NYC trip and makeup wishlist

I received an email early last month from Makeup Forever saying that they were offering complimentary classes durring the weekends in February to Pro members at their NYC and LA studios.  Uhh, YES PLEASE!!  Living in Baltimore, the obvious choice for me is the NYC studio so I'm planning a trip with my BFF so that I can attend some of these fabulous classes the last week in February.  I'm only planning on taking the two classes on Saturday (which I am on a waiting list for because slowpoke Amanda decided to wait until the last minute to register) so I'll want to do some shopping while I'm up there.  I know I'm obviously going to restock on some products from Makeup Forever, I'll be visiting MAC Pro and I want to check out Inglot.  Now I just need some suggestions.  Below I've listed the products I'm definitely going to check out and probably purchase.


MAC PRO
  • Glitters - Obviously because what would a trip to MAC Pro be without glitter...I have my heart set on Reflects Gold and Reflects 3D Silver
  • Full Coverage Foundation - Same as the studio finish concealer, just in a much bigger quantity and for less money per oz.
  • Chromographic Pencils - red, black, white, and NC15 - These are supposed to be fantastic waterproof pencils and I'm always on the lookout for a super inky black
  • PRO Blushes - Particularly Cantaloup and Devil
  • Fleshpot Lipstick - who doesn't need more nude?
  • Eyeliner Mixing Medium - I love using eyeshadow as eyeliner...wouldn't it be great if I could turn sketch into a liquid liner though?
  • Mixing Pallet and Spatula - I've been using an artist pallet and clay sculpting knives that I got at Michaels.  I should really step it up
  • Sculpting Powder - Can Sculpt replace my Hoola bronzer as my contour?  We'll see...
  • Shaping Powder - I'm white, I need a whiter highlight.  Maybe one that's not quite as shimmery.  
  • Chromaline - More colors than Fluidlines.  Possibly longer wearing.  
  • Lip Mix - Potentially make any lip gloss imaginable.  The artist in me really wants to play around!
MUFE
  • Flash Color Pallet - Great for bases, fabulous for mixing with concealer to make correctors.  
  • HD Finishing Powder - this has been a coveted product for me for a long time
  • Face and Body Foundation - Kind of already part of my everyday routine...I feel like I should stock up
  • Smoky Lash Mascara - just time to get another one.  I love this stuff a little better when it dries out.  I know it's kind of icky, but I'm still using the original one I bought months ago.
  • Lipsticks - I hear these are supposed to be better than MAC's
  • Aqua Eyes - Again, who's got the best black.  I'm also interested in trying a pearl shade for the waterline
  • Eyeshadows - The selection in my Sephora always looks kind of gross and not well cared for.  I really like the shadows that I have but I feel like there's more out there for me
  • Diamond Powders - How do they stack up against MAC glitters?  
  • Lashes - My favorite.  I want to be inspired by the theatrical lashes they have to offer

As for Inglot, I obviously want to check out the eyeshadows but I haven't had much exposure to the brand at all.  I'll really need suggestions here. 

Anyway, I'm currently lusting after some other products that I'll probably purchase before the trip because they're being released in collections shortly.  I just placed an order at MAC pro for some things that I want to guarantee I get before they sell out as well as some products I was sure I'd be purchasing in NYC just for the hell of it.  **be on the look out for a haul**

So now I need some suggestions.  Have you used any of the products on my wish list?  Were they worth it?  What else do I need to be sure to look at?  What can I definitely leave?  HELP!!!  It's overwhelming.  

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures while I'm there and you can probably expect a massive haul shortly after that trip.  I'm also planning on going to IMATS in April but more on that later.

  1. This sounds like an amazing trip. Debbick1 has done some great Inglot reviews on youtube, you should check them out! I've heard lots of people rave about the MUFE finishing powder but I love my IT cosmetics one and I have heard it's very similar and perhaps even better. Good luck and have an amazing time :)
