IMATS and Beauty Bloggers Utopia Sydney 2012
{Once upon a time at IMATS…}
As you may know, last weekend I attended the Beauty Bloggers Utopia 2012 (BBU2012) conference in Sydney and as a part of it IMATS. It was an intense weekend during which we were introduced to a few amazing new brands, met new people, ate a lot of cupcakes & learned a lot about beauty and blogging too. For example, at Jane Cameron‘s makeup class I learnt that my face is vertically symmetrical which is pretty awesome and horizontally asymmetrical which is not that awesome. Kate Moss, by the way, is perfectly symmetrical (that’s why she is a super model!).
On another note, we were spoiled with surprises! Courtesy of Lust Have It we attended Sydney’s premier of the Legally Blonde musical. What a fantastic show it was! We also had an opportunity to meet the main stars and go backstage after the show. To describe everything we saw and did would take at least a few pages. I won’t do that to you dear readers. So enjoy the photos! – scroll down to see what we’ve been up to during BBU2012 and IMATS.
Finally, big thanks to Sara May and Lara, the organizers who did an amazing job putting together such a great event for us beauty and makeup enthusiasts. Also our sponsors for amazing venues, food and presents. Thank you all for two unforgettable days!
