IMATS NYC 2013 photos and Haul! (pic heavy!)

 This past weekend was so amazing.  I had the opportunity to visit NYC with some of my polish besties, and we had a blast! In this post will be my nails from IMATS and also my haul from IMATS.  If you follow me on instagram, you have already seen some of these photos, but I included more of the entire event in this post. :)

First up are the nails I wore to IMATS.  This polish is Jesse's Girl Julie G frosted gumdrop in Rock Candy. One of my friends had this before we went, and when I got to IMATS I picked this beauty up! There will be swatches later on of the part of collection I now own.

The next photo is of my haul! I know that everyone loves to see haul photos, I know I do!

I got 4 OCC lip tars at the IMATS and one at Sephora the day before: Pretty Boy, Strumpet, Stalker, Harlot, and Clear   (The price for the Lip Tars at the IMATS was $12 each(they are $18 regular price!))

I got from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics a set of 4 of the Frosted Gumdrops collection[they were out of two of them] and they were on sale for 3 for $10, so I walked away with 6 polishes. The four gumdrop polishes I got were Rock Candy, Crushed Candy, Hot Cinnamon, and Tangerine Dream, and for the other two I got Butterflies and Rosebuds a shimmery red-violet, and Gelato in Venice a pretty mint color. Also from Jesse's Girl I got an eyeshadow Palette($5), a lip gloss and a nail polish for free because Jesse walked around the line and handed me a bag of freebies! How sweet!

I also got some brushes at Imats: seen in the left of the photo, below I have a closer look at the brushes and the prices listed.

In total I spend less than $100. I totally could have spent more, its so easy and cheap to get things!

These are the brushes I got all layed out.  I got two of mostly every one, a set for me and a set for my mom.  Most of the black handle brushes were $1 excluding an eyeshadow shader brush which was $2.50.  The pink handle brushes were $3, and the large stipple brush on the end was $.7.50

 Now for more good stuff! The photos from IMATS! It was crazy packed around certain counters, and I didn't want to fight my way to the Inglot counter, so I just let it be. lol.
