Face of the Day - IMATS Toronto 2017

IMATS makeup is the best - zero rules!  The more highlight, the better.

This is the look that I sported this year to IMATS Toronto 2017.

IMATS Toronto kinda snuck up on us this year, didn't it?

I remember in 2016 it happened in October, but this year it happened in August - but silver lining: no having to lug around a heavy coat!

NYX Sweet Cheeks Blush Palette - Review, Swatches

Beauty blogger problem:  Not being able to play with your new makeup until your photograph it.  So you put it in the "to photograph" box, things pile up on top of it, and next thing you know, you forgot that you owned the makeup in the first place.  Well, that's exactly what happened with this one.

I got the NYX 'Sweet Cheeks' Blush Palette from the NYX After Dark event, after IMATS Toronto (which was in October 2016).

It feels like IMATS New York was ages ago!  But here we are, 6 months later, with another IMATS is upon us.

This time I went on the Saturday afternoon, compared to my first IMATS, where I woke up at the crack of dawn to get into the convention first thing.

I showed you my IMATS New York 'Face of the Day', so now I'm sharing the full IMATS New York experience.

There is no better way to experience IMATS New York, than with fellow makeup lovers.  Myself and my beauty blogger pals braved the lines and made our way into the convention.

What's in my Makeup Bag: IMATS New York

It's almost time for my long-awaited trip to IMATS New York.  This trip has been in the works for a little while, so I'm super excited to go.  In fact, I'm so excited that I actually sat down and filmed a video about it!  This whole "sit down, talk to a camera, and edit the video" thing is very new to me, so hopefully it gets better with practice...starting with a better camera.

Thanks for watching!  Any travel must-haves?  Let me know in the comments below.  Until next time, toodles! - Shawna
