Mac So Sweet Collection

I'm no MAC fan boy, only possessing 4 products from them including these. Nor am I a hater, I love there imagery and concepts behind the releases.The pro image from this release was too much I loved it. I was anticipating this release for months. I know that there are a lot of hardcore mac fans and on the flip side the people who have begun to hate Mac due to the constant flood of new releases. It's hard to get sucked into the hype surrounding the launches. I know I do but some how they never look quite the same in person or one me(bummer). I love cute bright girly colors. I picked up a few pieces. I'm thinking I should have gotten In Sync lipliner but it's not critical since it's now a permeant color.

Bobbie Brown Eyeshadow Pallet

 I recently bought 4 pan pallet from Bobbie Brown. Along with purchased a shimmer wash shadow in Ivory and a matte shadow in Birch.  I popped out my much loved najavo and espresso. Completing my BB pallet. I love BB's shadows they're my HG. The colors are very flattering and there's a lot of subtle variations of colors. The shadows are highly pigmented with a soft velvety texture. Unlike many other pigmented shadows they are not prone to crumbing and fall down.

Summer Must Have: Sunscreen

First of all, I have fairly pale skin(NW20). I do burn easily and like to protect my skin. I've tried tons of sunscreen both high and low end. My favorite is the new Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock SPF 70. It has everything I want in a sunscreen: high SPF feels like nothing, dries matte, and good price.

There will be a follow up post on IMATS within the next week. 

Overall IMATS was definitely worth going and checking out. We just bought the single day exhibition hall pass. To us it wasn't worth it to get a full pass because we are just cosmetic enthusiasts or prosumers.  We're no professionals. Youtube and other online tutorials are good enough for us. IMATS is the most unorganized convention that we've been to. Most of the people that were in line were either confuse or hoped that they were in the correct line. The line went by very slow and the employee that were manning the lines were not very helpful in helping people to their appropriate line. IMATS is located in Pasadena even though the event said IMATS LA. It is a small convention center compare to other convention center like San Diego, LA, and Anahiem.
