So I've been really busy with school and haven't posted in months, but I'm really gonna try to keep up with this. Finals are this week and after finals, I'm going to try to get at least two posts up a week. Anyways, I decided to go to IMATS this weekend, and for those of you who don't know, IMATS (international makeup artists trade show) is a makeup show that goes around the world (LA, NYC, London, Vancouver, Toronto, and Sydney). It was a three-day event. On Friday, it was for pro's only, and then Saturday and Sunday were open to the public. I decided late last week that I wanted to go so the tickets for Saturday were already sold out. I got my ticket for Sunday for $45. That is the first "con" about this event. In order for me to make me feel like going to IMATS was worth it was that I needed to buy enough stuff to makeup for the ticket. Does that make sense? I honestly do not feel like all of the stuff I bought with the discount was worth the $45 entry ticket. It probably averaged out, if not, I probably ended up paying more money than if I were to buy the stuff outside. Many people go to IMATS for the brands that you don't normally see, but most of the stuff I ended up getting were from Sigma, Crown, Stila, and Bobbi Brown. Granted, the deals I got were amazing, but I just don't think I saved enough to justify going. It was a great experience, and I probably will go again for INGLOT and BHcosmetics, OCC..etc. but just to buy a Bobbi Brown corrector and a Stila eyeliner..I'll pass. I will probably go again because it was really fun to meet/see alot of gurus like eleventhgorgeous, lovemelisamichelle, makeupbytiffanyd, ilikeweylie..etc.
I'll be posting a haul/review of all the things I got at IMATS hopefully in the next two week because these couple days are going to be hectic with finals and projects due. I just wanted to get my honest thoughts up before that haul.
If any of you went to IMATS, I wanna know your experience and thoughts on it!
