Going to the International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS) in Toronto has become a tradition for me.  For those you don't know what IMATS is, it is a trade show for makeup artist and industry but it's open to public.  Vendors at show will showcase their services and products, usually be at a discount.  IMATS also have seminars where makeup pros provide education and demonstrations to show goers.

It is indeed a makeup enthusiasts heaven where you can get industry discount and also learn more about the makeup industry.  For my first IMATS, I was completely overwhelmed and got "I-have-to-get-everything" mentality.  This year, I browse around, learning about new products brands have to offer and look at the makeup work of artists of different booths.  Their work of art is truly amazing and I admire their creativity.

One major mission that I always have is to shop for what I want/need.  This year is no different.  I met up with Jessica, Stacey and Steph again to get our shopping done.  Here's what I got...

The World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14 has just wrapped up, and it would still be a little while before we start embracing the 2014 Spring and Summer trends.  However, there was one special show on day 4 of WMCFW that we can all dive right into—Target Holiday 2013.  Let's back up a little and talk about the preparation right before the show.

It's finally here.  Benefit is partnering exclusively with Sephora and bringing their famous Benefit Brow Bar to Canada.  I was invited along with other media to go to the grand opening of their location in Sephora at Yorkdale Shopping Centre and check out what the Brow Bar is all about.

The Benefit Brow Bar offers a few brow shaping and facial waxing services, each take about 20-30 minutes.  The Canadian Benefit Brow Bar are currently only located inside 3 Sephoras: Dix 30 in Brossard, Sherway Gardens in Toronto, and Yorkdale in Toronto as well.  Each brow bar has two arch experts who are highly trained in waxing and tweezing to give their customers their unique brow shaping experience.

The 2013 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is on full swing right now!  We have spotted celebrities like Zac Efron, Brad Pitt, Jesse Eisenberg, and Hugh Jackman (sorry for the all male list but you get the pattern :P).  The list just goes on and on but the entire city is full of life and exciting things.




One of the hot spot at TIFF this year, beside the movies, is the L'Oréal Paris Red Carpet Lounge at David Pecaut Square, located right next to the TIFF red carpet near the Roy Thomson Hall.  This pop up Beauty Lounge is only going to be here in Toronto for a limited time (from September 5-14, 2013; Mon-Fri 4-10 pm & Sat-Sun 10 am-10 pm).  It is a perfect place for event goers to get pampered (hair, lips or nails) and have some fun, as well as checking out the limited edition L'Oréal Paris Collection Privée (and get a product sample yourself), which is the official beauty collection for TIFF this year.
