Clothes Show Live 2015

Welcome to my Annual Clothes Show Post! This year has to be the most amazing year yet, not only because I took along my bestie Aamira but also because the whole thing had a revamp! They had better brands this year including Nanshy, NYX and Cloud Nine as well as decorating the NEC with prettier displays and brighter lights! This time round I was very lucky again to be accepted for a Press Pass/Blogger 2015 and it was amazing. We went into the blogger bar, were spoilt with an amazing goodie bag that I am going to talk through in a moment and we got the chance to meet Jamie Lang from MIC! He was the cutest person ever, having a chat with him and getting to know him was the highlight of my day. I had so much fun and it was all because of you guys, thank you for reading my blog - erm we hit 1000 followers!

The Bloggers Goodie Bag 

 


I am not trying to brag or showoff about this goodie bag, it has become part of my haul and I want to show you all the amazing things. As you can see it was full of all things pretty, girly and amazing. There were KISS nails in there, Lavish Phone Case, KISS Lashes, Leather Protector, A Olympus PEN leather strap which is making me want to buy their camera it is stunning. There was also a selfie stick in their from the sponsors of the fashion show Alcatel, a makeup brush and some little bits like nail file and mirror. The biggest gifts in their have to be the Paul's Boutique purse and  a Maniere De Voir coin purse which has been put straight into my handbag its so pretty.

Haul

This year was a little different for me as I didn't buy the brands I typically go for such as Models Own because I am still trying to use their things from the year and year before! The first stall that caught me was called 'Celebrity Scents' and they stocked perfumes from the celebs, the company was SAS Perfumes in charge of the branded ones. I picked up Little Mix Gold Magic and Cheryl Stormflower Noir for £10 each and Aamira got Ri Ri for the same price - couldn't believe my eyes. Then I headed to the KISS Nails store, not realising that they were in the goody bag but the nonetheless, stick on nails are the best thing to do! GOSH were also there where I managed to pick up a Nude lip liner and rose gold eye shadow stick. NYX were also there this year and oh my gosh it was wonderful! There was such a que for a long time but we caved in the end and waited and I am so glad we did. I managed to see what the hype about the brand was and felt quite overwhelmed at first until I picked up two bits - Shine Killer and Butter Gloss, which I will report back soon. Then the biggest purchase of all was from Cloud Nine Hair. I picked up their curlers after the lovely lady curled my hair and convinced me that my hair will curl and it lasted 3 days! I am now slightly in LOVE with curly hair one me - let me know your thoughts?

Woo, that was a long post wasn't it! I hope you enjoyed coming around with me, it was such a fun day and I can't wait till next year! If you ever get the chance to go then I highly recommend it! Enjoy x

Clothes Show Live 2014| Press Pass Experience+Haul

PICTURE HEAVY WARNING.

It's that time of year again CLOTHE SHOW TIME! If you want to see my posts from last year then click here and have a read! This year was a little bit different to the other two years that I have been because I was very lucky to be going as a member of press! Yes, tiny little blog on the internet was very kindly accepted for a press pass and I LOVED IT! In this post I will be posting a lot of photos so please be warned, as well as showing you what i bought along with my experience of being pass - i had no idea what to expect from it and maybe I can answer some questions you might have!

THE PRESS PASS EXPERIENCE

Being part of press sounds all very exciting and fancy and it really is! On arrival you get escorted by security to the lounge where you have access to Wi-Fi, plugs, press materials from stall holders as well as refreshments which for me was the best bit by far. You also get you're own little pass with you're name and the publication on which essentially gives you a chance to view the fashion row from the front of the stage! Yes, I was inches away from beautiful models in stunning clothes (see pictures below) and you get to sit on the first two rows and i was sat two seats away from Proudlock (made in chelsea) but stupid security wouldn't let me have a picture! After seeing the show you walk around the stalls as causal and have a jolly time! 

HAUL

BarryM - A must have every year this year filled with even more goodies! In total I got 6 polishes which is crazy! Was kind of hoping for a Gelly in there but never mind the other ones are amazing! There is also a lip crayon, eye-liner, lip gloss, dazzle dust and a brow kit inside, All comes with a cute makeup bag perfect for travelling!

Ciaté - This one I was very EXCITED about! For only £10 you got a neon set which is perfect for the summer so look out for that, a little bag that contains three mini polishes along with glitter! And then a choice between either a pastel doll house or a beach house - i went with beach house because summer is going to be perfect for it! I was so shocked that this was in the bag as I have always wanted one and my dreams came true! 

Diet Coke were also there doing their bit as usual! You got the chance to design a bottle with various stickers and ribbons and then enter a competition to win ASOS vouchers! It even came with tissue and a bag which is the real reason I made my mum que up with me!

Another two that were there again this year...

Cosmo - Came with a magazine, lots of samples including salt spray and a Little Miracles Drink

So Susan/Jelly Pong Pong - This is the cheapest goody bag available on the day at only £5 you get a load of goodies that will soon appear on my blog especially that blush you can see - it is stunning!

That's it for this year, I had such an amazing day and felt so proud of myself for not spending lots and picking up some presents along with having amazing seats for the show! Did you go this year? Or will you be going next year?

Blogmas Day 15 || Clothes Show Live Haul+Photos ♥

Sunday was a day that I have been looking forward to for over 6 months and I couldn't wait for the day to arrive! It was time for my second year at the clothes show and I was beyond excited and couldn't contain my excitement...we set off early in the morning (7am is a killer!) and arrived at 9.30 which isn't bad to spend the whole day shopping and then view the show at the end of day! Here is some of the things that I bought, I won't go into detail as you will be seeing everything over the coarse of the next few weeks and the rest of blogmas may feature a few of these products!
First up..a few pictures from the day!

I met some of the Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model Girls who are stunning in real life btw.

Also met the gorg and talented singer Scott Innes who basically sang to me! 

The first stand that we saw as we entered was the Company/Cosmo stand where we could buy a magazine goody bag. It came with lots of little samples which are pictured on the left as well as the current issue of both magazines that I was going to buy on the way home! So this saved me a trip to the service stations.

Next up was a goody bag that is no stranger to you all as it has been featured on my blog before - SO SUSAN, had four of their newly released products for £5 all of which I love and will be reviewing very soon.

Next was a stand that I didn't even know would be there, W7 who also have the sister brand Smooch which I have previously reviewed not that long ago on the blog. The £10 goody bag was filled with goodies from Smooch that are truly amazing and I can't wait to use them all!

Of course you can't leave the clothes show without visiting BarryM and they had a bag packed with treats from Nails to Eyes and some lip products as well!
