Miss Shoptastic: IMATS in Pictures

So, I had a great time at IMATS London. I enjoyed Eve Pearl's class/talk on make-up for women of colour (she was funny and informative) Meeting Nic from Youtube's Pixiwoo and also Koren Zander (Enkore Make-up) and Alex Box was amazing. I can't get over how nice everyone was! I bumped into a couple Twitter peeps as well.

I bought from Illamasqua, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and MAC Pro. I also picked up a pair of really nice false lashes from Fero. I went to the MAC store inside Westfield as well while out and about with a friend I visited while in London and bought a Coppering pro pan and a Fluidline in the shade Wave Line (stunning deep blue black with a hint of purple)

While I was away my nail polishes I'd ordered on the Friday morning arrived from Models Own.

IMATS buys:

Illamasqua - Virus powder eyeshadow, Furore pure pigment, Frenzy Intense lipgloss, Tantrum sheer lipgloss, Scandal lipstick.

MAC Pro - Violetta lipstick (amplified creme), Pro eyeshadows in the shades: Atlantic Blue, Vibrant Grape, Red Brick, Bright Sunshine, Pro powder blush in Burnt Pepper

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - Lip Tar in shades NSFW and Melange

As I said previously I had the pleasure of coming home to a little black box from Models Own which contained the 5 beautiful and colourful nail polishes I'd ordered before leaving for London. Model's Own were doing a generous 50% off deal on orders over £25.00 and so I ended up getting the five polishes for the price of 2 effectively with free shipping on top - brilliant!

The shades I bought from Models Own were - Orangeade, Slate Green, blue Gem, Purple Poppy and Lemon Sherbet. I am really feeling bright colours these days. I think I mentioned before than I think I'm rebelling against the grey winter here in the UK by doing a throw back to the 80s and wearing vibrant colours. Case in point the fact I dared to wear an orange lipstick recently.

To wrap up I just had the most amazing time at IMATS and would really love to go again next year, hopefully by then I'll be a professional and not just a girl who is passionate about beauty and fashion. How nice it must be to get paid to do something you love and to make a career of making things and people look and feel beautiful.

Now for the pictures!!!
