Oh IMATS.... Ever year, I look forward to celebrating my makeup obsessions with the rest of the makeup loving community! Every blogger, Youtube star and beauty enthusiast was in attendance, and there's nothing better than to be in a room surrounded by your peers. My best friends/cousins accompany me and make this trip more of an experience than a haul, and I love them to death for geeking out with me every single year. We've attended IMATS for the past 6 years and every year I get excited and almost sick from anticipation :)
My goal for IMATS was lipstick, lipstick and more lipstick :) I've been a FAN of Dose of Colors for a while and I was in NEED of their matte lipsticks and a few of their highlighters. I also wanted to try a few of Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks because i've only heard amazing things in terms of their pigmentation and staying power. And we cannot forget about OCC Lip Tars! Every year I buy a small stack of OCC lip tars and this year, I went for bold, beautiful, FUN colors!
I honestly think I walked out of IMATS with more lipstick than I really NEED. But-- it was totally worth it :)
