IMATS TORONTO 2016 New date and location!
IMATS Toronto 2016 is arriving in October this year from the 1st to the 2nd less than 2 weeks away! There are still have tickets for both days of Saturday and Sunday Shows for $45 and Weekend Ticket Bundle $85 (save $5).

Chances are I'll be arriving at 9:30am on the Saturday just from the way construction is progressing as I'm coming down (while going north ;) ) by Greyhound again. I'm also again regretting that I don't Have a ticket for Sunday just to see the presentation and demos again.

You're getting a bonus post today because I didn't want to wait!

WIG I'll be wearing.
Aurora Borealis from Arda Wigs
I'll be going matching eyeshadow and purple lips this year. ;)
My purchases this year is more mainstream brands and liquid lipsticks.

Who dropped out:
Frends Beauty is a no-show this year which is sad for a number of reasons as they carried their own brand Stilazzi other brands like Viseart Paris, VUESET, Sigma Beauty, Vera Mona and more.

Nigel Beauty Emporium is also gone, so no Lashes, Empty container, industry makeup!

Dose of Colours
They were on the list up till the beginning of September but dropped out. I was excited to try out their line of product in person.

Real Techniques/Styli-Style (Farleyco)
 Not here this year.

Returning Vender that have bigger spots.
NYX Cosmetics is coming back this year with a larger table so I'm crossing my fingers that they are bringing more items. That said on Queen Street where the original MAC Pro Store resided is where NYX Toronto flash ship store is. I'm going to see if I have enough time to run by it. ;)

Inglot makeup is coming this year with the full range of products and double the booth space. ;)

Their both size is the same as last year but they did bring most of their product line last year. ;)

Violet Voss Cosmetics
Booth is the same size as last year so I'm hoping they will bring their eyeshadow and liquid lipsticks as well as their lashes and Glitter from last year.

MUSSTis back with a two table booth, (psst, they had prosthetic transfers for Halloween last year. ;) )

Morphe Brushes
They have 3 x 3 table which will be massive! Again I like to go but there is usually an all day light up and.... yeah. I honestly want to check out their palettes and new Elite II brush collection.

I own a number of the liquid lipstick already (more reviews in the queue) but I want to get their glitter glue maybe a glitter, 1 pack of their lashes and... a few liquid lipstick shades. The second one on the market to do Liquid Lipsticks as well.

Lime Crime is coming! I know all about the scandals that came up (yes they handled the hack poorly but no it was not their fault they were hacked). I have not pursued from them since 2013 so I like to try out their lip products!

LOCATION and Travel
If your not a native to the GTA (Greater Toronto area) I thought I'd post this for you about what to expect getting the the MTCC (Metro Toronto Convention Centre) North Building.

This year we will be on the top floor with windows! The level 300 B Hall which is a little more than half of the floor space that level 300 offers... Room to grow! The floor space is just a tiny bit larger than previous years at the MTCC C Hall.

The North and South buildings are attached by a walk bridge. The North building is street level on Front Street west of the CN Tower and goes vertically in levels and well as 2 sub floors. While the South building is behind it and is underground for the most part except the lobby level (500 Level).

If you going in by public transit chances are you will be making it to Union Station. Union Station, however, is going through some serious renovation both street level and inside (STILL). Front Street seems to open now. For pedestrians/public transit goers, inside Union on the street level is attached to the Skywalk which will take you to both the MTCC North and South builds and beyond (Skydome). This is probably your best way to get there to avoid confusion and it tends to be quite.

You can also walk Front St. east of Union and get to the North building.
MTCC north building highlighted in red.
Here is a posting about road construction areas for drivers to be aware of per week if you coming into the downtown core. 

They did not have a coat cheek the last year at the MTCC. :(


FOOD 
Now places to eat, there are plenty of options around the MTCC as this is considered to be the Entertainment district. Front street has many options on the main level but there are places underground like across the MTCC is the Canadian Broadcasting Building subfloor has a full food court. Union Stations also as a full food court on the level below street level for a cheaper fare.

    1. Honestly the wig helps, Queen of Blending was picking me out of the crowed in years past with the my wigs on. lol

      I'm in a weird position this year because I just got out of school for Web Programming (51 week course, full time days). And slightly broke so I'm asking my family for my B-day money for this. ;)
