Saw this awesome tag here, and couldn't stop myself! IMATS here I come!
Image taken from IMATS site and is of Sydney IMATS 2010
1. Which IMATS are you attending?
IMATS Sydney 2011, and I am beyond excited for it! I'm going as part of the Australian Beauty Bloggers Weekend, where I will spend time with other beauty bloggers and shop up a storm at IMATS.

2. Have you ever been to IMATS before?
No, it's my first time at a trade show and my first visit to Sydney!
3. How are you getting there?
Flying up there, which I am nervous about as I don't like flying. I've travelled quite a bit, but never could get used to the feeling of losing control.
4. Are you bringing anyone along?
Chris and I were originally planning a weekend away for the event, but now I am leaving him on his lonesome at home and heading there with Melissa, and am meeting the other blogger ladies there.
5. Is there anything else in the IMATS host city that you want to see?
Anything and everything! First time there and I'll hopefully have Friday to explore, so feel free to throw any suggestions at me!
6. What days will you be in the city that IMATS is in?

6. What days will you be in the city that IMATS is in?
I will be there from early Friday to late Sunday, if flights go as planned.
7. Who do you want to meet?
I can't wait to meet inspiring artists, and learn new techniques to play around with. I'm also looking forward to spending time with Melissa, and soaking up the awesomeness that is Australian beauty bloggers!
8. What companies exhibits are you most excited to see?
Ben Nye looks to be great, and quite different to anything I've ever seen before.
9. What products are you looking for?
I'm yet to write a formal shopping list (gasp!) but I know that I want to peruse MUFA, MAC, Inglot and pick up some Royal and Langnickel brushes. I know I will just end up picking up things that catch my eye though, but that is just how it goes.

10. How much do you plan to spend?
Hopefully not too much, but I have put away a few hundred to spend there. I have a feeling I'll be lugging a tonne of brushes back with me...and Inglot
palettes.
11. What do you want to get out of IMATS?
I'm going to change this question to "What do you want to get out of ABBW"
I want to lose some of the shyness that holds me back in life, and converse with the blogging ladies I admire. I want to soak up every minute of beauty natter whether it be from the professionals or the bloggers, and not feel strange about comparing lipgloss attributes in detail. It's completely normal folks! And, of course, I want to enjoy the access to brands I wouldn't otherwise, and take home some goodies to keep the holiday fun going.

I have to say this is a delight to see. We are so excited that you are excited for ABBW. I can pretty much say that all your hopes for ABBW will come true because that is exactly why we are putting on this event.
ReplyDeleteShyness is something we all have to combat when it comes to meeting new people. You will not be alone and everyone will be in the same shoes. This will be a fun weekend and we will make sure of it.
@Kimmi, thank you so much for your comment! I was so excited for IMATS alone, but ABBW promises to be an experience like no other! Am beyond excited now, this will be great for overcoming shyness, I feel so lucky to be involved=)
