IMATS ’10 was held again this year in the Pasadena Convention Center. There were a lot of people at the convention this year but it seemed like there were less people there than last year. I went on Saturday to scoop up the best products from the many makeup brands there. A lot of the brands there had their products at a discounted prices up to 40% off like Make Up Forever, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Senna, NYX Cosmetics, and more. Another benefit from attending the show was I got to sign up for professional discounts from brands like Urban Decay, they even gave out a free product just for signing up. I was also able to buy a lot of makeup brushes from Crown with most at about $3-$6 up to $15.

Thank you for making this post, I’ve always been afraid that I would go to a show like this and it would be a waste of time. I will have to go next year.
I don’t have a cosmetology license, could I attend an event like this without one? Some of the shows I’ve wanted to go to required one. Do you have one?
I do not have a license and this show is open to anyone which is the main reason I went because like you said a lot of the other shows require license. It is only $15 for a ticket too.
Thanks for reading! The convention is fun you get to meet a lot of makeup loving people there and I saw quite a few of the popular bloggers there too. They also offer classes on products and makeup techniques. You should definitely check it out next year
Hi Christine! I just wanted to thank you for mentioning IMATS a month ago. I decided to buy my ticket after hearing your experience and went for the first time. It was amazing…so much fun and the classes were great. I saw you there on Saturday too.
OK Kayla I am going next year for sure. that would be fun to see the person who writes the blog I read, were you tempted to say hi? Christine would it have been weird for you if she did or would you have been flattered? I had never thought about it before but I think it would be so cool to meet someone who read something I took the time to post..
That made my day, thank you! I’m glad I was able to interest someone in going. Glad you enjoyed it, it was my second time going this year. I didn’t go to any classes but I think I will have to check those out next year. Say hi if we meet next year
I definitely think it would be cool to meet the readers, thanks to all of you I am able to have all these products to review! I saw quite a few bloggers there myself, it is surreal seeing them in person when I have been watching them online
Sharon you have to go…it was great. I can’t stop thinking about it! It was cool seeing some of the bloggers and youtubers there. I think they like meeting you also so they can put a face to their readers/viewers. Christine if I see you next year I will say hi. I was in line when I saw you and you know how those lines are!!
Who was your favorite blogger, was anyone there where you went “that’s her?” I sometimes think I wonder if they do any camera tricks. LOL
Christine, I am sure you looked the same as you do on video.
I just noticed in the pictures (actually why I am reading blogs at all today) that you have parian brush cleaner, I hate cleaning my brushes, it seems like it takes forever, is that wipe fast and does it actually work?
I have not used the wipe yet but the liquid surprisingly dried instantly. In a demo I saw, a lip brush was completely dry. It almost completely removes the makeup too depending on the size of the brush. I will have a review up soon so keep checking back!
cool
just about every time i accustomed to read more compact posts that as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with this article which I’m reading here.
Congratulations on the growth of your bunesiss! If you need any help, please let me know. I’ve been doing make-up for more than 20 years and started my own make-up freelance bunesiss in 2005. Your work is beautiful! I know Heather is your biggest fan. I have worked with her on several weddings and know how talented she is too! It would be great if we all could work together someday!Best wishes!Jennifer Palermo
