Hello, I returned home from a fabulous weekend in Los Angeles. I was most excited about my first IMATS experience in Pasadena and it was bigger and better than I had imagined it to be. I was like a kid in a gigantic toy store. There were so many brands to explore, but so little time. I went on Sunday and I had less than three hours to cruise through all the aisles at the event before heading home. My only regret was not having more time, but it was not an epic fail. I spotted many new brands and spent more time at those brands that are not accessible to me at home.
Some of the brands that really impressed me include Eve Pearl, Cinema Secrets, and Senna Cosmetics. I love that I got to touch and try the products before buying at a discount at the event. I would say all the brands sold their products with deep discount, IMATS is a very good place to stock up on all your wants and needs. It was also interesting to see the different techniques used in the live makeup demonstrations.
When in LA, I ate a lot of good food.

Lastly, shopping at Kitson on Robertson was icing on the cake...I look forward to attending IMATS again in the future, it is a must see for die hard makeup fans.
Thanks for stopping by! Until next post......
