Bloggers Love..... Beauty Bar Event

Hello Lovelies,

I've had a busy but really lovely week this week that started with a visit to London on Tuesday with the lovely Rach from Sunshine and Sparkles. We spent the afternoon shopping on Oxford Street and in Covent Garden and I particularly loved browsing the beauty halls of Selfridges, Debenhams and John Lewis. In Selfridges a lovely lady on the Illamasqua counter offered to show me some of their products and I loved the finished look, especially the eyeliner. I don’t wear eyeliner like this much, but I want to try and wear it more often because I loved it.

I was very restrained and I only bought a couple things. I got two Blackberry Bath Bombs from Lush, some gorgeous sparkly star earrings from Oasis and some Philosophy Sweet Fluffy Cupcake Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath. This is the first Philosophy Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath I have tried and it smells amazing and it a lovely shimmery blue colour and I can’t wait to try it.

At 6 o'clock we went to the Bloggers Love..... Beauty Bar Event at Penthouse London. I hadn't been to a Bloggers Love... Event before because from where I live it takes almost 3 hours to get to London, but when I got the invite to this one it looked really good so we decided to go and make a day of it. 

When we got there one of the first things I noticed was the view, we were on the 8th Floor and the view of London at night with the London Eye and Big Ben lit up was amazing, especially because I wouldn't normally get to see London from so high up.

At the Beauty Bar Event each Brand had a little space around the room and the Brands that were there were:

The Make Up Bullet
Yumi Lashes
Herra Haircare
Artdeco
Eve Taylor
My Treat Card
Argentum Apothecary
ARK Skincare
La Cure UK

Everyone was so passionate about their products and it was a pleasure talking to them and discovering new brands and products I hadn't heard of before. One of the lovely ladies representing La Cure UK gave me a lovely hand massage using La Cure UK Papaya Body Butter which smelt amazing and left my hand feeling really smooth and hydrated. 

Below are a few photos from the Beauty Bar Event.

All the Brands were very generous and I came home with some treats that I can’t wait to try out.

Thank you Bloggers Love..... for inviting me to this Beauty Bar Event and I hope to be invited to more in the future :)

Did you go to this Beauty Bar Event? Have you been to any Bloggers Love..... Events?

A beautiful storage idea for Earrings and Necklaces

I have been having a sort out recently as I'm moving in about a month and thought now is a better time than ever to have a clear out and organise things. 

Over the years I seem to have accumulated a lot of jewellery especially earrings, I think this is because I'm always drawn to sparkly things especially when I see them reduced and I can't resist a bargain! 

I used to keep my earrings altogether in some little drawers but always found it annoying looking for the pair I wanted. After sorting out which ones I wanted to keep, I didn't want to just put them back in the drawers to get mixed up again, so I decided a good way of storing them would be like this.

I got this noticeboard and just pushed the earrings into it. I think a pin board might have worked better because this board is quite hard and some earrings would not push in, so I put them on small pieces of card (cut out from a Glossybox box) and pinned those to the board. I also found it was quite useful to hang some necklaces on it so they didn't get tangled. I still have a couple of little boxes for special earrings but most are now on here.

Not only can I now find pairs easily, I still have plenty of room for more :) I think not only is it a good way of storing earrings and necklaces but it also looks really nice and I will be putting it on the wall at my new house. 

Thank you for reading :) I'd love to hear how you store your jewellery :)
