#BBloggersLDN Meet

On Saturday (I know, I know! I'm sorry for posting so late!) I and Summer's Beauty on a Budget attended the #BBloggersLDN Meet in Hyde Park. It was at 10.30am so it was definitely an early start, which is painful for a weekend but it was definitely worth it!

So when we arrived, there were a number of bloggers there already and we got to speak with them all, introduce ourselves and generally network! I was so glad to see a familiar face too, as Olivia (Beauty from the Fjord) whom I met previously at another event. And loved meeting new people like Naomi (Throw Me Something Beautiful).

We were given our goodie bags in a very cute shopper tote bag and then we all made our way to Westfield White City for a spot of lunch and shopping! We decided on Gourmet Burger Kitchen and I got the delicious Chicken Grilled Burger and Lemonade (you best believe I enjoyed it (^.-)
Whilst in Westfield I treated myself to a little bit of Lush!

As you can see we were so incredibly lucky as the goodie bag is just amazing! As you can see we got products from Cocoa Brown, Face the Future, Scent City, Time Bomb Timeless Truth, Yves Roche (super excited), Rio Nails (can't wait to start using!!) and IS Clinical. And the lovely Vicky (Being Tilly's Mummy) was sweet enough to donate some products from Superdrug! Thank you!!

And a really big thank you to Becky (Candy Floss Cloud) for organising the event, which was just so much fun and so relaxed and I wish her the best of luck for the next event she is planning!

 You can get yourself tickets here for the BBloggers Winter Event! Details are on the website!
So have you guys tried any other products from the named brands?

Headmasters Event (Company Beauty Week)

Luckily with Company Summer from Beauty on a Budget and I managed to get tickets to the Hairdressing and Styling event with Headmasters where we were given a luxury treatment of a Blow-dry and Styling.!.! Plus we had an assortment of snacks which included Macaroons, Coconut & Chocolate Cakes and of course Champagne.!.!.!.

'Bergdorf Bounce is the blow-dry I chose which happens to be the one on the book cover! 

When we arrived we were taken downstairs where the lovely stylists were waiting for us to arrive. And we were offered refreshments and a browse through their Blow Dry Style Book for inspiration. I decided on their most popular blow dry called 'Bergdorf Bounce' while Summer got the 'Mayfair Grunge'.

Personally I was a bit worried as I have curly hair and I quite literally run from hairdryers.!.! Luckily the lovely lady who did my hair called Jodie had naturally curly hair too.!.!.! So I knew I was in safe hands.

The treatment included a wash and head massage which was oh so divine.!. I literally almost fell asleep! It was sooo relaxing.!.! And the Shampoo and Conditioner she used smelt sooo good.!.!.

This is mine and Summer's hair after it was freshly done.!

I was then taken to the styling chair and away she went working wonders! I chose to go for one of their most popular blow drys as it still had some of the volume, curl and side parting that I'm used to.!.!.!.


This is my hair late at night as afterwards Summer and I went shopping and for dinner so it lasted so well.!.

 

 

I'm serious she was a miracle worker. She managed to recreate the look onto my hair and even managed to control those little baby hairs!

No but that's not all.!. We were also given two amazing goodie bags (OMG they were sooo heavy) from both Company and Headmasters themselves.!.

 

In the Company Bag (which I must say looked soo cool.!.) We were given the book About a Girl by Lindsey Kelk which I shall be taking on holiday, Batiste Dry Shampoo, Little White Lie - Tanning Mouse, Rituals - Ginko's Secret Hand Balm, a Paul Mitchell - Curls Gel Cream and a Vogetti Wide-Tooth Comb which I am very appreciative of considering I have naturally curly hair. I also got a sachet of Malibu Swimmers Hair Treatment, a sample of BlanX Toothpaste which I'll probably take on holiday with me too. A L'Oreal Lipstick, Nails Inc Nail Polish and last but not least and organic Hampstead Lemon Green Tea.!.!.

 

And from Headmasters we got a voucher to pop in to have A Cut and Blow Dry plus these five amazing products: their Hairspray, Dry Shampoo, Heat Defence Spray & Serum and Blow Dry Cream.

I'd like to say a big Thank you to Company & Headmasters for creating a fabulous ending to a wonderful week.! Xx

P.S. Sorry for all they Hair pictures.....I may or may not have been obsessed with how my hair looked.!. hehe

Origins GinZing Event (Company Beauty Week)

Doesn't the venue just look amazing? and the view.!.!.

I was lucky enough to attend The Origins GinZing Event being held at OXO Tower in Southwark and my what a venue it was, it was gorgeous, especially as we had the view of the River Thames and other London Touristic Sites like St.Pauls Cathedral.!.!.

Upon entry we were given a glass of complimentary champagne and during the event canapés were being offered too.!.!. We were then attended by a lovely Origins Lady who talked to us about their new range, (Which I must add smelt amazing and the texture of their GinZing Moisturizer is phenomenal.!.!.!)


Sorry anyone who I accidentally caught in the photo.!.!

It was sooo relaxing as we weren't pushed into purchasing the products, it was just like a meet & greet.!. There were make-up & skin care stands plus there were facials being done but I kinda sorta forgot to take pictures....(Sorry.!.!.)

I'm sorry for the dark image but we left really late and I ended up going in through a different entrance..hehehe.

There was also a photobooth which I and Summer took full advantage of.!. and at the end of the lovely event we were presented with a goodie bag.!. (But i'll save you the trouble of seeing my terrible duck face.!.!)

 

This goodie bag was filled with lovely little goodies.!. Not only did we get a copy of Company Magazine but we also got a sample of DKNY - Be Delicious Perfume, which I know I'll be saving for my holiday, a sample of Bumble & Bumble - Gentle Shampoo & Conditoner which I'm looking forward to trying out. We also got 2 Origins samples.!.

The Origins - Modern Friction and High-Potency Night-A-Min.!.!

I just want to thank everyone who organized or helped out at the event.! Gosh it was so much fun and was just lovely to have an excuse to visit the touristic sites of London at night :) But in all honesty Thank you.!.

P.S. If you've tried any of these let me know your thoughts? or if you have tried other products that may be just as good let me know!
