IMATS 2012 -- Haul, Thoughts and Swatches

Katy Temmuz 13, 2021

This Saturday, Tod and I made our way to Beauty Mecca -- well, Toronto version, as I think the goal is to get to New York or LA. I can't even let myself dream about that just yet.

A couple things about IMATS Toronto...

The TTC most certainly does not go directly to the Toronto Congress Centre, no matter what it tells you. The walk from the bus isn't all that bad though.
Don't go early. I accidentally kept Tod up late the night before and couldn't get her to wake up, but that turned out to be a blessing, as we managed to avoid the crazy registration lines.
People are shockingly nice when it comes to crowding. Yes, they crowd, they take wayyyy too long to swatch, but they'll move if you ask nicely. I even had a woman mix me a lip colour while we were waiting to get our orders filled at OCC.
Eve Pearl looks much younger in person than she does on camera.
There are some truly awful brush booths.
Z-palettes were conspicuously absent!
