Out And About: IMATS Los Angeles 2012, Part Two

Happy Friday! :D

I can't believe another week -- and not to mention, another month -- is behind us!

I hope you are all making the most out of Summer 2012. :D

Anyway, without further ado, here is my promised Part Two of my day at IMATS Los Angeles:

(Click here to see Part One.)

I was so happy to see that Coastal Scents now has a booth at IMATS!

They had a fun game -- you drop a mini-plastic disc in one of the slots and wherever it lands tells you what prize you'll get. I got a sample of African Black Soap -- I've heard so many good things about it and I'm so excited to use it!

Project Ghana

Unfortunately, they are only available for sale online, so I wasn't able to get a full-sized bar.

I will definitely check out their products, though! 

(Click here to learn more about them.)

Coastal Scents was also promoting their 252 Ultimate Palette -- the colors were gorgeous!

Classic Series Cosmetic Brushes

They had a nice selection of products to choose from.

42 Double Stack Matte Palette/ 42 Double Stack Shimmer Palette/ 10 Blush Palette/ 6 Contour Blush Palette

Think Pink Palette/ Winterberry Palette/ Forever Natural Palette/ Creative Me #1 Palette/ Creative Me #2 Palette/ Fall Festival Palette

more products...

Liquid HD Foundation in 19 shades

I also spent a lot of time at the LA Splash Cosmetics booth.

They had a lot of fun products at really affordable prices!

I also visited the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics booth.

This is one of the many brands I have yet to try... maybe next time, I can buy a little something from them. :)

Such beautiful colors!

nail polish

CAILYN = another brand I have yet to try.

They have really good eyeliner! 

I swatched them on my hand -- they dried quickly and they didn't smear at all!

The owners were so nice and so helpful -- they will really answer all your questions! :)

I also got to know another brand: Stiletto Pin-Up Cosmetics.

I got a free mini-brush like the one pictured above. :)

Their vintage pin-up designs are so beautiful!

Next stop: Morphé Brushes.

Besides brushes, they also had these scented makeup remover wipes.

At $3 each, I couldn't possibly pass them up! ;)

I got one in Green Tea. 

They were also available in Aloe, Apricot, Cucumber, and Collagen.

Aaaaaah, NYX -- this is where I went crazy, haha! ;)

This is the only photo I took of the NYX booth because I got busy shopping, haha!

In the end though, I narrowed down my purchases to 6 items -- I was on a budget, after all. ;)

SHANY COSMETICS

This is another thing I forgot to get. :/

2nd love Baked Powder Collection

a closer look...

KollagenX products

I really, really wanted to get their lip gloss (it has 24KT gold!), but they were $20 each... :/

Next time, though!

hair accessories

more hair accessories...

I love how you can find and join fun games and raffles like the one from Coastal Scents and ARDELL (pictured above). :)

EXIT TO LOBBY

Like last year, I stayed until closing. ;)

The crowd from the morning was nowhere to be seen, haha!

You can see that everyone was so tired (but happy!).

Bye, IMATS! ;)

Oh and yup, the next IMATS Los Angeles will be in January 2013 -- in six months!!!

They are switching their Los Angeles and London shows. I think that's pretty smart because that way it won't be too cold in London and it won't be too hot in Los Angeles.

I think it's gonna be kind of weird though because I associate IMATS with summer, but I know it's still gonna be fun. 

Plus, it would be nice to wear comfy boots to IMATS, haha! :P

That is it for my day at IMATS, I hope you guys enjoyed looking at all these photos! ;)

I will be making separate posts for my IMATS freebies and haul, so please stay tuned for that. :D

Have you ever attended IMATS before? How was it for you?

Did you go to IMATS Los Angeles this past weekend?

Is it something you would consider attending?

I wish everyone a happy, happy weekend!

Yay for the Fourth of July (and my 22nd birthday!) next week! :D
