The Body Shop & LFW: Dans La Vie and Zeynep Tosun

I realise that this post is waaay overdue, but I’ve been really busy with uni – I seriously can’t wait for third year to be over!

Anyway, the beautiful people at The Body Shop invited me down to a few shows at London Fashion Week and I had an absolute blast. I’d never been to any LFW week shows before so it was a great experience, especially being there as a guest of my favourite shop!

I got to sit front row at both the Dans La Vie and Zeynep Tosun shows and I also got a chance to go backstage and check out the preparation that went into the show. TBS was a show sponsor so all of the products used on the models were from there. Unfortunately it was really busy back there so I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the products, but it was like a Body Shop warehouse!

Before the show started we waited around in the media lounge, where The Body Shop had a really cool photobooth and station for you to get your makeup done.

Event: #MerryBeneChristmas - Benefit Christmas Party

Benefit’s Beautiful Blogger Christmas Party

This post is a tad late off of the mark, but earlier this month I headed along to the Mary Jane’s Bar in Aldgate for an amazing Blogger Christmas party held by Benefit Cosmetics – obviously not as good as #bbloggerxmas though!

We were shown all of the new Christmas kits that Benefit had just launched and plied with some very lovely cocktails and Christmassy canapés.

The Benefit makeup artist also demonstrated a quick Christmas look using the products in the She’s So Jetset set.

There was also a little Christmas quiz and I was lucky enough to win a prize, which was the High Flying Glosses Set. And on top of a very generous goody bag we were all given one of the Christmas sets, so I also got to take home Fast Train To Fabulous.

All of the Christmas sets are currently on sale so head over to the Benefit website and take advantage of the amazing discounts – I’m eyeing up a perfume set myself!

What do you think of the Christmas Sets? Were you lucky enough to get one for Christmas?

Event: #BBloggersxmas

#BBloggersxmas

Saturday 15^th December was a big day for Victoria and myself – it was finally the day of the blogger event we seem to have been planning forever. Of course everything went wrong on the morning of the event, including Victoria getting caught up in traffic on her way and me freaking out that things wouldn’t get done in time. But after weeks of sleepless nights and preparations galore, we pulled it off and had a fantastic day.

Beauty bloggers from all over the country joined us and met up with girls who they’d been following and chatting on Twitter with for months. Big thanks to the girls who travelled from far and wide to get to London! It was amazing to see all of the hard work we’d both put in paid off. I was completely shattered so I didn’t get to enjoy the event as much as I’d wanted (I pretty much felt like a zombie!), but lots of the bloggers who came along said they really enjoyed themselves – which was lovely to hear.

A huge thank-you goes out to all of the brands and bloggers who came to the event or somehow contributed. You honestly made the day everything it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of girls. Also a big thanks to the brothers and boyfriends who accompanied some of the bloggers down to the event. Makeup-Pixi3’s husband and Minty Essence’s brother – I’m looking at you guys in particular!

My biggest thanks goes to the beautiful Victoria, my partner in crime and a true friend.

I’ll stop babbling and get on with the photos, but honesty - thank you all.
