IMATS Wishlist

 

IMATS is drawing closer and closer, and I thought it important to spend an evening in front of the laptop, perusing my future purchases and mapping out my IMATS plan of attack. Here are the fruits of the evening!

 

Illamasqua

At IMATS 2011 I purchased a few lip products from Illamasqua that I just don't get enough wear out of, so this time around I am hoping to pick up a new pressed powder, or perhaps a blush shade. Those are things I know I will get more use out of, and would be great additions to my cosmetic collection.

 

 Unii Palettes

I am planning on getting two or three of these empty makeup palettes to get me stuck into depotting and condensing my powders. I neglected to get one last year as they didn't have the colours I was interested in, and I'd rather not pay shipping for them when I know I can get them for a great price at the trade show.

 

Face Paint Set

I have been thinking about branching out into creative makeup and face painting. I have a whole bunch of nieces and nephews (11 if you include Chris' side, with 1 on the way!) and would love to be able to paint their faces for parties etc. I could end up being really terrible at it, but I'd love to give it a whirl anyway.

 

MAC

Though I have quite an extensive MAC collection as it is, I am lusting over the Mineralize Skin Finish Natural and perhaps Soft and Gentle to use as a highlight as well. Whether or not I can be bothered lining up at the busy stall remains to be seen, it really depends on my mood.

NYX
NYX is really hard to get a hold of (unless you resort to ebay) and I want to swatch a few of the powder blushes and give them a shot. I will definitely be buying Taupe to use as a contour shade, but I'd also love to pick up another pink shade now that I'm almost finished with Peach.

 

Embryolisse

I have heard so much about this brand and I am very, very excited to grab a few pieces. Now that I'm obsessed with skin care I like being able to switch it up depending on how my skin is acting, so I'm looking forward to this nourishing range.

Ardell
I have not yet successfully applied false lashes, and I'm hoping to pick up some Ardell (and maybe some other brands) to practise with. I have a few looks planned that really need the oomph that lashes give, so I can't wait to learn how to best use these!

Will I be seeing you at IMATS?
Have you tried any of these brands?

Attempting to save for ABBW2011 as well as the Europe trip I have planned for next year means I've been holding off on some of the things I'd usually buy. I'm being realistic and know that I will eventually own most if not all of this, I'm trying to pace it out and spread out the pain to the purse. First up is definitely the Chanel shadows, the lemming is literally burning my chest and I've got to put out the flame. My world will be complete when I get my hands on one, if only for a moment. Here is the rundown of what has been flooding my mind

*Chanel fall 2011, particularly the shadows. epatant will most likely be the first I pick up, who knows what will hop in my basket after that

*Nars Outremer, because although I have too many bright shadows as it is, this one is such a stunner. Have heard it's hard to work with though, only swatching will tell;)

*Nars Grand Palais, I am in desperate need of some everyday shades and since I'm yet to own a Nars duo, I thought this could pop my cherry

*Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, simply to compare with my beloved Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant. My flaky skin needs all the scrubbing it can get, I love it.
*The Body Needs pressing kit, to smush up my loose powders so I can arrange them in a pretty palette. That reminds me that I also need a pretty palette, hmmm...
*Camel Cape from Rachel Zoe's new line! It just hit shopbop and it is right up my alley
*MuLondon White Chocolate Truffle Moisturiser- finally, a way to slather myself in dessert without it being messy and wrong! Jade has got me lemming this, and when I use up a bit more of my other moisturizers I'm going to give it a go.
*Korres lip balm in Jasmine. Pretty pot full of sweet lip soothing goodness, not that I need it but oh well.
*MAC Scene eyeshadow since I'm still lemming a gorgeous grey to pop into my MAC palette which is a little bare right now. I was originally gunning for the grey from Surf Baby but wasn't impressed when I swatched it.
*Orange satchel bag, this one happens to be from Asos but I'm not really fussed where it is from. I actually saw a really nice one is a recent Grazia magazine, which I'm going to try and chase up.

Now, here is the part where you make me feel better and share what YOU are lemming?
