I've begun my plan of attack, I mean checklist:
Of course the more popular brands Make Up Forever, Cover FX, Face atelier, etc...But I can't wait to play with Kryolan, Ben Nye, Eve Pearl, Crown Brushes (very popular), Joe Blasco (used to be sold at Pir Cosmetics here in Toronto, not sure where its sold currently), and much more! I'm also planning on meeting up with a few Toronto beauty bloggers so fun is on the top of the list!
Have any of you been to IMATS in the past? Share some tips or comments! Or are any of you planning on attending the IMATS Toronto? Let me know!
