Beauty Vixen

It's that time of year again....IMATS is coming to Toronto and I have a list.

I am not going to stick to this list at all, I can just feel it. So for now here is what I definitely want.

Beauty Blender Mini
I want these. That is about it. I love my Beauty Blenders....love them. You cannot take them away from me. I have 3 already plus two Real Technique Sponges so I think I am OK in that department, but they just had to release something new. I want the minis so bad for under my eyes and any concealing that I need to do. I usually buy my Beauty Blenders at Imats or in the USA just because they are far to expensive here at Sephora.
I also want another solid cleaner by them, hopefully they have a nice combo set.

Beauty So Clean
Last year I picked up the spray fro cleaning my makeup, and while I use it a lot I still have quite a bit. What I am out of is the brush cleaner. I really liked the scented sprays that I've gotten in the past and hope to get some more.

Eyelashes
Last year I got some great unboxed lashes at Nigels and want more. I remember it was quite the search to find some styles I liked but I really did like them. Maybe the best lashes I've ever used (I like clear banded lashes).

Clean Brush Shampoo
Another solid brush shampoo...while not Beauty Blenders, I have heard great things and want to try it out. I was thinking of getting the goats milk or olive oil version. I have been known to use either goats milk or olive oil bars of soap to clean my brushes without stripping them so these sound right up my ally.

Parian Sprit
Last year all I could find was a tiny tiny bottle, but I want a big one with the jar for cleaning. I will settle for another tiny one since it works so darn well.

Brushes
I am a brush fiend...it is true. I think I have 250 brushes at this point. Last year I picked up some Bdellium Tools for the first time and fell in love. I want more. More I say. Ok must calm down and limit my purchases at that booth. But let us be honest, there is no way I am leaving without at least something.
I also will most likely be going a little crazy at Crown Brushes' booth. I've been purchasing crown brushes for over 9 years now and really thing the best way to pick ones out is at the show. You get to feel them out and see what suits you. The duo fibre brushes are always fantastic.

That's it...hopefully. Is there anything on your Imats list?

Imats is going to be in Toronto November 22nd and 23rd this year, for more info go to Imats.net

You may have heard that Muji is coming to Canada. In fact it opens next month in downtown Toronto.  I am incredibly excited about this as I already have a muji acrylic system and love it. I want more though and knowing there is going to be a store here soon is fantastic...so I'm planning my list already.

First off...what I have:
I have  6 drawer acrylic eyeglass holder that I use for pencils and brow products as well as eye primers. It works great and I love it but I want the 4 drawer unit or another one so I can keep my mascaras and my lip liners in it too.
The 5 drawer unit and the 2 drawer unit with hinged top are also items I have. The two drawer is a must if you have Mac Paint Pots/Fluidlines.
While the system works great I do plan on getting another 5 drawer unit just so I can keep more of my everyday items in it.

Moving on to some other items.
I want to get whatever sizes I need of the PP Boxes to create what you see below. I don't know what sizes they are at all...but I want a set up like this.
I think I need a tall divided one for many of my brushes....I think they might finally have a real home out side Dollarama vases with bead filling in them.
Additionally I want what is on the left, whatever they are so I can keep my skin care and the makeup I need for the day in a place other than an old Glossybox.
I'm very excite to see them in person so I can figure out exactly what I need.
I'm not sure if I really want these or not, but they look so  cute....toothbrush holders.
Randomness for my kitchen...these divided porcelain plates. I have no clue what size would be best for my life, but I want them.
Finally some more random selections.
I always spill my drinks, so a coster with a lip might help.
Cotton pads for your eyes so you can make your own eye masks...yes please.
A cute little tea pot. They have many tea pots but this one is so cute. Did I ever tell you I have a tea pot collection? People just kept on buying me them or sending them to me...now I have a big collection.
Travel refill set. This helps you fill all your travel bottles.
Cat shaped post-it notes....who doesn't need that?
Checklist stamper...makes any paper into a checklist.
Ok so those are all the Muji things I am currently craving. I cannot wait to shop a real store and just see what neat things they have.

It has sure been a while since I've had a wish list, but right now I really really want some things.

 NYX The Curve. While my local Rexall has NYX and quite a big display, they don't have this line. I keep on hearing how fantastic it is and how it makes doing a winged eye look effortless.

The Balm Meet Matt(e) Nude. I've grown weary of my shimmery or satin shadows having a massive amount of fall out at work throughout the day. Every single work day I end up with makeup under my eyes….I figured mattes would at least not be as obvious and just not lead to shimmer under my eyes I can't clean up. I've only heard good things about the Meet Matt(e) palette and it is now officially on my radar.

Benefit They're Real Line. Oh my oh my this is an innovative liner. I have only heard good things and now seen how great it looks on other people that I really really want it.

L'oreal Voluminus Miss Magna in Turquoise. This one is limited edition, I have the black and purple but I really want this green one. As soon as I spot it in my local store I am buying it and the waterproof version.

L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream in Anti-Redness. I love the regular BB version of this, but one with a green hue that corrects redness seems too intriguing to resist. Oh I really want this.

 Eco-Tools Skin Perfecting Brush. I have just seen so many amazing reviews on this brush. I personally love all my Eco-tools brushes and I am sure I'm join got love this one too.

 Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I keep on seeing and hearing about this sponge. Man I want it! I love my beauty blenders but I still want this.

Is there any of these items you want to check out? What are adding to your wishlists?

So I've kinda been on a no buy lately, and by that I mean I seem to have really curbed my spending. I'm still buying bits here and there but no hauls to speak of.

Which is odd for me. I really want things too, I just can't bring myself to bring more stuff into the apartment right now. I am just plain old running out of space.

But this doesn't mean I don't want stuff, oh how I want stuff. See this is how I got into this too much stuff predicaments, I don't need stuff, I want it...sigh..oh well. Plus I keep on calling it "stuff'' and not buy its real name, so I really just proved I have issues.

Oh well (again) this is what I am dreaming of right now...

Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF 50.
This one is a big one on my list. I've heard amazing things about it (not greasy, light feeling, works well with makeup), plus it has spf 50 in broad spectrum protection. I realized almost all skin care only covers UVB rays and it is just as important that you protect yourself from the UVA rays out there...so yeah I kinda want this, now!

Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer spf 30
This would also take care of my spf woes. It not only is a great primer it evens out skin tone and is a skin treatment. Primes, protects, evens out the skin and is good for it...what more could you ask for.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable

These are not in Canada yet (boo) but I want them. I love Tarte's sticks (dispute the fact all my lids cracked) and the thought of a drug store dupe makes me happy. I can afford to get more, and in more colours, woot woot. I actually still have some of the first just bitten roll ons from back in 08 and still use them from time to time, so I am a fan of the line already.

Brush Guards
The fab ms. Sparkled Beauty spoke about these in a  recent blog, they are from buyincoins.com and cost under $2 a set. I have so many brushes real brand named brush guards are not an option, but some extras for $2 is definitely in order.

Rose Gold Watch

Why in the world would I want a watch? I'm really not sure, I've never ever been a watch type of gal, but now I want a big chunky rose gold watch. With my dinky wrists it makes no sense, still I am stalking ebay in search of one with a time display that is cheap (I mean I probably think this was a bad idea once I get one).
