IMAT'S

I went to the IMAT'S exhibition on Saturday with Hel, we set off early because knowing us we probably would get lost. Armed with a satnav and printed directions we made our way to London.

I don't know what I expected from IMAT's but it certainly wasn't the picture I had in my head. If you have ever been to the ClothesShow Live in Birmingham which is a huge exhibition of shops, stalls, catwalks and demonstrations then this is what I thought this might be but for makeup!

It wasn't.

It was a little bit of a disappointment if I'm honest, it was tiny, we walked around every stall in a matter of minutes. But there were some positives, namely this little beauty;

OMG!I'm so excited about having this little card in my purse, so I'm glad I went just for this. Usually a Mac PRO card can only been given if you are a professional within the beauty industry but on this day they were giving them to anyone for £25, which is great for 35% of all MAC for a year.

I got a temporary card for now as the real one will be sent in a few weeks, can't wait! As soon as I'd payed I raced to the packed Mac store, it only sold the PRO line so there wasn't much choice unless you love crazy colours but I picked up some great things.

This is my first ever pigment, I've never really been keen to try these as they look potentially messy, wasn't sure how to use them and fairly expensive but I love purple and I love this!

This is Deep Purple!

It is a gorgeous shimmery dark purple great for going out and creating a purple smokey eye, can't wait to try this out.

On my persuit of the perfect nude lip I couldn't resist these gorgeous lipsticks, I ended up buying all three of the range of nudes they had. So gorgeous.

The new additions to my collection are (L-R) Lovedust, Fleshpot and Peachstock.

Same order in swatches, I'll do them on lips in another post!

I also got my first blush pan to go in my new palette which I also purchased alond with a new eyeshadow one. At the top is Mac's creme liner in Dark Brown and below is O-J eyeliner which I actually bought thinking it was a lipliner, silly me.

This is Sunbasque which is a gorgeous peachy blush with gold shimmer, I think this will look amazing with a Tan, bring on Summer.

I only purchased one eyeshadow because they didn't have two others I asked for but anyway heres Deep Damson.
Sticking with the purple family this is a matte dark purpley brown.

Thats what I got from the Pro store there is more to come from IMATS in the next post!
