IMATS Sydney! - International Makeup Artists Trade Show

Very delayed post! Hi guys, i decided to go to IMATS this year as i needed to stock up my makeup and use this as an excuse to spend $$$! IMATS is a two day event held in Sydney at the Sydney's convention centre and i went to the first day of the event 21st September 2013. 

Sit in a seminar and get learning!

Makeup is not only about being beautiful, be creative!

Something new! IMATS makeup museum 

IMATS Makeup Haul

If you're deciding to go IMATS i really recommend going on the first day and that 1 day is enough. Also on the second day the best sellers are going to be sold out and they do not restock from what i recall. My friend got this really nice Makeup forever lipstick and three hours later it was sold out! I also hated the fact that Scotty's Makeup displayed products that was not onsite for purchase which defeats the purpose in my opinion and the staff could've been more helpful and happy.

I really think customer service is important and this really what i look for when i decide to buy a product and its the factor that distinguish if i want to be a repeated customer. Like velour lashes, even though they had to ship most of their products out to their customers on the day of IMATS. They had really good customer service, so i didn't mind.

So IMATS this years was cray! i love that they've added new stalls such as Limecrime and Velour Lashes. What was new for me this year was the Makeup museum which i appreciate when you want to get away from the chaos and having the option to buy food within the venue. I also noticed that MakeupMedia setup was way more organised than the last time i went, which i appreciated but the line was still long! WARNING! Makeup lovers can be aggressive!

Defqon 1. 2013

Hi Guys,

I went to my first Defqon 1. Music Festival and i know that this type of festival doesn't really appeal to the mass market but i wanted to go and experience this event. I got to say that i enjoyed it and that the atmosphere was great. The lines for food and drinks weren't long at all, which was great! I felt like people there were there for the music, which was why i thought it was such a great atmosphere.

Tokens to buy food & drinks!

I would say Brennan Heart was the best act

Vogue's Fashion Night Out

David Jones Flower Show 2013 Launch VFNO

We though 1hour turns out 3!

My first time attending Vogue's FNO and i had so much fun! there was a lot happening and a lot of freebies, though the lines were ridiculously long. It was a great event that bought many people to the Sydney CBD especially Westfield. Then again, its just another reason to SHOP!

If you guys have any questions at all please don't hesitate to ask :) & sorry about the photo quality - photos are taken from my iPhone.

Where we stayed :)

MBK

Jim's Thompson House

Tiger Temple

Tiger Temple, where you can get up close and personal with tigers and other farm animals. An extra 1000 baht will get you close to the cute baby cubs! spend half an hour playing, feeding and cuddling these cuties! Since its very hot, its understandable that the animals are tired and lazy.

Round about?

Until next time...
