Vancouver IMATS Experience

July 28, 2013

I just came back today from the Vancouver IMATS and wanted to share my experience and a haul. I went with my friend Yu-Shan who is collaborating wth me on this post! See her comments at the bottom 🙂
The event was held at the Vancouver Convention Center and will be happening tomorrow as well.
Warning: Picture heavy!

Haulage 🙂
Here’s what my friend bought!
Velour Lashes 
Mink eyelashes $20
Style: Got from Momma

Red Cherry Lashes
$2.63 each or $4 something for the fancy one with glitter.

Make Up Forever
Lash Style #23 $15
Full Cover Extreme Camoflage Cream Waterproof #5 $25

Morphe Makeup Brushes
My friend built a palette of fun colors!! The whole set was only $10!
Really proud of her DIY palette.

Crown Brushes
Makeup Cleansing Tissues $5
Italian Badger Collection Brushes

Here’s what I got! I’m still limiting my purchases so I didn’t get too much.
2 Red Cherry lashes
Making up Cleansing Tissues
Crown Royal Kabuki Brush + Double sided Brush

I built my own neutral palette at Morphe Makeup Brushes. The whole thing only costed $10!!!

Really pigmented colors!

See what Yu-Shan had to say about the event!! 

Overall the experience at IMATS was pretty unique! I thought it would be a lot of like… being able to try and test products, and having someone teach how to use the products… but for the exhibitors portion, it was very much like a miniature market place. The one speaker we watched was teaching how to make a fierce fashion show look, with “double brush” techniques. It’s always pretty awesome to hear about how the pros do it, so that was definitely a good demonstration to watch to pick up some makeup application tips! Probably the best part of IMATS was the discounted prices. For example, I basically got a set of lashes and a concealer from Make Up Forever for the price of one concealer at the retail price! Pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
I think I would come back some other year, maybe when I’ve used up all of my products haha, but it was definitely worthwhile!
