IMATS 2011 EXPERIENCE!!!
I went to IMATS Toronto this past Sunday and had a blast! I took my younger sister; Skye and we had the best time! We met Koren Zander of Enkore makeup Fame, we saw Elessa Jade of PurseBuzz, Bought everything and ate french fries like Bosses.
We arrived to the Toronto Congress Centre at about 9:35 a.m, and were able to Purchase our tickets Immediately, we joined a short line and were let into the show at about 9:48. I was very surprised and delighted. I've never been to any sort of "Convention" where it's so well handled, and so easy for the attendees to get in and out without complaint. The Centre was very clean, as were the bathrooms (FINALLY!!!), and as far as I know; the ATM did not run out of Cash!
As soon as we were let in, almost everyone rushed over to the NYX booth; I could see why, amazing quality for even amazing-er prices! To my dear Skye's dismay they were almost completely sold out of their soft matte lip cream's I had heard so much about, so she purchased a burgundy-red colour in the lip cream as well as a foundation and an eyebrow pencil; I bought: eyeshadows and bronzer, lip laquer and eyeliner, lip liner, nail varnish, eyeshadow base, makeup removing cleansing oil, false lashes and an eyebrow pencil.
After we left NYX we ventured over to Crown Brush (imho: the best brush company ever!) and bought, bought, bought, purchased, at least 4 times throughout the day; many, many brushes, brush cleaner, cotton pads, an eyeshadow palette (from Jordane), and Single Use Spatula's!
We went over to peruse: NARS who were selling at normal price, Naked Cosmetics who have the neatest mineral shadows and cosmetics, eye kandy glitters, LA Splash Cosmetics (I bought their eyeshadow sealer--it's freakin' amazing!), and a few others.
Then we went to see the O.C.C booth, and the beautiful Lip Tar's. We tested them all, then purchased Hoochie for myself: which is this awesome intense lavendery magenta shade. and Skye purchased NSFW: which is a very true red.
We also visited Royal and LangNickel brush Co. to purchase a few of their brushes, and Bdellium Tools to pick up a few more! One can never have too many brushes. I now have a bajillion brushes, well 32 to be exact.
Model In a Bottle was one of our final stops for the day, Unfortunately their debit machine got busted in Transit, so I called The Best Boyfriend in the World! and he came to bring me some cash. I purchased their sensitive skin formula setting spray and I must say so far I am very impressed!
Overall we had a great day at IMATS and I will for sure be attending other years!

Coconut Oil To The Rescue!
I heard somewhere that every 7 years your body chemistry changes, which could hold some truth. Some have no allergies and then all of a sudden are burdened with an assortment of allergies, I decided to research this, and found extremely mixed results. This leads me to believe that this "7 year" phenomena is partially truthful.
My poor skin is suffering! my skin has always been sensitive and fairly dry; especially in the winter/late fall. This year my Skin is extremely parched, worse than desert terrain! It hurts without multiple moisturizing products, and putting on my foundation is an extremely painful endeavor!
My mum has eczema on her hands, BAD! so we always have über moisturizing products in the house. This morning in particular; I was beside myself! The sahara-like conditions of my skin were way too much to bear, so I took to the Coconut Oil, and slathered it all over my face and decollete area--Boy was I pleased, I smell like delicious treats, and my skin is happy for the first time in weeks!
You can purchase a massive jar of Coconut Oil at any health food or Bulk store, I believe this particular one came from a Shopper's Drug Mart.
Stay Happy and Healthy

Benefit High Beam-Favorite product Review!
So I was wracking my brain trying to come up with something to post about today, It's my day off-and it seemed appropriate that I write a new blog post. I have been so excited and pre-occupied with IMATS, that it has been tricky to update.
I figured it was time to write a review of Benefit's High Beam, I've had it for months; I still have half a bottle and I use it everyday! This product is amazing, It's perfectly shimmery and it has an amazing creamy consistency. Benefit says ...
"Why we love it
Our satiny pink liquid highlighter accents cheek & brow bones
for a radiant glow. Use as a spot highlighter or delicately blend all
over your complexion. Looks perfectly radiant on all skintones. It's the
"supermodel in a bottle!""
I love it, you only need the smallest amount-I use two dabs on my cheek bones and then pat/rub it in, the glow that it gives me takes the place of a mini Tahitian vacation for my complexion! Now don't get me wrong it isn't a tanner, and it doesn't make me darker, it makes me glow, it gives me a radiance that other highlighting products just can't!
It's Overall rating (On the Website) is 4.7/5 stars and Many others seem to love it just as much as I do. I may try other illuminating products in the future; but I will always go back to High Beam!
Do you Beauties have any "must use" products in your arsenal's?

IMATS'11 and Dry Skin, HELP ME!
I haven't been purchasing many beauty products lately in anticipation for IMATS Toronto 11! I'm going on the Sunday-November 13th with my sister Skye. It is going to be so amazing! I've heard amazing things from people who attended in the past, and I'm finally going in my 22nd year!
I plan to grab a lip tar or two and maybe some OCC nail lacquer's, some NYX products, Orgasm in the multiple from NARS maybe some Make Up For Ever, butt-loads of brushes (you can NEVER have TOO many brushes!) and maybe get a bit of my Christmas shopping done.
The cold weather brings fireplaces, holidays, cute boots and coats, delicious holiday inspired lattes, and of course...the dreaded dry skin, lips and hair. I despise this time, because even my super dry skin moisturizers don't give me enough! I NEEED HELP! My normal lip balm doesn't give me enough moisture either, my hair seems to be okay for the most part as it's not over washed. I NEED A WINTER FRIENDLY MOISTURIZER/SKINCARE ROUTINE!!! what are your favorites for the holiday season?
