IMATS Toronto 2011 Series: Donut Friday with Elessa and Koren

IMATS Toronto started early for me.  I arrived Friday at 11:00 am with fellow MUA Alia to assist the fabulous Eve Pearl with setting up her booth.  After getting things set up and checking into the hotel we headed over to Donut Friday at Jordane Store.  The store is small and quaint but has items to start off or stock a makeup kit.  Koren and Elessa did demos using some of Jordane products while we looked around the store at things to purchase and snacked on bite size sandwiches, cupcakes and timbits.

I only purchased 2 items, an artist style palette and a tube of black mascara for my kit.  I love the design of the palette.  It is easier to hold and has more space than my rectangular one.  Koren of Enkore Makeup used the mascara during his demo and I loved how it applied with the mascara fan brush and the spoolie.

Koren also talked about color theory, and brow anatomy.  The above link shows a video from the event.  

Product Review: Enkore Makeup Cuff'lette

Upon hearing Koren of Enkore Makeup LLC was developing a palette you could wear on your wrist, I just knew I had to purchase some!  During IMATS Toronto 2011 at Donut Friday I was priviledged to see a prototype of the Cuff'lette.  I was very impressed with the design and couldn't wait until the final product would be available.  A few days ago I received the two I ordered.  I have to say I love them and they are my favorite palettes in my kit now. 


I tested them out today while doing my makeup at work.  Some days I need to do my makeup at work on my break.  I normally put my foundation on the back of my hand and apply with a brush or sponge from there.  This normally means I have to wash it off my hand after I am done.  Today with the cuff'lette I didn't have to wash my hand afterward which meant I could get back to work quicker.  I even had time to get a 2nd cup of coffee.

Cuff'lette took 3 years to develop and was highly anticipated by Makeup Artist and Makeup Enthusiast.  It is a must have for any makeup artist kit. 

Pros:

• it adjust well to your wrist(pinch-n-fiddle to shape around wrist)
• lightweight
• easy to clean and sanitize
• great size for multiple products (dimensions: 2.5 x 3)
• connected to wrist so less chance of losing during event or someone walking off with it.
• shipping time and package
• sturdy product( dropped while packing to leave work and it did not break)
• stainless steel
• price point

All the types of palettes in my kit

Cons:

• none I can think of. :)
