IMATS LA 2013

Hello, hello! Sorry for disappearing (again), I had such a busy couple of months and was also getting sick in between, but I'm back! Last Saturday, I went to IMATS LA, whoo~ And it was actually my first time there, so it was pretty overwhelming because you're basically in a convention center room with thousands of other people, breathing the same air as everyone, brushing against strangers, there's stuff everywhere, and so many things going on all at once. My eyes were literally darting everywhere!

IMATS was a really great experience; although I spent more than I would have thought ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Right when I walked into the IMATS showroom there were half-naked men with washboard abs throwing free make-up brushes into the crowd! I managed to successfully nab myself some (〜￣▽￣)〜  I talked to many amazing people and learned some new make up tips and tricks. I was also so ecstatic that I finally got to meet two of my favorite YouTube bloggers in real life!!! Bunny and Jen were both as cool and nice as they are in their videos~ Discounted make-up, of course was also a huge perk, he he he (ﾉ・㉨・)ﾉ There was this stage area where professional make-up artists do looks on the models. My personal favorite was Roshar! I loved seeing him create a chic extraterrestrial look on one of the models. He had a really bubbly and fun personality which made his presentation even more enjoyable. I wish I remembered to bring my dslr so you can really see how beautiful his look was, but I was in such a rush in the morning to get to the train station (≧０≦) After IMATS, I went to this ice cream parlor called Scoops, which specializes in "unconventional ice cream flavors". I had the jasmine tea + honey flavored ice cream. Jasmine tea and honey is a great combination, and tastes even better as ice cream~

Final thoughts on IMATS: Everyone should definitely go~ Make-up lovers would have such a blast and even if you're not that interested in make-up, I guarantee you would be walking outta there with a couple of things~
