Is there really not an IMATS topic already?! Maybe there is and I missed it- if there is I'm sorry! But I love IMATS! I've never been... but I want to go every year. Ahah. I'm FOR SURE going next year. But if you've gone this year or previous years share your experience and any pictures you have!!!
IMATS was AMAZING. You must go next year! Not only are the sales amazing, but you can meet all of your youtube and beautylish friends in person! I suggest creating a shopping list ahead of time and making those your first purchases and then going back to the booths after you've bbought what you came for to make impulse purchases. PRIORITIZE. Go on Saturday morning because by 1pm Inglot had run out of most of their lipsticks and Urban Decay was out of like everything! Take advantage of NYX's sales because those were crazy! If you can, bring a credit card because MAC, Benefit, and I think Make Up For Ever only accepted a card. See you there! If you go to the LA one (which will be in January 2013, not June) contact me and maybe we can meet up!
That's awesome!!!! :) Thanks for all the info! Hopefully I can make it to the January one and save up to buy some awesome stuff :P It all seems so exciting!
IMATS London will be far better in 2013 since they switched the dates with Los Angeles. London 2012 was literally, the COLDEST I have ever been, in my life. The snow and ice prevented lots of people from getting up the hill to the location where the event was held, thus the attendance was relatively low. Still good overall, but 2013 will be far better!
IMATS LA was just held, and it was amazingly packed. We're getting ready to head to IMATS Vancouver in a couple of weeks too!
