nyLDNmeet Event
(I wanted to get this post up last week but after one thing and another and then out this weekend I have only just oft the chance to get my laptop out).
So firstly I have to say a massive thank you to the girls that ventured out in the horrible weather and headed to London and made nyLDNmeet happen. Also the amazing MooGoo brand and representatives for choosing our event as their first UK launch of their makeup line Dusty Girls. Also our wonderful team of hair stylists from FordhamSoho that were on hand to fix hair after the walk through the wind and rain and our wonderful beautician from Urban Pit Stop offering relaxing massages and manicures and our henna artist to offer a unique design for our bloggers to show off days later.
We also had the lovely Vix Meldrew bring along the Stella & Dot range for a trunk show which again went down well with our bloggers. I saw lots of pictures being taken when passing and I was lucky enough to be "blinged"up by Vix with a gorgeous necklace for the event.
So the venue, Bittersweet Soho. It offered our bloggers the opportunity to access a members only cocktail bar and experience and taste the delights of their bespoke cocktails. Not only could they try out the cocktail they had to offer but many of our bloggers had the chance to make their own which from reading other blog posts went down well.
So at the very start of planning this event we decided that our chosen charity would be Look Good Feel Better. This amazing charity provides skincare and makeup workshops with beauty volunteers within hospitals and cancer care centres in the UK.
The workshops gives cancer patients the ability to regain a sense of control of their lives and gives them the opportunity to look and feel more like their "normal" selves. Being with others that have gone through the same enables the patients to be at ease and enjoy and laugh during the workshops making friendships with others.
I have witnessed the harsh reality of cancer and as a women I cannot begin to feel how they must feel when what you see is not what you used to see in the mirror. I have learnt and been taught growing up that beauty is skin deep.
With the generosity and support from brands such as Toni & Guy, ProBlo, Billie X Shoes, Dorothy Perkins, W7 Cosmetics and other PR companies we were able to get together some amazing raffle prizes. With our bloggers being very generous towards the raffle tickets we raise an amazing £175. Therefore a huge thank you to everyone who donated.
We hope our raffle winners liked and enjoy using/wearing their prizes. We look forward to reading your reviews (and we will ensure that your review post is passed onto the relevant people at the brand). As many of you know, we have decided to carry on planning and organising events due to the feedback we received.
