NYC IMATS HAUL AND GIVEAWAY!

Hello! Welcome back to our blog. If you are a follower then you may know that we have been slacking on our blog posts recently. We have been focused on our YouTube channel but we are back at it today with a very fun blog- our NYC IMATS HAUL AND GIVEAWAY!

We spent last weekend in New York city with our boyfriends and spent Saturday at IMATS. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, IMATS stands for the International Makeup Artist Trade Show. We got to check out a lot of different brands and get them for discounted prices. We also got to meet a bunch of amazing ladies who also have YouTube channels. Oh and one other thing, JESSICA GOT ENGAGED! Rob proposed to her in Central park and I got it on video! If you want to check out our NYC | IMATS 2014 & PROPOSAL!!!

or our NYC | Outfits of the Day! you can check them out on our YouTube channel! If you want to see what we bought and see the links to those products then read on. If you want to check out our IMATS Haul and Giveaway then click here.

OCC COSMETICS

BLACK METAL DAHLIA

Check out Black Metal Dahlia

I picked up a very pretty lip tar that admittedly is a little out of my comfort zone but I absolutely love it. It is so pretty and I'm so excited to create some looks with this.

NSFW- GOLD LACED RED

Check out NSFW- Gold Laced Red

This red color is SO RED. Like I don't know how to say it any other way. I have never tried a lip stain so I didn't expect it to be this bright and heavy but I love it! These were $10 each at IMATS but they run for about $18 normally.

MORPHE

35W-35 COLOR WARM PALLETE
Check out the 35W-35 Color Warm Palette!

This amazing palette was only $15 but they retail for about $20. Jessica actually bought two of these, one for her and one for Rob's sister Katie. Look how gorgeous these colors are! :)

06F- PRESSED POWDER PALETTE
Check out the 06F- Pressed Powder Palette!

We both bought one of these amazing palettes. I used mine and it worked perfecting for highlighting and contouring. We got these for $13 but they retail for $18. So worth it. Look at how big it is! We have heard great things about Morphe and now we can agree!

STILA

Stay All Day Liquid Liner!

This is so pretty and I can't wait to start wearing it for spring. I got this for $13 but it is originally around $20. It is Turquoise and so blue! I love it!

Check out this liner!

LADY MOSS

ACRYLIC 24 ROUND LIPSTICK HOLDER

Check out the Acrylic 24 Round Lip Stick Holder!

Jessica got this lipstick stand that holds all kinds of lipsticks, including drugstore lipsticks! These were on $12 at the show!

ACRYLIC 24 SQUARE LIPSTICK HOLDER

Check out the Acrylic 24 Square Lipstick Holder

Also, because Jessica is a lipstick hoarder she NEEDED to buy a square one as well! These are great and fit nicely on her vanity.

FALSE EYE LASHES!

Check out the KoKo lash collection!

We both bought a big variety of lashes to try out. Jessica did my eyelashes for IMATS and I absolutely loved them. She just used some random lashes I had but I loved the way they looked and the way they made my eyes pop. I will definitely be wearing fake lashes more often.

SIGMA

SIGMAX KABUKI KIT!

I finally bought the kit I have been wanting for forever. Jessica and I love Sigma and are happy to be affiliates with their company. They were so generous and gave out so many great samples. Plus I got this set for 30% off at IMATS. This set includes-

F80 - Flat Kabuki™: Application of liquid or cream products to flat areas of the face such as the forehead and cheeks.

F82 - Round Kabuki™: Blend mineral products onto the skin.

F84 - Angled Kabuki™: Buff cream blush or bronzer onto the skin.

F86 - Tapered Kabuki™: Apply cream and liquid foundations onto the harder to reach contours of the face.

F88 - Flat Angled Kabuki™: Blends foundation easily onto hard to reach areas of the face. Angle fits all areas of the face seamlessly. Works especially well on cheekbones and contours of the nose.

We have a discount code for you if you would like to purchase from SIGMA. It is SPRING2014

I absolutely love this set and can't wait to purchase more brushes!

Check out the SIGMAX Kabuki Kit!

