Toronto Imats 2014 Haul (Picture heavy)

This was my first year going to Imats, after reading a couple blogs I kinda figured what to expect and what to do to prepare myself. I got to the convention centre around 9:15am, the line to get in was moving pretty fast. Inside there were already insane lines for MAC which was 20% off, MUFE which was 40% and Nigel's Emporium which a ton of products. I made a list of things that I wanted but I also ended up getting some Christmas presents here as well for the people  went with. I stayed till 11-ish by that time I was exhausted and I had had my fill. My motivate was to hunt down the booth that sold sigma which was an amazing deal I got two brushes F35 for $11 and F50 for $13 and the Ben Nye Banana powder which was nearly impossible but I did it. Below is my haul of things I got at Imats.

I really enjoyed my experience at Imats and I will definitely go again, its like an adrenaline rush and there is so much to see.  

Some tips for people:

1. Get there early it gets packed fast

2. Make a list if you know what you want, makes it s much fast

3. BRING CASH - I cannot stress this enough

4. Bring water, it gets very hot in there and a bottle of water there cost around $3

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Caramel

I've been eyeballing this concealer for a while now since the very first concealer I got was  great but it was exactly my skin tone which I could have used it like a foundation  . . . sorta.

I've seen many beauty gurus use this none more that Nicole Guerriero and I liked the outcome, plus i really like Nars and I have been using their tinted moisturizer for years now. 

It gives great cover from light to full coverage, product will last a long time and it has an applicator like a lip glass from Mac. 

Overall really happy with my purchase.

Buffalo pick me ups

Cute t-shirt from Loveculture

A couple weeks back I went to Buffalo to do some summer shopping. I've been saving up since school ended. There are a couple stores that we dont have in Canada that I love like Love Culture and Pacsun. I kinda went crazy when we got there. Here are some of the things that I got, I can't wait to wear them this summer.There were a lot of really great deals and the best part there was no tax! I definitely can't find some of these items in Toronto of for the same price. I don't think I plan on doing much more shopping for summer clothes. I think I got enough of everything to satisfy my clothing cravings for now. Thanks for reading

Striped Maxi Dress from Pacsun

Aztec print shorts from Rue 21

Pink acid wash shorts from Loveculture

High waisted shorts from Pacsun

The only piece of jewelry I got from Rue 21 

Strappy Black Bikini

When I saw this bikini online I had to have it. Its so different from other bikinis I've seen. Victoria Secret was a little to expensive for a student on a budget so I went searching for a cheaper alternative.

Lucky me I found the same thing on Ebay for only $9. I was a little bit hesitant because of the price it just seem to go to be true. After some research I decided to take a gamble. 

I order the bikini in small in black. 

It came a lot faster than I thought it would. Online it said it would take up to April 17 to arrive when I ordered it last week, but here it is in my mail box a week and a half later. I'm truely shocked that it took less than to weeks to make it from China.

Its true to the decription and fits really well, cant wait to show it off at the beach.

Taupe by Danier

I love bags and I love getting a great deal. I got this bag 50% off during the Danier winter sale, its usually $200 i got it for $100. 

I lover the colour which is taupe and I've never had a bag this colour before. 

It had beautiful gold embellishments and can be used as either a long strapped shoulder bag or just on the wrist.

One of the best parts about Danier bags is that they are real leather for an affordable price and will last you a long long time. 

Thanks for reading and stay warm!
