Everything About Sarah..

I am so beyond late for this blog post but I just love the photos as I used my Olympus Pen and I always feel they're a little bit more top notch than the normal ones so I didn't want to waste them. I also wanted to say a very belated thank you to Revolutions in Birmingham for inviting me to their Blogger Cocktail Masterclass evening to celebrate the launch of their new cocktail menu - and even letting Nick come too! I was so happy to be invited as my blog has kinda gone down the pan so it was a good excuse to get back out there with my camera. Nick doesn't have too much to do with my blog (he probably couldn't even tell you what it was called!) but it was lovely for him to be able to come too and we made a bit of a night out of it as we very rarely get a chance to have some time together away from work. It was a simple yet lovely evening meeting other bloggers and getting to try some amazing cocktails. We all got to take it in turns to head behind the bar and m...

Late last week I got a message inviting me to the bloggers event being held by Urban Decay in Selfridges, Birmingham so Bloggers Event + Bull Ring + Need for holiday shopping = YES! So yesterday I got a early train to Birmingham with my game face on and determined to pick up some bargains before meeting the gorgeous girlies at Urban Decay.. (I'll do a seperate post on my holiday pick ups which are 99% Primark!) The small meet up was hosted by the lovely Kirsty Lo on the Urban Decay stand in Selfridges - be sure to go and say hello if you're passing by! It was so lovely as always to meet other bloggers from the surrounding areas and we got a first look at the brand new Vault, The Stock Pile which is a large collection of lipliners and lipsticks worth nearly £400 in total but selling for £180 - something else to save for ;) It gave me a great opportunity to look at and try the products as I've never ventured into Urban Decay so I'm excited to try new products...

Finally getting round to writing my post on the lovely meet up with fellow Shropshire Bloggers on Saturday afternoon at The Two Henrys in Shrewsbury! I'm going to keep this relatively short and hopefully sweet but I just wanted to take the chance to say thank you to Kirsty for organising such a great afternoon and to all the brands involved for making the goody bags so good they're gonna be hard to beat ;)   It was so lovely to meet so many people who write a variety of blogs and are from other local areas with the added addition of Charlotte from Smashbox doing a chat about the brand and Chelsea's blogging tips - I also got up there for a very quick chat about Stella & Dot and used the gorgeous Karen as a model.   The buffet provided by The Two Henrys definitely kept us going as there was so much, along with the crazy amount of Popcorn provided by Propercorn!     Stole these photos from Kirsty.. was so lovely and welcoming having everyon...

I'm a bit late with this post but better late than never, hey? Last week I went to the Smashbox Bloggers evening at Boots in Shrewsbury - it was a great opportunity to learn about the brand that I use but didn't know much about, and also to meet the other bloggers of Shropshire/Shrewsbury!  The event was held by the gorgeous Charlotte and Kate - be sure to go and check them out if you're ever shopping in Shrewsbury. They gave great tips and advise and the best way to use the products to your advantage and to make the most of your skin type and were generally fantastic in selling the range and really confident and passionate when talking about their favourite items. I've used Smashbox Mascara previously and I also have their Full Exposure pallet but other than that, I've never ventured into range as there seemed so much it was all a little confusing so the event was perfect for asking questions and getting the low down on each product and what it was...

I've mentioned Cabella a few times in previous blog posts for various reasons but I was lucky enough to FINALLY visit Dannica and her team at Cabella on Saturday night in Nottingham for their Christmas event. The team also amazingly kickstarted our fundraising for our challenge next year for Bone Cancer Research Trust (lukeandsarahs3000milechallenge.blogspot.com) by selling raffle tickets!  I was so super excited to finally see the shop in the flesh rather than on Instagram or Facebook and it's safe to say Dannica's hard work and determination was so very worth it!  From the most beautiful little shop down retro feeling walk way in the heart of Nottingham, the Cabella team do everything from Make Overs and Gel Nails, to make up school tutorials and parties in your home! The girls can offer a variety of make overs from a full makeover, or just a beautiful smokey eye... and don't forget the Velour Eyelashes! (I'm desperate to get the mirror and dressing t...
