What's New: IMATS Haul - Illamasqua, MAC, MUFE, Crown Brush, Inglot, Miss Adoro

What's New: IMATS Haul..

In my previous post, I mentioned attending IMATS London this year. If you're not too sure of what IMATS is then click here to read my last post. There were a few discounted products though I didn't manage to find many that I wanted. I really regret not getting the MUFE Smokey Lash Mascara. I hadn't really heard about it until recently when all these YouTubers and Bloggers came back from IMATS raving about it. 

First stop for me was Illamasqua where I probably bought the most from as all their items were less than £10! I wish I was able to get more interesting things but regardless, here are the products I managed to grab.





Illamasqua





Nail Varnish - Glory



This nail polish has been described as a molten silver. It's great for those looking for a silver nail polish that doesn't look glittery!

Discount Price: £5

Regular Price: £13.50





Nail Varnish - Throb
Though I have a few red polishes already, I picked up what Illamasqua describes as a 'blood red'.
Discount Price: £5
Regular Price: £13.50


Intense Lipgloss - Femme
After seeing swatches on Temptalia, I've always wanted to own one of the intense lipglosses. This was the only shade of pink they had on the day. Though it looks red in the tube, it actually comes out pink. On the website they describe this as a 'bright coral pink'.


Swatch
 



Discount Price: £5
Regular Price: £13






Sheer Lipgloss - Mina



I thought I'd be adventurous and also pick up a colour which is described as a 'shimmering berry purple'. I do not own any lipglosses in this colour as I tend to go for pinks and nudes. As it is a sheer lipgloss, the purple isn't too intense.





Swatch


 



Discount Price: £5
Regular Price: £13






Inglot





Matte Collection Nail Enamel - 719























When I got to the Inglot stand, the range of nail polish colours and finishes amazed me! This is a nail enamel that is part of their 'Matte Collection'. It can be worn matte or glossy if a glossy top coat is applied.
I think this colour is a very pretty coral that will be great for summer!
Discount Price: £6
Regular Price: £8




Matte Collection Nail Enamel - 716




Once again this is another nail enamel that is part of their 'Matte Collection'. I love this type of shade and would describe it as a pinky nude. 
Discount Price: £6
Regular Price: £8




Crown Brush


CO1 Maxi Mop


I've never owned anything from Crown Brush. This is one product that caught my eye whilst at their stand because it is a sponge applicator with a ferrule and brush handle. I've never seen anything like it! I think it'll be great for blending or applying my under eye concealer. I'm not sure why it's called a maxi mop though lol. Maybe it has a specific use? Who knows?



Discount Price: £2
Regular Price: £2.22




MAKE UP FOR EVER





Full Cover Concealer - #12



I wasn't really interested in getting much from the MUFE stand as I already own their MUFE HD Foundation and I couldn't be bothered to get colour matched to their Mat Velvet + so I only picked up their Full Cover Concealer just to see what it's like.



Discount Price: £13.81
Regular Price: £20.50




Miss Adoro


Human Hair False Eyelashes - #15
I don't usually wear eyelashes because I just can't be bothered for the whole application process but for the price I just couldn't resist.
Discount Price: £2
Regular Price: Cannot remember. Sorry!




MAC Pro


Mineralize Skin Finish Natural - Dark
Blush (satin finish) - Devil


As you all know, the MSF Natural was a repurchase. 
As this was MAC Pro, I thought I'd take advantage and buy a colour that can't be purchased in their stores so I went for an orange with a satin finish!


Blush Swatch
Blush Price: £14.50
MSF Natural Price: £20.50


Not much but what do you think?

IMATS London 2012!

IMATS London 2012..


On Saturday 4th Feb I attended IMATS (International Make-up Artist Trade Show). For those who don't know what IMATS is, it is an event open to the public though mainly for make-up artists/students which is held once a year in different places internationally. As usual, the London one was held in Alexandra Palace. Many well known brands including Illamasqua, MAC and Make Up Forever were there with their products for sale at a discount! There were also master classes and guest speakers present such as Valenté Frazier (Emmy award-winning and Tyra Banks' makeup artist).
It was an OK day I guess. I wasn't actually expecting it to be great as I also attended last year and already knew what it was going to be like. I think there were much less people this year and also less exhibitors. Illamasqua was by far the busiest exhibitor with everything under £10! I managed to get a few bits which I will show you in my next post.


I'm not going to bore you with any more text in this post. I just wanted to show you some pictures from the day!
