Most people have been attempting 'dry January' this new year to cut down on their drinking habits, but for a makeup junkie like me I've dedicated myself to a makeup buying ban (eek!) for as long as I can last and boy has it been hard! I've been cutting way back on all my expenses to save money for training courses (exciting blog posts will follow this exciting new venture) and partly down to the fact I have no more space for any more makeup! I had a huge clear out at the beginning of the year and chucked a lot of junk I was hoarding - hideous shades of lipstick I'l never be seen dead in, eye shadows with awful colour pay off and even some empty bottles rattling around! Any makeup addict will agree that even throwing out crappy makeup is painful, but it helped me re-discover some long forgotten gems that had been lost to the depths of my drawers and boxes and replaced with newer purchases.

IMATS haul
So this year was my very first trip to IMATS and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The International Makeup Artist Trade Show hosts some of the best makeup brands and suppliers with insane discounts. As soon as I walked in I thought I had died and gone to makeup heaven <3
As a freelance makeup artist I tried to strike a balance between buying things for my personal makeup collection and investing money in products for my kit - it was so hard to control myself because there was just so much choice! So here's everything that I bought from IMATS...

Most essential item first: false lashes! I picked up 4 pairs of falsies from the eyelash emporium for £5.99 each (RRP £9.99 each). I got lashes in Miami, Paris, Tokyo and Los Angeles. The lovely women at the stand also gave me a free set of falsies and applied them for me! I will definitely be buying more of these, even at full price they're totally worth it.
