British Style Collective- Blogger Event

Hello Lovlies! 
So, the other week I was kindly invited to a bloggers event all about the British Style Collective which is being held in Liverpool this year! The event was hosted at Oh Me Oh My which if you haven't been is a lovely building with a stunning roof top bar. 
In the past you may of heard of the 'Clothes Show' which used to take place in Birmingham, but this year its moved to Liverpool with a new name and is going to be bigger and better than ever. I will go into more detail later on about the BSC and how you can get your hands on your tickets but for now I'm going to let you know what I got up to at this amazing event. 
First of all as always it was so nice to see a room full of local bloggers and having the opportunity to meet and chat to new people. There were some lovely sweet treats dotted around the room (Donuts!) and there was a process and Liverpool Gin bar, I actually don't drink so was just a water for me. 
The room itself was decorated amazingly with cute fairy lights, mini plants, balloons and of course giant BSC letters.
One of my favourite parts of the event would have to be getting turned into a Cosmic Princess by the lovely ladies at Once Upon A Sparkle, they had a lovely set up with lots of different pots of sparkly glitter, me being the magpie that I am, I gravitated straight towards them. 
These products would be perfect if you are planning on going to a festival this summer or if you just want to add a bit of sparkle to your night out, I did however get some looks walking to the bus after the event but who cares I felt cool. These lovely ladies will also be having a stall at the BSC so make sure to check them out if you get a chance to get down the event.
The evening was kindly hosted by fashion journalist, presenter and the spokesperson for BSC Antonia O'Brien, whom I chatted with at the end of the event and she is a lovely women (Her dress was mermaid goals!) She told us all about the exciting things that were coming to Liverpool and how big this event is going to be. 
There was also another very special guest pair that spoke at the event and that was renowned Hair Dresser Andrew Collinge and his beautiful makeup and beauty expert wife Liz Collinge. It was very inspiring listening to how they met and how far they have come in their careers, they also gave us some inside knowledge on the top hairstyle of the summer (Pstt, its the look where you don't look like you have bothered doing your hair but really you have.)
We also got to have a first look at their new product line called CO by Andrew Collinge which is amazing, I was also lucky enough to take home a full size of their definer product and the invisible dry shampoo! (It really is invisible, review to come!). I also got the chance to chat with the power couple after their talk and they are the friendliest people!.
All in all I had a fantastic evening and am looking forward to hopefully going to the BSC when it comes to Liverpool. One of the most unexpected parts of the night was the gifting lounge! I couldn't believe the generosity of some brands, including Pixi, Thumbs up, Prima Makeup, Being  and many more. 
Thank you BSC for such a wonderful evening and to Liverpool Blogging Queen Steph Bewley for the opportunity.

The Body Shop Christmas Blogger Event!

Hello Lovlies! 
So this week i was asked if i would like to attend Body Shops Christmas launch event on Tuesday evening and of course i said yes, would have been rude not too ;) The event was held at the Liverpool Bold Street Store which is a really cute small store which made it great for the event. So this week The Body Shop released their full christmas range which included some new exciting additions to their makeup range and i was luck enough to have a play with the products the day they were realised so i could share my thoughts with you all. 
The Bio-Bridge Campaign
Now at this time of year everyone is busy buying gifts for one another, well wouldn't it be great if those presents you were buying could benefit serve 2 purposes, 1 making the gift receiver happy and 2 making a difference to the world. That is exactly what The Body Shop have decided to do this year, whenever you buy one of their Christmas gifts you are also putting money towards their Wildlife campaign. For every gift you buy 4p will go to the campaign which will restore 1 square metre of forest! They are aiming to raise an impressive £200,000 for the campaign to help wildlife & endangered animals in the likes of Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. To find out more information about this brilliant campaign click here.


Advent Calendars
So as we all know beauty advent calendars have been a massive trend this year (I am yet to buy one!) and the Body shop have created their own version's of the tradition advent calender. This year they have created 3 different options which is a great decision because it could appeal to different budgets. The great thing about all of these calendars is they all have 24 days unlike to which only have 12, they are all very luxurious and our priced between £60-£100 and can all be viewed here.


New Makeup Releases 
To be honest i have never really tried any of the Body Shops makeup range but always wanted to give it a go , so it was great to see and try out some of the new range. For the festive season The Body Shop have released some lovely eye shadow quad palettes (£15) which are perfect for a day to night look and have a soft feel & great pigmentation. Whilst i was there i also got to try their new liquid matte lipsticks which once again have a lovely texture and have a great range of colours for only £6.

One of the main things that caught my eye was the new make brush range! I seem to have a bit of a problem with makeup brushes and just like to keep buying them and already i have a few on my wish list. The one that really caught my attention at the contour brush (£14) it just felt so soft and i think it may have to be purchased. 
 I was given a lovely makeover at the event because i was interested in their foundation and the lightening and darkening drops, the manager of the store who was extremely friendly showed me how the two can be used to contour and highlight which made the darker drops especially seem less daunting. I would defiantly recommend trying this product if you wanted to lighten or darken you foundation or even add to your moisturiser for more of a tinted look.
Signature Christmas Scents!


This year The Body Shop have released 3 signature Christmas scents! and i have to say they are all lovely & christmasy! The scents are Spiced Apple, Vanilla Chai and Frosted Berries. All of these scents come in a wide range of forms including shower gels, body butters, body scrubs, bubble bath,  lip balm, shimmer mist and hand cream, as well as being in a variety of different gift sets!I think my favourite scent maybe the Vanilla Chai especially in the candle form (another great product you can get in all scents) 

Here are a couple more pictures i took at the event of a couple of the new products and lovely gift sets! I especially love the look of the 'Spa Of The World' range! especially the beautiful wooden gift box!. 
Thank you very much again to the lovely ladies at The Body Shop for inviting me to this event and giving me some lovely samples to try out for myself at home! 
What is your favourite all time Body Shop scent?
