Lip of the day: MAC Cosmetics Toledo Collection in Victoriana

March 23, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Love this lip! It’s my first bright lip of spring! I’m so glad that winter is over, although it is trying its best to stick around long past its welcome!

Outer sleeve. How pretty is this??

I picked this up recently and it is part of the Isabel and Ruben Toledo collaboration with M.A.C. Don’t forget that Isabel Toledo made the green embroidered Inaugural dress suit that First Lady Michelle Obama wore in 2009. This is a full, artsy collection that includes eye shadow palettes, lipsticks, nails, makeup bag and coloured mascara.  I’m a sucker for pretty packaging, so I picked up just one lipstick.

IMATS, IMATS, IMATS NYC!!

April 16, 2011 / / 6 Comments

That’s pretty much what I said when I heard that the International Makeup Artist Tradeshow (IMATS) was finally coming to NYC in 2011.  In L.A. and Toronto, it is usually a must-go event and I was excited! I love going to these shows for a number of reasons,

  1. I get shop a lot of different makeup brands, especially those that are usually online only, at a discount.
  2. I get to meet fellow bloggers and vloggers that I ‘stalk’ on a daily basis
  3. And…I get to take classes taught by some of my favourite celebrity makeup masters.

So I attended last Sunday, which ended up being a great idea as I heard that it was just chaos on Saturday.  I got to SoHo early so I was able to browse the booths with ease.  Even though the show was hosted on multiple levels, there were less vendors than I expected.  There were many of the most popular brands that were not there like M.A.C. and Make Up For Ever.  I think that the organizers played it conservatively and limited the number of attendees and vendors.

I had a short shopping list and as soon as I get there, I headed to those specific booths.  Here’s my mini haul!

Haul!
