On my recent trip to LA, I attended the IMATS. The exact location was actually in Pasadena, about 20 minutes from LA. When I first arrived, I actually ran into Youtube allstar Kandee Johnson. She was super nice and bubbly, as usual! The convention center was packed with girls, (I saw a couple other youtube girls running around…) and some hard core shoppers. I bought myself a Temtu Airbrush kit, cheap eyelashes and some Beauty Blenders…

I showed up late to the event, so I couldn’t get anything from Makeup Forever unfortunately… which was a  major let down!!!

Compared to the IMATS in Vancouver, the LA show was much busier with people, shoppers and makeup stalls. I really enjoyed myself with all the excitement all around me, but since it was so busy I couldn’t get most of the stuff I was looking for. I only bought tickets to one day because I was obviously visiting from Vancouver and didn’t want to spend both days cooped up in the convention centre while I was in California!

I will definitely go back next year though! California is one of my faves!
