Liquid Lipstick thread

[DMcG9]

the biggest were probably MAC and MUFE, NARS was there (but i dont think there was a discount). The rest were smaller places If I remember correctly

I didn't go last year because I saw the vendor list and thought what's the point in paying for the ticket when I can visit those counters ANY time in the city?

Only positive if you go to IMATS solely to buy things and not to network, observe the artistry, or sit in on the Keynote speeches is the discounts that most vendors will provide. But if the brands you would want to visit don't offer discounts then you'd likely feel like it's a waste if you opt not to engage in everything else going on.

Good to know! Thanks. I'm not a makeup artist so I don't really care for the networking aspect but I also realize that is the draw of IMATS for those in the industry.
The show in Toronto always seems to be a lesser event than it should be. Not sure what those who go to Vancouver think?

Yeah I just go for the sales, I took my sister for her first one last year and we scored some good deals on brushes and MUFE but overall it wasnt a big deal. Im hoping the vendor list this year improves

Does anyone of pictures of PZC Dahlia & Vamp? I kind of want to get Sea Witch but I want to order more than one thing and Ive eyed those other 2 since they came out. Im really on the fence about whether I should get Sea Witch or the KVD one thats coming out. On the plus side I can return the KVD one if it looks bad (and i dont know how blue will look on me) but I think I prefer the PZC formula. I find sometimes KVD ones don't look completely opaque on me and look kinda streaky and the more you pile on the worse it gets (that being said I do still like them..), as for PZC I only have 2 liquid lipsticks from them and they are 2 of my favs that I own. I really want Pansy and Riot, the LC velvetines are my fav liquid lipstick formula I just dont feel good buying from them

I bought Vamp and Dahlia and they're beautiful!

Do the sales justify the ticket cost? That would be my main thing. Toronto ladies, do you all use IG? We should get acquainted if we want to do a meet up eventually! :cheer:

I was trying to choose just one but I think the right answer is to get both Are you getting Sea Witch?

Hmm I don't know, I usually buy during the presale, I think it's like $40 or something. MUFE has stuff at about 40% I believe. You can get their HD foundation for a great deal, I think it's 5 for $125. MAC offers 20% off. A lot of brushes are about half price I think, I purchased most for about $7 a piece (from bdelium and Royal and langnickel) Beauty Blender has some good deals usually too. Over all it's not bad but I think they savings/worth depends on how much you get And I have IG and I am down for a meetup with some makeup lovers like myself! Anyone can follow me & I'll follow back (even if you aren't from Toronto! My handle is _thefbomb

In general if you intend to spend a decent amount then yes. If MUFE does their usual 40% discount for example and you don't have a pro discount to use in their boutiques...and you plan on buying a couple of items then you could easily save far more than what you paid for a ticket. But if you're only wanting to buy one thing from a vendor that only offers 10% then it may not be worth it. You can weigh the benefit by figuring out a "wants" list and finding out what those vendors usually discount. Gives you an idea of what your savings could be and helps you determine if that ticket price makes your trip worthwhile.

If you're interested in getting any MUFE shadows, they're 50% off at IMATS.

I am. I'm just gonna wait for a bit tho to see if they come out with another colour soon. I don't wanna pay the shipping for just one lipstick.

Yeah, I feel you on that one. Hmm I may wait till the end of the week, if they do bring out something else it would be nice

Yay! It wasn't worth it to me as a package as I would never use Sand.

I was wanting to get sea witch also but I wanted to get the lighter blue and purple as well, but they are never back in stock. It's annoying that they add new colors but don't restock the old ones. :-/

Yeah I wanted those 2 for a long time as well, seems hopeless though

My how the liquid lipstick craze and my stash have grown since I joined this thread. I think I'm going to update my list...

Just received two of the Coloured Raine liquid lipsticks yesterday after FINALLY catching them while they were in stock. I have to say, I'm impressed. I still think the Stila and Sephora formulas are my favorites because they feel really nice going on and the staying power on them are excellent. Cant wait to get my hands on the Stila summer collection.

Just so you know at IMATS NY this year MUFE was only offering the 40% to their Backstage card holders (pro card holders). For every one else, it was 20% off. I think in IMATS LA in January everyone got 40% but I can't be sure. So if you're going solely for them and for 40%, be prepared to find out that it'll only be 20%. That said, all their Artist shadows were half price.
