IMATS TORONTO 2016 Recap, Haul & Battle of the Brushes

IMATS TORONTO 2016 Battle of the Brushes.

Here is some photos and my Haul video from IMATS Toronto 2016.

Quick comments and brands I didn't line up for

Hall A, overflow

Morphe was a 3 to 5-hour wait this year....... The photo above was the line up at 10:30am the bleed into the closed off A section.... it got longer from here. Kat Von D line up was about 40 min in the morning but shortened up quickly.

NYX was 25% off which is good. They have more NYX store in Toronto now and I just wasn't feeling like going because they didn't have their full range of products again this year.

INGLOT they did have 20% off , but next year when I have more money. ;) I'm tempted to pick up their foundation stick in 101... it's the best match out of all these new ones coming out for me. lol

MAC Pro 20%..... and they had the LIPTENSITY lipsticks there.... I was sooo tempted but I was running low on funds.

Violet Voss.... they ran out of stock by noon with exception of their liquid lipstick and highlighter palette. O_o

Lady Moss lipstick tower... 90 sold out before 1pm as well.

Regretting not getting anything during IMATS or what I picked up. NADA. ;)

Here are the haul videos.

Full product list in the video description box of what I hauled.

Makeup Gallery.... Resident Evil

There were more corpses and fake animal carcases.... a little too realistic for me to take photos of. lol

It was soo packed this year I could not really take any photo's at booth.... Mos of these photos is from 4pm on when you can actually see them through the crowds.

End of day

Make Up For Ever sponsor show.

It was a very long day but a fun one! By 5pm when the show closed I wanted to go home but had to wait for my 8pm bus to come in. lol

My feet were dead so I took a short subway to the Eaton Centre and pop into the NYX store they.... Next time for sure I'll spend some time there or at their flagship store, it was really packed!

At Sephora, MUFE had a makeover booth the floor below and performance(s) at the store with a DJ wall night.

I actually wanted to confirm some foundation shade between Inglot, Anastasia, Hourglass and MUFE foundation stick.... None of them really work out of the tube for me. lol

Super was FRESHLY SQUEEZED Match drink because I was more thirsty and run down than anything at that point.
