IMATS TORONTO 2014 Recap and Haul (w/ CRC Makeup )

IMATS Toronto 2014 Battle of the Brushes

Better late then never, I decided to do a Video Haul this year. Because A) I finally got a new camera and B) I need the practise and I want to start doing makeup and character tutorials.

Bellow are my video haul broken up into 2 smaller videos and photo's from the show.

Madeline Hatter: Stripped curly heavy high updo ponytail using wig pieces, metal structure & foam - Arda Wigs Tutorial

Madeline Hatter Legacy Day outfit Cosplay from Ever After High. Photo was taken by Herbiecidez Photography 

This character has a high lopsided ponytail that needs an internal structure to ensure that it stays upright. Updo wigs usually need to be resized for a person's head so in my case I will show you how to expand a wig that is too small for my head.

I also built this wig in two sitting, but I did pre-make the support structures first a few weeks before while working on other parts of the costume. The pre-styled piece really does help to speed up a styling process.

This post is also in conjunctions with the new Arda Wigs Canada store launch!!! They're doing Canadian Conventions rounds, so expect them to also show up near you to purchase in person.

Maybelline Fit Me Hydrate + Smooth Foundation in 110: Swatches & Review

PURCHASED

Maybelline Fit Me Fit Me Hydrate + Smooth Foundation in 110

Retails for $8.99US and $9.99CAN at Walmart. In fact I didn't know they made a 110 shade until I found it Walmart because they don't stock in durgstore in Ontario at least. They always stopped at 115 at Rexall and Shoppers. They just recently renamed this product with the Dewy + Smooth tag line on the new packaging bottle but it's the same old product. ;)

WARPAINT & Unicorns Favourites of 2014!

This is my run down of favourites that I have posted a review during the 2014 year.

I'm not going to stick to "categories" as I don't really covered all the areas in beauty all the time and this year I'm also sticking to permanent products or products you can still get. There is usually one exception to this with my new formula category and they are sometime re-promoted but not permanent (but not this year ;) ).
