This was my first year at IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) and it was an experience to say the least. I learned a lot and got to buy a lot of stuff! I will record an IMATS vlog and link it here once it’s edited. Just wanted to show you guys some of the crazier things I saw that had me in awe.

If you don’t know what Hautelook is you don’t know what you’re missing!!! It’s a discount, members only, site that offers different sales on everything from shoes to resorts. You can sign up here if you do not already have an account! Recently I shopped their Urban Decay sale and although I didn’t buy a lot the deals were insane!!!!!! I got two eyeshadows (in jones and electric) and I got an Ink for Eyes cream eyeliner in Pyrotechnics. I paid $5 for each of these items! Yeah, I said it… $5.00!!!!! I saved $20.95 on my Hautelook purchase versus if I bought it in stores! They always have awesome…

I am loving this combination on my lips! It was in my May Favorites and may just make it to my June as well!! It’s MAKE UP FOR EVER’s Rouge Artist Intense #22 and Ulta’s Mineral Lipgloss in Pink Topaz. The MUFE lipstick is such a light tan color that it doesn’t compliment my skin tone at all, but with the pinkish Ulta gloss it’s the perfect nude lipe for me!

Thats a lot of stuff in that picture, huh? Well before you start thinking I’m a shopaholic remember that everything I bought was on sale!!!! I spent $34.75 after tax and a$10 off $40 coupon that came to my email since I’m a part of their mailing list. I…… WON!!!!!!! Lol

I’ve been so excited about moving into a townhouse to have a spare bedroom for my makeup room/ office. I started off by getting a rolling organizer cart that I saw in a youtuber’s makeup tour video. I don’t know why, but I instantly fell in love with it. I had been searching the internet and everywhere I looked it was $60+. NO SIR! Not for a PLASTIC CART! lol. Turns out a YouTuber sent me a link to it on Sam’s Club’s website and it was only $30!!!

I’ve recently done a tutorial on how to put on the Sally Hensen Salon Effects Strips on my youtube channel. The application of these strips was very easy and took minutes to do. I decided to use them as an accent nail on my ring fingers. This allowed me to use one strip on two nails (since I keep my nails short).
