IMATS Wish List

Oh my gosh IMATS is this weekend! When did that happen?!

I have been SO busy that I havent even had a chance to properly put my wish list together.

Thankfully, some people ARE on the ball, so if you want to know what’s going down at IMATS and where to get the deals, read these posts by actual bloggers who are way more organized than me!

Read this great post from Glitter Geek Arianne about which Canadian vendors will have special sales at the show: http://bit.ly/rdzzei

And Ande of MakeMeOverAnde has some great tips on navigating the show: http://bit.ly/ufnCZB

For my part, here are two booths I am super excited to visit. I have been eyeing the Bdellium green bamboo tools for some time now and I cant wait to get my hands on them. The Zuca is a no brainer; Best. Bag. Ever! :)

Bdellium Tools http://www.bdelliumtools.com

Toronto Beauty Blogger Spring Meetup

On March 27 (yes – I’m THAT far behind!), the lovely Farah (www.facesbyfarah.com) organized yet another amazing Toronto Beauty Blogger meet up. If you follow any Toronto beauty blogs, then I’m sure you’ve already seen a ton of awesome pics and info on the event so I will keep it short and sweet; I went, I ate, I won, I schmoozed, I photographed. :)

The “gang”!

As a consultant with Arbonne, I have become more and more conscious about what products are in my skin care and makeup and if they contain animal products or testing (post on this coming later). I say this because in a completely random draw at the meet up I just happened to win the Green Beaver prize pack! Green Beaver is Canadian (cute name, eh?), gluten free, and is free of animal by-products, parabens, pthalates, and they do not test on animals! I cant wait to try these and tell you all about them.
