Another Toronto IMATS has come and gone. As per usual it was a day filled with vloggers, bloggers and beauty lovers! For the second time the venue was at Toronto Congress Centre which is located in Etobicoke. I got there a little bit later in the morning (around 11) and was shocked at the sheer number of people which was there. I came with a direct game plan and didn't stray away from my budget.
First on my list was bdellium tools! After hearing several bloggers rave about them, I know I had to get a few brushes from the line. Then off to Beauty So Clean and lastly finish off at Face Atelier to see what's new.
This years exhibitor list was much smaller than the earlier IMATS that I have attended.
That didn't stop groves of people from coming out to enjoy the beauty deals and watch the seminars.
Believe it or not, the ATM's on site ALL ran out of money before 2pm!
I was so happy that I traveled with cash.

| If you're squeamish look away! I couldn't leave without taking a picture. It's actually a replica of a full-sized man. It was like 5'10! He even had shoes on!! |
