It is a very exciting weekend for beauty fiends, as IMATS has finally reached Los Angeles! I was fortunate enough to shop on Pro Night yesterday, so I picked up some fabulous goodies. I am saved up as much as I could for Hakuhodo brushes, and I am overjoyed with the performance of the styles I have chosen. Still, I wish I had been able to purchase more!
Don't forget to check out the IMATS Exhibitor Map so that you know exactly which booths to head to. Sunday is a tough day to shop since lots of top sellers will be sold out, so go prepared with a wish list and prioritize your time! MAC was selling all their Pro goods at 20% off, and you may use your Pro Card for additional discounts if you have one that is up to date. Plastic only, must pay tax. Now, Hakuhodo never offers discounts, but I was happy enough that I did not have to pay taxes on my purchases. Don't forget to swing by Velour Lashes and stock up on the best luxury false lashes on the market! I already hoard mine but never hesitate to buy more whenever I get the chance because I'm nutty like that. Last but not least, visit the far left end of the makeup arena to purchase Parian Spirit brush wipes and Violet Voss cosmetics glitters and rhinestoned accessories.
I threw in some non-IMATS goodies by Tom Ford and Urban Decay at the end, so I hope you'll enjoy the variety of products featured! Some new, some Holy Grail.. I promise it's worth the extra few minutes of your time! And if you're attending IMATS tomorrow, best of luck and happy shopping! xo

ReplyDeleteHi Rae!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting a good, large, and fluffy face powder brush for a while now. Especially having heard your thoughts about the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders, I have been wanting one of those as well, but I'm not sure which kind of face powder brush (in size and density) would be good to use for that purpose. I'd love to see your thoughts on your makeup brushes (I'm more curious about your thoughts on face powder brushes)! Can you please do a blog post or a video about them? I know that you have powder brushes from Tom Ford, Sigma, Hakuhodo, etc. so can you do like a comparison between them and with what kind of product are they best to use with?
Thank you and I hope to see this post soon!
