The venue was at the same place as last year Toronto Congress Centre but the venue layout was in a different hall.This year I attended on Saturday. Totally a bad move for me because it was hard to fit all the excitement in eight hours. Next year I will devote a day totally to shopping and another to seminars. Similar to what I did last year!
After shopping for one hour I went to the Royal & Langnickel Press event! The event combined of a few of my favorite things Kevin James Bennett, makeup and Manicures via Wright Spa.
I love Royal & Langnickel brushes! I think they're the softest most versatile synthetic brushes on the market.
We were given a run down of the brand. Then given time to try out the brushes! I swear I could play with those brushes ALL day.

Here is a good picture to show you the venue. Look at how crowded it is. Can you believe I took this picture at 10:15 am. Less than two hours since the doors opened. Amazing!
Alicia from Funny Face Beauty told me that Sunday was calmer and easier to move around.
Again note to self: GO BOTH DAYS!
One of the biggest attractions was the NYX booth.
So much variety and the ladies there were very helpful.
Some ladies spent three hours in line for some goodies!
One of the NYX lines went past the Crown brushes booth.
Every year I attend a Kevin James Bennett session.
Saturday's topic was Runway Refined.
