A little while ago I decided to take the plunge and order myself tickets to IMATS London 2014. I'm going to be going with my very good friend Emma, who is much more knowledgeable about make up than I am. In fact, she is a trained beautician so I'm really going to have an expert on hand.
Whilst the tickets are a bit steep, I think this is something I'll do just the once and hopefully get good value from it. I'm interested in the exhibits and seminars, but also the chance to shop brands which are either not easily attainable in the UK, or discounted.
I also started my savings plan a little while ago. The plan was to put aside a little every week, thereby ending up with a reasonable shopping budget by the time June 28th rolls around.
I do however need to cater to my metal spine and plan an attack so that I don't get museumitis*. So Emma and I are going to look at the list of what stands are in attendance, craft a shortlist, and make a beeline for those stands. We'll have a supermarket sweep type approach, then seek refuge in seminars to recover ourselves. We'll also be heading there early, of course.
Has anyone else been to IMATS? What was your experience? Do you have any top tips?

*fairly self explanatory, but is essentially a sore back (and general malaise) from standing up too long, eg in museums.