Performance Eyes Kit!
This is the set Jessica had her eye on and she ended up picking it up at IMATS. This set comes with eight brushes and includes-
the E11 - Eye Liner™: Use with gel or cream liner to create detailed and artistic effects.

E16 - Tightline Liner™: Press gel, cream or liquid products onto the upper lash line. Fill in the space between lashes.

E17 - Waterline Liner™: Apply cream or gel liners onto the lower waterline.

E21 - Smudge™: Precise application and smudging of color onto the upper and lower lash lines.

E36 - Blending™: Precise blending of powder products onto small areas of the eye.

E46 - Shader - Inner Corner™: Apply highlight shades onto the inner corner of the eye.

E47 - Shader - Crease™: Application of deep shades onto the crease.

E56 - Shader - Lid™: Controlled application of color onto precise areas of the lid.

TAT2U

I decided to get some lipsticks from a company that I had never heard of. Tat2U has some very bright and fun colors! This one is called Poison-berry. It is a lot darker in the tube than it is when you apply it. It almost looks purple in the packaging but goes on like a pretty red.

Here is a swatch of the lovely color. The first swatch is one of the glosses I purchased from Tat2U. Check out Poison-berry here!

I also got another red color! This one to the left is the Stiletto lipstick.

Check out Stiletto!

Third swatch :)

Eye Kandy

While we were waiting in the Sigma Line we met an amazing girl who we ended up hanging out with the whole day. Her mom worked for Eye Kandy so we decided to check out the booth. We ended up getting three colors from their glitter collection. Toffee, Twizzle Stick, and confetti. It was $30 for three glitters, the liquid sugar, and a brush! I see tutorials in our future!

Check out Eye Kandy Glitter!

Check out our friend Corrina's YouTube channel. She just uploaded her first video! We are so glad we met her at IMATS and will be doing collabs with her in the future so go check our her channel and subscribe! <3

FRENDS Beauty

Jessica bought some beauty blenders. Neither of us have ever owned the original beauty blender, we have always used the off-brand ones. I am excited for her to try them out so she can let me know if they are worth splurging on!

Beauty Blenders!

Cinema Secrets

Brush cleaner

Jessica bought some makeup brush cleaner. This was $30 at IMATS but retails for around $40. She bought the 32 fl.oz bottle.

Check out the Brush Cleaner here!

Eve pearl

Jessica picked up the Dual Salmon concealer because she has been having problems with dark under-eyes due to working so much. She got this salmon toned concealer for around $19.

Check out this Eve Pearl Concealer!

My Nanny Diary. (Haul, Bridesmaid Dresses, and the SHIT STORM)

Hey! I finally have some down-time so I can get some blogs done. This is a quick blog and it goes along with Friday's video! It will include all of the links to the items we hauled and also the story and pictures behind the SHIT STORM. I think our faces tell most of the story but nevertheless, enjoy my adventures in babysitting. Not that I did.

I have been watching Reagan since she was six weeks old and have babysat for numerous families in the past but this was by far the worst experience I have had so far. Basically, while Jessica and I were filming our haul, Reagan was supposed to be napping. However, she woke up and when we went to go check on her- this happened ------> If you read my last nanny diary then you know that Reagan is currently being potty trained. She had a pull up on and took it upon herself to take it off and spread her poop all over EVERYTHING. I had to use a lot of cleaner and Jessica had to bathe her but we got it all cleaned up pretty fast. I guess looking back it was funny, but definitely not at the time. Now lets get to the good stuff, shopping!!

Here is our Haul with live footage from the shit storm. Includes bloopers and such :) Enjoy! Or you can watch it here. Includes stores like Target, Ulta, Apple, Mac, and more!

Links for the items that are available to purchase online!

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping!!!

Our sister Amy is getting married in October so yesterday we went shopping to pick out our dresses. The dress above is the one we settled on. However, it will be in the color champagne. We tried on a few but ultimately decided on the first one we liked. This one is around $140 from David's Bridal. We will be wearing it with cowboy boots! We plan on doing a lot more wedding related videos in our wedding series on YouTube. Like DIY's, vlogs, and more! We posted our dress shopping trip yesterday! Watch it here.
