The Beauty Premiere: A Marcelle and Annabelle Party!

The Toronto Beauty Bloggers have been waiting for this event for weeks and it had finally come!  Tonights event wasn't your typical sit down and listen to the speaker event but a chic and hip party located at the Toronto Thompson Hotel's Rooftop Lounge.   We were able to get a sneak of the Spring 2012 Collections which I am so excited for!  Check out my pics below of the night for a sneak peak into the collections and all the fun we TOBB's had!

I had been in contact with Isabelle (Social Media & PR Director of Groupe Marcelle Inc) because she needed a makeup artist to do her makeup and hair for the night.  I was lucky enough to glam her up! Isn't she stunning!  (Thank you so much Isabelle for allowing me to do your makeup and hair.  You were wonderful to work for.  I had a fab time at the party!)

I also had the opportunity to Isabelle's colleague makeup as well.  Gorgeous girl!

Annabelle and Marcelle hors d'oeuvres served on a platter!  How cute is that?!

Glitter Liners

Big Show Lipgloss

Swatches of some of the glosses which are non sticky by the way!

Smudge Paints...LOVE these!  I have it in black and it lasts all day long!

These are a must have.  I will do a separate post reviewing these!

BB Creams are all the rage in Asia.  And Marcelle will be introducing it to Canada and launching it this February!  I can't wait!  I used this on Isabelle's face and it is wonderful!

New Mascara I can't wait to test out!

Rubber brush head which is popular these days

Anti-aging skin care

Check this out.  We got to custom make our own lipgloss!  How cool is that?  

These are the colours we got to mix and match

My finished product!  I'll call it "Donna Marie"

Custom made gloss by Lisa Marie (Beauty Crazed)  She calls it "Slutty Beauty Crazed Coral"! Haha!

Tess and Kelly from Glitter Diaries says "Don't mind if I do!"

IMATS Toronto 2011 & Haul

As many of you may know, IMATS 2012 was held last weekend at the Toronto Congress Centre. I had been waiting for this all year and was excited to attend again! I went on the Saturday with my friend Melanie who has begun her fascination in the world of beauty partly due to me being her enabler. Haha! I had also got to meet up with a few fellow Toronto Beauty Bloggers (Elaine from Toronto Beauty Reviews, Arianne aka Glitter Geek , Ande from Make Me Over Ande, Tess from Makeup by Tess, Kelly aka Glitter Diaries) and YouTube Vloggers (Fiona aka fionaman, Jen aka jdomakeup, Joanna aka xJOLE, Sandy aka sanderlees).

Below are pictures of the show.  Sorry they are not of the best quality due to the fact that I had forgotten my camera at home! :(

And if you're wondering if I got what was on my WANT LIST check out my haul at the end!

Tons of lashes at NYX

Hakuhodu Brushes probably the softest brushes ever!  My friend Mel just had to splurge on one!

Crown Brushes

Naked Cosmetics

Cover FX

Pari Beauty

Face Atelier.  Love their foundations!
