Last Saturday I attended the International Make-up Artist Trade Show, most commonly known as IMATS, at the Alexandra Palace in London. Rachel and I thought we'd beat the crowd and go early, meaning that we managed to have a good look around the stalls and do a fair bit of shopping, before it got too hectic. We then headed to the press lounge where we were treated to an extensive brunch buffet, manicures and massages, courtesy of Royal & Langnickel. It might have been the first time I went to the famous make-up show, but it sure isn't the last. IMATS 2013 couldn't come soon enough!

And purely because I love seeing what's in other people's shopping bags and I assume you do too, here is what I came back with :
Royal & Langnickel kabuki brush, Illamasqua SOB cream blusher, MAC Reflex Pearl, MAC Pro card,
Illamasqua Whack nail varnish and Liquid Metals in Berber and Electrum, Real Technique contour brush,
MAC Morange lipstick, Silk Pro Greenline brush set c/o Royal & Lagnickel, Crown C208, C210 and C250-1 brushes,
Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Femme, MAC Twinks eyeshadow, Illamasqua eyeliner pencil in Adamant and Cane.

Did you go to IMATS? If so, what did you get?

That breakfast looks DIVINE!
ReplyDeletePlus, that woman has bigger hair than mine - and that's saying something ha! xx
you got some great photos, and remind me why I did not take any photos of that brunch?!
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you tried the gold liquid metal yet? I'm not too sure about it...
I have and I really like it! Obviously, it's going to crease, but that's part of the look I think... What is it you're not too sure about? x
DeleteNice pictures :) IMATS looks really fun! xx
