IMATS NYC HAUL PART TWO: LIMECRIME, PRESTIGE, SIGMA

So the two booths that I was most excited to check out at IMATS were Limecrime and Sigma. I guess everyone else was also because I waited an hour for Limecrime and almost two hours for Sigma but it was worth the wait and I made a few friends along the way so I didn't really seem like that long overall. 

First up is Limecrime; the products I was most excited to pick up were their lipsticks. I already have babette and coquette but I wanted to check out some of their brighter colors for spring. When I got up to the testers I basically picked up every color that appealed to me…what can I say? I went a little crazy. These lipsticks are absolutely beautiful. Creamy, pigmented and very comfortable on the lips. Let's just say I'm obsessed.

I also have had my eye on this bright lime green liquid liner so I grabbed that as well during my makeup rampage. This color is BAM in your face but I think pairing this with a neutral eye and onto of black eye liner will help tone it down.

Next up was Sigma aka the longest line I've ever waited in my life. I didn't care though I was dead set on purchasing a few things. I picked up a few brushes but when I saw their makeup on display I picked up these gems as well. 

 I've heard a bunch of people talking about how unique this color is so I wanted to pick it up while it was right in front of me. Hint is really an unique color; a purpley taupe nude is how I would describe it but it looks beautiful on the lips and I think this will look awesome as a nude gloss when you have a tan. 

I also have been curious about the eyeshadow base in Awake. This light baby pink color is beautiful for brightening any color and really making your eyes look awake.  

After leaving IMATS we walked around the city while trying to make our way back to the train station and I ran into a two floor Duane Reade so you know I was in there like swimwear. They had every drugstore brand and even some higher end skincare brands. The only thing that struck my fancy was one of these new Prestige eyeshadows. This metallic pink color is beautiful and the consistency is so cool. It's almost cream like, very interesting.

So that's it for my NYC IMATS haulage. I went overboard, I know but it;s only once a year so I did it up.

Review & Swatch: Sigma Creme De Couture Palette

The Sigma Creme De Couture Palette is absolutely beautiful. Although the colors in this palette would lead you to think this would be released in the spring or summer, I am still going to be using this beauty throughout the fall season. The colors are absolutely stunning. This collection was inspired by macaroons and I think they nailed it. The palette retails for $32.00 and there are also three blushes which retail for $12.00 a piece, or you can buy the whole collection for $55.00. I skipped on the blushes but they do look beautiful. Lets get to the main event! This palette has 16 pigmented and buttery shadows with names that make you hungry for dessert.

Now onto the swatches....

The swatches are all without a primer. Oh My God I am in love. I can't wait to play with this and come up with some looks. Expect to see this palette quite often in my FOTD's :)
