IMATS London 2013

IMATS London Sunday 23rd June 2013

So i had an amazing opportunity to attend this years IMATS in London on Sunday the 23rd of June. I should first explain IMATS is the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show, - for people who have been living in a different planet and not know what all the hype is about IMATS runs over three days in six different countries, the first night is for pro card holder and the exhibitors only, the second and third days are open to the public to buy tickets. IMATS is a chance for artists or people interested in make-up to stock up on essentials or get a chance to try out new products or equipment  but mostly its a chance to see great shows on stage of other make-up artists work. So it was my very first IMATS show and  i was very skeptical about what to expect and what discounts would be available. To my astonishment the deals were really good especial NARS who's products was flying out of the booth and i made sure i was not going to pass that one up. I decided to pick up a get the look bag for an amazing £20.00 knowing a blusher alone was retailed at £21.00 definitely my steel of the day. so yes the products was amazing and i did splash out a bit but who wouldn't with all the exceptional prices and great products not forgetting the amazing shows that was on stage throughout the day.
