IMATS Sydney

[sweetbabyblue]

Thanks! I'll definately be doing back orders for the lip tars, as long as they have samples there for me to look at first

My bf is very cute..I think he does panic a little everytime I pull out my make up (it's currently in a massive storage box, but it's not a 'professional' box so he thinks that's okay

)

It was so hard to see anything at the Crown stand with so many people! I did have a quick look but as I'd finish each section another three girls would be in front of the next bit and I just left it and went back to Royal. They were so helpful and they had it set out a lot better. (plus I had my heart set on the blue pro brushes!)

With that sort of space all the stalls should have been spread out a lot more so we could get in and swatch and play easier!

Ha I know that panic well.. my makeup is in drawers and my BF keeps stumbling across it while looking for socks.

You'd love the mini train cases on wheels- they had them in pink! Pink isn't professional

I would love them! But the fact that these boxes have sections inside and latches and wheels would worry him!

I think I'll check out the blue pro brushes, I really like the sound of blue brushes

Going to sleep now so I can be there bright and early tomorrow! I think I'll rampage the smashbox stall first, then target Royal brushes. Since the lip tars will be on back order anyway, there's no big rush

I'm excited again!

 

[simplyenchantin]

I'm excited too haha! I might take a closer look at Smashbox :> The power went out here but it's back on now.. yay..

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

My boyfriend doesn't freak out about my makeup addiction. In fact he enables it. Hahaha sucker.... Lol

He even gave me money for IMATS!

I'm kind of jealous of you girls going again today! Argh, why didn't I get the two day pass

 

[sweetbabyblue]

Back!
Brought a fair amoutn of smashbox stuff. I got two softlights, cooling tint and two sets, one for myself and another as a gift. I really liked the red and black wallet looking ones, but the ones left had people's paw prints in them

Brought two lip tars, one's on backorder. I wanted to buy all the colours but I had to hold back

Brought some Royal brushes, but the black kabuki I brought is bleeding alot!

 

[sweetbabyblue]

MrsMay, I think I saw you this morning, but I didn't want to embarass myself/scare you by yelling 'HI MRSMAY!'

Shame to hear about the kabuki

But wow your self-control is so good!

 

[sweetbabyblue]

hehe, hi!! Did you buy anything else after I left?
I am so happy with my purchases though, the pageant liptar with sweet strawberry lipglass is AMAZING!! If you have it, try it! I tried to take a photo but the camera just couldn't capture the colour correctly.
I just realised the lip tar is the same colour as my nails today

 

[simplyenchantin]

I got a cooling tint too! And another foundation for a friend.. and I kinda got sucked into the Yaby palettes, those eye shadows are SO cute.. oh and I tried what I thought (in their crappy lighting) looked like a Vegas Volt dupe but it's more like GAT and it doesn't make me look scary hahaha. Yay for brights

 

[sweetbabyblue]

^They were amazingly cheap! Even as a tinted moisturiser they'd be awesome

 

[xLongLashesx]

Uh oh.. I hope my Royal long handled kabuki doesn't bleed!

I washed all the Royal eye brushes I hauled last night and nothing bled, or shed hairs so I was very surprised. I've used most of them and have to say I'm really happy with the quality for the price.

 

[sweetbabyblue]

^I didn't see any long handled kabuki? I only got the normal short ones?

 

[xLongLashesx]

It was in with the face/ powder brushes, I think they called it mini dome brush but is essentially a kabuki- small, dense and round. I hate short handled ones because they always slip out of my hand and go flying!

lol yeah it probably would have been me - I went back to quickly grab some stuff this morning for my sister as a christmas present. You should have yelled out - I scared Michelle while she was swatching MUFE e/s so it would have been only fair lol

[simplyenchantin]

At least I responded well to being scared lol!

Nice haul. I won't list what I bought. Lol.

 

[xLongLashesx]

No no you must! I want to know what everyone hauled.

Here's a pic I took for my BF halfway thru the day, some smashbox blushes and Royal brushes are missing cos I hadn't bought them yet.

 

[sweetbabyblue]

Very impressive hauls!
I did most of my damage at Smashbox hehe
I will post my pic tomorrow..I have an exam tomorrow morning I should be studying for, whoops!
I washed my other Royal brushes and they were perfectly fine, maybe these weren't Royal brushes but were sold at the stalls? there's no logo on them?
I didn't really like the CS palettes, they were very cheap at $20, but the pigmentation on the displays weren't good at all?

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Here is my haul

*Naked Cosmetics Pigment Stacks in Ebony, Shock Effect, Tropical Indulgence and Sierra Nevada
*Naked Cosmetics Shadow Primer
*OCC Lip Tars in Grandma, Hush and Conquest (last two on back-order)
