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!

 

Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist Eve Pearl


Me (looking like a midget) with Mabel & Angela owners of Velour Lashes which are made of Mink fur.  These girls were so sweet.  And they are a Canadian company too!  


Sitting in on Koren's (aka Enkoremakeup) class



Koren's model Tess (aka Makeup by Tess) who you may have remembered as the my model for O2B2


The final look.  Vibrant and Gorgeous!

    Awesome haul! The MUFE Flash palette is a great price! I've always thought about getting it but I don't use much bright colours for work. Guess it's good for mixing though and obviously for fashion work. I got the Cozzette Vessel from Alcone for $13 and the ZPalette (for a friend) for $16 from Nigel's. Where did you get yours from? I was searching for the Parian brush cleanser - where did you get it at?

    OMG dont tell me that! :( Got Cozzette from Kett booth and ZPalette from Alcone. Parian brush cleanser was at Alcone but I emailed them a few days before IMATS to bring me a bottle cause I knew they weren't going to have any in stock. They actually had some at the Kett booth but smaller bottles. We need to push Alcone to carry them next year!

    Trust me I had a few disappointments with different pricing :( Now we have to compare prices from each booth before purchasing. Oh well guess that's how they have to be competitive. That's good you emailed Alcone before hand! I didn't think about doing that!

    They should put the makeup supply stores side by side! haha And for next year I'm so not going to Crown...it's all about Bdellium! :)

    @Janella thanks! Can't wait for next year too. Although, I think next year will be all about tools and supplies and less makeup.

    @Kelly I haven't played with the palette yet but excited to when I get the chance!
