I'm back with another post! I know you're super excited to see this one. Today I'll be showing my video and pictures of my 2011 New York Makeup Show Haul. I seriously had less than an hour to make all my purchases since I was working the Graftobian Booth all day. I didn't get to visit a lot of booths - Inglot, Stila, Eve Pearl...even though I really wanted to. I just didn't have time! I'll make sure to get them the next time. If you want to see what I picked up, make sure to check this one out! Most of them are items that I consider must-haves.

Every year I save up for these makeup shows. I take a little from each paycheck starting 6 months in advance so that I can have enough money for travel, food and of course most importantly makeup lol. I try not to buy too much makeup throughout the year since I know I can get it all at once and at a deep discount at the show. Here's what I got!
Parian Spirit
This is my favorite brush cleanser of all time, it's totally life changing. I picked up the biggest bottle they had and it's huge! My boyfriend laughed at me lol. But I had been rationing the other size since last year's LA IMATS. I think I spent around $20 to $25 on it and it's totally worth it.
Embryolisse
I always use the Lait Creme moisturizer and Hydramatte on most of my clients. I stocked up! They were having a show special with two full size lait cremes and a travel one, I think it was for $40? I think originally it would be around $64. I also picked up the Hydramatte for $30 when it's originally $37.
Alcone
I had to get another Preo Sectional Lash Curler. It's a must have in my collection. I was borrowing the one from my kit and needed one for myself! Originally $25, they sold it for $20.
Kett
I got the complete set of Ruby and Olive Shades for $80. It was a more than I wanted to spend but my other ones were getting old. I just checked online and on www.camerareadycosmetics.com each trial pack is $31.99 each ...so I definitely over paid. What's up with that!
OCC Makeup
I knew I wanted some of their dark red lip tars. These tars are amazing for photoshoots when you need quick, vibrant color. I wanted some of the deep reds for women of color rocking a pin-up look. I actually ending up picking up all the colors I didn't have so now I have a complete collection! I've twitpiced a few of these lip colors recently, gorgeous! I also had to get my hands on their new OCC Tint - I'm apparently between shades Y3 and Y4. This is a brand new product that debuted at the show. Can't wait to show you all!
Kevyn Aucoin
The blushes were $5! I got all of them plus one shaping and sculpting powder as well as two for a friend. I had to pick up the infamous brow pencil in Brunette (can't remember how much) and the Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX11 which is my color (originally $45 but was $20 at the show). I'm so sad though, my brow pencil somehow got lost in traveling back, what a waste.
Smashbox
Okay I totally went overboard at this stand. Honestly I kind of regret it. What happened was that I only had about 30 minutes to shop and this stand was close-by and didn't have a long line. I knew I need to pick up some gifts for friends and they conveniently had everything in a mini-set which I figured I could split up to make goody bags. Boy, next time I'm not going to make the same mistake! I spent $244.97 and this was after everything was 50% off. Sure it was a good deal but I really went overboard.
Graftobian
I also picked up a boatload of Graftobian stuff...the products I used during my demo I got to keep. I'm really excited about their new Brow palette, the 5 Pan Lipgloss palette, New Ultra Light Cream 5 Pan Foundation Palette, and the Cool blush palette because I didn't have those before. And I picked up some extra awesome items to give away - this includes their HD Makeup DVD (total must watch for artists), corrector palettes and more!
What did you guys pick up at the show, let me know in the comments!

Nice haul! How do you like that brush cleaner compared to MACs? And you totally scored on the blushes. That's amazing that they were all just $5.
