Tweet A week or so ago I posted on the Smashbox Click You’re It photo event in Manchester – this is a chance for people to pop along to a Smashbox counter and have their make up done and have a set of photographs taken by one of their pro photographers. I went along to a session in Boots Trafford Centre and I thought I’d share the results and experience! Firstly the Smashbox counter in the Trafford Centre (one of {Read More}
Tweet It took a while for us to get backstage to see celebrity make up artist, Rachel Wood do the make up for The Clothes Show 2011 catwalk (using Benefit products), but despite Mr Security Guard getting all No-no-no, it was so worth it. Backstage is crazy no? So many half naked young gorgeous models running around, mixed up with celebrities and dancers. But I was there to take a look at the make up!
Tweet It was a last minute idea to go to The Clothes Show – the last time I went was about 6 years ago, as a student and I spent time randomly mooching around all the shops. I was offered a set of tickets, so I took myself, Mr C, Megan, 11 years old and star of YouTube, and Faye the teenager aged 17 to the event. Primarily, my reason for making the 2 and a half hour drive was {Read More}
Tweet Tucked away in a row of pretty buildings, just a few minutes walk from Baker Street tube stop is The Session School, the place for people who want to launch a career in make up, or pick up new skills. They train in both hair and make up, and all of their teachers are seasoned professionals who have decades of experience and impressive portfolios. I had a 2 hour make up lesson with the founder, Dani Guinsberg who has {Read More}
Tweet 2011 IMATS (see 2010 IMATS photographs here) was busier than ever! Whereas last year there felt like there was more space to move around, this time it was busy busy busy! There were lots of different brands to peruse this year, Make Up For Ever, Inglot, Sleek, MAC, Yaby, Illamasqua etc. and as always, lots of different counters selling make up brushes! I didn’t purchase much, some bits from Make Up For Ever and brushes from Hakuhodo, which are {Read More}
Tweet I had so so so much fun last week when I was invited by Pantene to meet their spokesperson, Cat Deeley at The Savoy, to talk about hair, beauty and generally get fed and pampered. We were talking Colour Protect baby! Pantene’s newest range has 7 products, Smooth Shampoo & Conditioner, Volume Shampoo & Conditioner, Colour Seal Concentrate, 2 minute Damage Rescue Treatment and Instant Nourishing Shine Spray. So the event was held in the Royal Suite in The {Read More}
Tweet A week ago I was invited, along with the slightly nutty lovely Jane from British Beauty Blogger to the Boots HQ, Boots Plant, Boots World – whatever you want to call it – in Nottingham. Inside the factory: A few things before we start – a. It was really cold b. I didn’t make my first train c. I sat opposite the toilet on the train I did manage to get on to and spent the whole journey shutting {Read More}
Tweet I’m heading off to London town today as I was asked to be a panellist for the IABUK Social Media Forum Event (Internet Advertising Bureau UK). The event is way to help UK marketers make sense of how to talk to consumers using social media, and myself, Mr Holy Moly (read his site, it’s hilarious) and Ewan MacLeod from Mobile Industry Review will be on a panel, answering questions about how we like to be approached and spoken to {Read More}
