeshadows and pigments are amazing.. I bought 6 pigments and 2 of their eyeshadow palettes... 

Some Sigma goodies.. I bought 3 brush sets for my sister, my co-worker and myself. 

Some of my Lime Crime haul.. 

I also bought some lashes and brushes! OMG they are so cheap! I kind of regret not buying more stuffs. I put my order at OCC but the line is so looong! that I did not end up picking the items up. I wish I stopped by Inglot, MAC, and MakeUpForever!! and Neimes booth (includes Bobbi Brown, Too Faced, etc --- they are all 40% off!!!!) but I thought I have so much makeup already and I have tried those makeups and they are readily available... the thought of standing in line for 2 hours on each booth... I rather spend a little more money and buy at department store or online.

I honestly do not know how I feel about IMATS - I dont know if I will ever come back. May be if I have accompany.. The entrance fee is $40 and you have to stand in line for 2 hours (by myself!)

Have you ever been to IMATS? if so or if you were at IMATS, what is a must visit booth for you?
