Part of that swag was the @BioreCanada Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser. I absolutely love the new cleanser. Actually, I love ALL Bioré products – especially the nose strips that remind me how terribly clogged my pores are!

Nonetheless, while being able to go home and enjoy my samples and later my full-sized purchased products, my sister also sent me photos to enjoy.

We took these at the Bioré skincare photo booth. They’re really embarrassing but you have to learn to laugh at yourself!

The booth was clearly too small for three people but we tried to make it work. Thanks for the concert and the samples, Bioré. We loved it!

Hello Fellow Fashioneers. As you all may have known, ANTM’s first ever fashion event was just this past weekend, with all the all star models.  Let me tell you, all the hype around the event was accurate!

From the amazing Joey Bevan’s Avant garde, to his stunning lingerie on the catwalk, Pandora’s experts in fashion and style, and lets not forget the cute little ‘go to’ booth shops like the cupcake soap. I swear if I was not told what they were, I would have eaten them.

I was blown away by the stage setup’s and the amazing designers. We also saw Canada’s very own favourite department store The Bay, taking pieces from Day to Night! I was truly in awe. You could tell that a lot of hard work and time was put in to this 3 day event.

I do hope that they do this again as it was extremely fun and fashionable to bring your girls out to have a little fashion filled day of fun! I know my girls from Fashion Works Canada loved every bit of it!

I won’t bore you with the details, have a look for yourself!

Anyway, one of the cool vendors at the fair was @3FFashions. I had heard about them via Twitter a couple of weeks ago when singer @AleesiaMusic made an in-store appearance. Unfortunately, living in Hamilton, I wasn’t able to scurry over there quickly enough to make it.

Nonetheless, I checked out the 3F Fashions booth at America’s Next Top Model Live in Toronto and made a video with Chris.

In the video, we had to shout our favourite “f-word.” Naturally, we all know what my favourite f-word is… hah, just kidding! We kept it PG and came up with something very @OfficialKimora.

Please watch our video here (as embarrassing as it is…) and share it on whichever social media platform you prefer. Tweet it, Facebook it, Reblog this post. If our video gets the most views, we will win a $500 shopping spree!

There was something at the convention for everyone’s interests–from beauty to fashion to celebrities. One of the most interactive parts of the event, was the shopping! With so many booths offering a variety of goods, wallets couldn’t help but stay open!

The engaging fun didn’t stop with retail therapy though, there were many make-up, nail and hair stations too! There were over 150 exhibitors showcasing products and sharing beauty and fashion tips.

“I actually came to the event not knowing what to expect. As soon as I entered I couldn’t hold in my excitement,” said 15-year-old Amelia Da Silva. “I honestly felt like a celebrity, being pampered so much!”

“It’s an event that anyone at any age can enjoy,” said 43-year-old Susan Dawn. “I didn’t even need my daughters as an excuse to be here!” Dawn said she especially enjoyed watching the live performances and fashion shows.

The lucky ones who got VIP passes not only had access to reserved seating and received a cool Swag Bag, but they also were able to get autographs and meet the special guests.

“It’s insane! That’s the only word I can use to describe this experience; absolutely insane,” Degrassi actor Luke Bilyk said. ”We have the best fans ever!”

Bilyk along with fellow Degrassi star Alicia Josipovic and singer Karl Wolf were only some of the many celebrity appearances. Also spotted throughout the weekend was Danny Fernandes, Jeanne Beker and even Jordan Francis.

But of course it can’t be called America’s Next Top Model Live without the gorgeous and talented models themselves including Lisa D’Amato, the winner of America’s Next Top Model ALL STARS!

Other highlights of the event included:

• Style Stage with French Connection offering presentations on topics such as wedding style, cosmetic trends and how to be a fashion blogger from industry professionals.
• Sutherland Supermodel Search in which 15-year-old Sara was deemed the winner of a modeling contract with Sutherland Models, an appearance in GLOW Magazine and a trip to New York City just to name a few.
• Schwarzkoph Professional Main Stage where professionals style hair for the ANTM All Stars, dancers, celebrity talent performers and Sutherland Supermodel Search Finalists.
• Perfect Face Stage offered 30 minutes sessions from various experts on creating the perfect look and the latest beauty secrets.
• Open Catwalk on the Pandora Stage offered many entertaining performances along with a fashion and lingerie showcase from Joey Bevan.

Let’s hope for another great convention next year! Don’t forget to check out our photo gallery from the event that can be found here.
