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.

The IMATS 2010 Experience
(If you post this picture on your site, We only ask that you credit us for taking this picture)
(The makeup Artist is Tuesday Coren and she won the Alice Theme Competition. We currently don't know the name of the model.)
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.

IMATS LA
Makeup Technique will be going to this years IMATS. I'll be sure to post updates of the days fun and deals.
H&M Polishes Review, Photos + Swatches
I saw swatches online and I decided I had to get 'Bella's Choice' which is a bright teal creme. I find alot of pastel or 'bright' blue, greens and teal are too dusty for my taste or neon. I final found it in my local H&M and it looked pretty in the bottle as well.
Nail Polish Rant- review & photos
After China Glaze the Up and Away I fell back in love with nail polish.I'm obsessed with creme nail polishes. I love the spring/summer nail trends. Pinky corals, pastels, mint greens and blues teals make me happy:) I bought Heli-Yum, Sugar High, Something Sweet,Re-Fresh Mint, and Happy Go Lucky
(left to right). My favorite originally was Sugar High, it is a bright pink with a coral undertone. It was a little too coral for my skin tone(I'm very pale with yellow undertones). But I tried it on my cousin(tan skin) amazing! It looked like it should be bright beautiful young summery pink. My favorite now is Heli-Yum it's a raspberry red. It reads like a soft red on my skin and I love it. Re-Fresh mint is also lovely light minty green. I mainly use it on the tips as a colored french. Happy Go Lucky is bright yellow. I plan to use it more in the summer, currently I feel like softer colors. Something Sweet is the cool tone light pink almost a lilac. Not really my favorite.
