The IMATS Toronto Experience 2011

Oh my, what a experience IMATS was this year...

2011 was the first year I was able to enjoy IMATS. Our day started out in the wrong direction, literally. Thinking that IMATS would be held at the Convention Center in Toronto that's where we headed at 9am. Once we got on the subway, we found that the subway was not running from Bloor to Union, so we were forced to get off and take a shuttle the rest of the way. Once we finally got to the convention center we realized IMATS was not there. My dumb ass took everyone to the wrong place!! It was being held at the congress center, much closer to home. (Go me!! Woot. lol.)

After realizing my tragic but kinda funny/frustrating mistake we headed back on the shuttle, subway, and highway to our real destination. Once we finally arrived at IMATS I was over joyed to see all the beautiful artistry, and products. I was also surprised to see that it was a lot smaller then the Hair Show. I also found a lot staple companies missing, that I had assumed would be there.

In my first 15 minutes of being there I had basically spent all my money. What a dangerous thing, and lesson learned. Save much further ahead next year. lol. Among the first booths I saw were MAC, Makeup Forever, Crown Brushes, NYX, NARS, & OCC.

Hair Show Haul!!

Sorry this post is so late. Better late then never I guess. (:/) Oh well, it's only been a week. Either way, last Monday the ABA held the annual Hair Show in Toronto. :) My sister and I attended as we have done for a few years now.

One of the greatest things about attending the hair show is some of the great deals you can find. They have a lot of cool stuff, that disappear at a rapid rate. I really didn't get too much makeup this year simply because of the line and how disorganized it was. (Word of advice/little vent: If you are in a huge line, please don't let 5 of your friends stand in line with you. It sound petty, but if you were there you would understand. :/)

Besides that I had a awesome time, and enjoy the items I purchased and have used so far.

I have pix & swatches below. Here's what I managed to find...

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! So the day finally came for the Hair Show. Every year my sister, Amanda and I head down to the convention center to check out what the hair and all around beauty show has to offer.

I am hoping to post a blog later on today/tomorrow about my Hair Show Haul. :)
