The doors opened at 8:30AM, and we chose to wait in line at 6:45am. There were several coffee shops within 5 minutes walking from the venue which made the morning much easier. The Sheraton Pasadena is literally next door to the venue as well, so choosing to stay there made everything very convenient. The line was incredibly long before the show, so if you attend, I would recommend getting there early to avoid waiting in lines for a majority of the day. We were able to go to Sigma and Makeup Geek first to avoid the chaotic lines that began to form (and they were VERY long). We then began to check out the other booths. After about an hour lines began to become very long. Nicole Guerriero and Jaclyn Hill were booth having a meet and greet at the Million Dollar Tan Booth, so my cousin, mom, and I all took turns waiting in lines so that we could all shop and be the first in line for the meet and greet. Both girls were amazingly nice and so beautiful in person. In between their meet and greets we grabbed lunch, met EleventhGorgeous and continued to shop! We spent the rest of our day checking out booths that didn't have a line, and left around 3:30 that day. I will definitely be attending next year. Here are the items I picked up, and a few pictures I took!
Sigma F80- $14.70 (reg. $21)
Sigma F40- $13.30 (reg. $19)
Sigma F30- $16.80 (reg. $24)
Sigma E40- $9.80 (reg. $14)
Sigma Enlighten Eye Liner- $6.30 (reg. $9)
Then we went to Makeup Geek. I picked up five eyeshadows: Shimma Shimma, Creme Brulee, Frappe, Last Dance, and Prom Night). They were $5 each (reg. $5.99). I also grabbed three pigments: Nightlife, Utopia, and Afterglow. These were $6 each (reg. $6.99). I then grabbed a Z Palette at Frends for $15 (reg. $20).
My Inglot purchase was my last stop for the day and I picked up four eyeshadows. Inglot was offering 30% and no tax. Each of the eyeshadows ended up being $5 each. I picked up the colors: 154, 329, 335, and 423.
At BH Cosmetics they didn't have a set percentage off for their products, but I grabbed:
That's Heart Palette- $10
BH San Fransisco Palette- $5
10 Color Glamorous Blush Palette- $10
BH Eye and Lip Makeup Remover-$3
I also picked up a few random items from different booths such as the:
Ben Nye Banana Powder (.92 oz)- $9 (reg. price varies)
Ardell Lash Glue- 2 for $5 (reg. $3.99)
China Glaze Nail Polish- 8 for $20 (reg. $7.50 each at Ulta)
My cousin, Jessica (JessAzevedo7), and I attended a Blogger Event hosted by Crown Brush on the Friday before IMATS. They were generous enough to give us an Infinity Brush Set, Tweezers, an Eyelash Curler, and a Flawless Face Blender.
Since I attended their event the night before, they offered all attendees an extra 40% off their purchase so I picked up a few extra brushes. I do not remember the exact prices, but they ranged from $2-$5 before the 40% off.
*All items were paid for by myself except for the brushes I received at the Crown Blogger Event :)
I also met a lot of amazing YouTubers :) From left to right: Ingrid, Tracy & Stefanie, Jaclyn Hill, Nicole Guerriero, Alli, and Emily Noel!
