IMATS NY 2014 Recap

So, I know that I'm a little bit behind in posting about IMATS NY, but better late than never! 

Bright and early at Pier 94!

This was my first time going to IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show), and it definitely won't be my last! I was excited to finally be able to attend, since I have missed out on previous years. 

Before the event I did my research and mapped out the booths I wanted to check out first, and tried to keep myself within a budget, but let me tell you-it was definitely hard doing so! It was every makeup junkie's dream, and to simply walk by some great booths/products without purchasing anything was very hard to do! 

As soon as I stepped foot inside the building, I went straight to the Limecrime booth, and was surprised to see that the line looked pretty ridiculous, being that the event started only 10 minutes prior. I was determined to get the lippies I had my eye on and made the line anyway. A word of advice: if you plan on attending IMATS next year please make sure you have comfy shoes on, get there as early as possible, and have lots of patience! It can get a bit nuts at times.

At IMATS you also have the chance to meet some of your favorite makeup artists/ beauty vloggers!

So gorgeous! Carli Bybel!

Had a nice chat with Julie G . Such a sweet girl! 

I was looking forward to meeting Amanda Ensing . Beautiful, and down to earth!

I will put up a haul of what I got at the event soon. I enjoyed myself so much, that I'm thinking of heading out to IMATS LA next year (my bank account hates me already)!

Have you attended IMATS before? What was your experience like?
