Out And About: IMATS Los Angeles 2013

Happy Friday! :D

I went on a short break, but now I am back with a new post for you guys. :)

Last Saturday, I attended IMATS Los Angeles 2013 -- I don't know if it's because of the switch from June to January, but this year's IMATS was a bit underwhelming... some of my absolute favorite vendors from the past two IMATS I've attended weren't there (no NYX!!!) and the buzz just wasn't the same as before... but nevertheless, I still had fun learning about new beauty products and I had a blast shopping, of course! ;)

I chose to go a little later in the morning this year -- I really wanted to avoid standing in line for too long, haha!

The first thing you'll see is the Royal & Langnickel booth...

They have really excellent makeup brushes!

I love my Royal & Langnickel brushes!!! :)

Other familiar booths:

Cailyn -- they have amazing eyeliners!

Ben Nye -- I heard their Banana Powder is extraordinary!

Stila was there too...

Right across from Stila is Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics...

I really want to try their OCC Lip Tar™ -- they have a variety of gorgeous shades to choose from!

Next year, I promise! ;)

There were also some new booths:

Sugarpill Cosmetics

Lime Crime

I love how colorful and fun these two booths are!

Another new addition to this year's IMATS: O.R.G Skincare

This has got to be THE highlight of my day!

I got to meet Donna and Suzie -- Suzie explained the story behind O.R.G and she demonstrated how to use their super awesome Organic Mineral Peel... more on this on a separate post, there's a lot I wanna tell you guys about O.R.G and their products! :)

There were also some nail products:

I got nail polishes from LA Splash, I'm so excited about those! ;)

Cailyn also sold nail stickers -- such pretty designs!

Different kinds of accessories were also sold at IMATS:

And of course, it wouldn't be IMATS without the awesome models walking around sporting the excellent skills of makeup artists:

This guy totally walked up to people -- scary, but amazing at the same time, haha! ;)

I'm gonna have to wait another year to attend IMATS 2014 -- maybe I should start making a list of things I want to buy so I don't forget anything, haha! ;)

I'm really hoping it gets better next year and I hope NYX makes it to IMATS Los Angeles 2014!!!

I'll share all the goodies I got from IMATS with you guys next week, so please stay tuned! :)

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

Did you go to IMATS Los Angeles last weekend?

Is it something you would consider attending?

Have a happy weekend, guys!!! :D
