I'm a newjack to the whole makeup scene and I just wanted to know if anyone else has ever been to IMATS? And if so, tell me about it so I'll know what I def want to see from other's perspectives.
Yasmin, ahttp://www sorry hun! It happens... But be thankful to see another day. There's always next year. Plus I'm thinking about doing a giveaway for all the goodies I pick up out there. Maybe a cool contest or something. If you win it'll be like you were there :-)
Yup, there is definitely next year. They already have some of the 2012 schedules up so I'm expecting the LA schedule for next year to be up by September. :D
I'm planning on going to IMATS LA! I've been for the last two years and it's kind of hectic and crowded, ESPECIALLY on the first day (Saturday). If you're going to get deals on the makeup and plan to make purchases you definitely need to get there before it opens to get in line to get in. Then you'll have to make a dash for the spots with the deals you want. I know that Make Up For Ever had an hour wait in their line with only having IMATS open to the public for about an hour. It was crazy!
I bought tickets for both days. It is my first IMATS ever, and I'm super excited! The only thing is I bought a ticket for my grandma because I am staying at her house for the week. I have since heard how crazy hectic it is and im worried she wont love it like I will and want to leave. :/
@Maria - no she won't be. Her father just passed away the other day unexpectedly I don't think she'll be making any public appearances anywhere for a while.

For pros to avoid that dash, get a Makeup Mag Pro card and this gives you IMATS priority status.

Jasmine & Yasmin Thank You that's great to know! I'll have to look into that Pro Card
