Maybelline goodies!

This year Maybelline were the official makeup sponsors of London Fashion Week so had various stands around Somerset house. Something exciting was that Mollie King from the saturdays (who I have already stated was my fashion icon) had collaborated with Maybelline to design her own lipstick colour. I had read about this before going and wanted to make sure that I picked one up when I went. I was standing around the maybelline stand and the lady gave me and my mum one of the lipsticks and said we could have it! I have literally never felt luckier!

The colour is not as scary on the lips as it is in the tube. The packaging is lovely and pink and has Mollie's signature on the side which gives it an effect of how limited it is! I am not sure whether this will be released in shops but I will definitely keep my eye out if it does and let you all know!

Something else that Maybelline were selling where these 'beauty boxes' for £10 that had a particular look inside. As a paler person I wanted one that I knew would suit my skin tone and that I knew I would wear as an everyday look. I went for 'pure enhancement'.

The box included a Brow drama sculpting brow mascara in Dark Brown which is a little too dark for me so will be giving this away to my mum! It also included a Mega plush mascara in very black. Which is something I actually wanted to buy myself when I next went to boots so that was a bonus! Dream touch blush in Berry was also included which really matches my skin tone to give a natural blush which I love! Finally it came with Baby Lips in Hydrate and a Colour show nail lacquer in 'Nebline'. The baby lips has no colour so will be perfect for prepping the lips for lipstick and the nail varnish is a lovely neutral pale pink shade and something that I think I am going to love! I love that I had only paid £10 for the box and once I had added everything up it had come to £25-ish so I defiantly found a bargain!

I really like the way they packaged this box and presented it as it makes it appear exciting to buy and I spotted the box right away and wanted it! 

Hope you enjoyed this blog comment and let me know if you have tried any of these products!

London fashion weekend!

For the past two years one of my most favourite things about september is London fashion week, which is then followed by London fashion weekend. This is an open event for the public to shop and buy products from designers at a reduced price and to celebrate the close to fashion week.

My mum and I had got tickets for 'Shop and the Lot'. This ticket type means that we are able to get the goody bag (Post coming soon of what was inside the bag!) and a ticket to shop along with a ticket to the fashion show.

Unfortunately due to the 'designer' side of the shops the pricing was a little... a lot out of my range. Despite that small issue I still had a lovely time and bought a few bits and pieces! which I will show in a later blog also.

I was so excited to go to see the fashion show as it is the first one that I have ever been too and it didn't disapoint! We were given a allocated time of 4:00 which was perfect as by that time we were tired of wandering around and ready to go. We were sat in the second row which gave us a perfect view!
There were four different 'collections'. There was Pretty in pink, Back to nature, Shape up and Victoriana. The final collection was my favourite as the patterns were gorgeous!

The host of the fashion show was also lovely and made the event really enjoyable. I had the best time ever and can't wait to possibly attend more shows in the future! They even gave us chocolate as we were leaving!

Sorry that this post was a little picture heavy but I really wanted to capture the excitement of the catwalk! Let me know in the comments what you want me to blog about in the future!
