Hey Lovelies, if you didn't see already I posted the first part of the Sheffield Blogger Meetup here. In today's post I'm talking about the goodie bags and raffle prizes.
We got amazing companies involved for the raffle so we could raise as much money as we could for the charity and also so bloggers could get prizes that were something they would use. The brilliant companies that got involved with products for the raffle were:

A big thank you to all these companies for sending these amazing prizes!
I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous Vivienne Westwood ring from Silvertree, I was in such shock that I actually won the raffle and got this amazing prize. The owner of Maveli, Jan from Look Good Feel Better and one of the ladies from Lush won the other rings which they all deserved as they worked hard for the meetup.

A big thank you again to all the companies involved for the event, goodie bags and raffle, Jan from Look Good Feel Better charity and all the bloggers that came to the meetup.
Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day. Me and the lovely Heather and Georgina organised the #SheffieldBBloggers Meetup on Saturday and it turned out amazingly and we all worked really hard and the bloggers loved it. I had so much fun organising it and getting amazing brands on board for the goodie bags, Me and Heather had college and work and managed to get a lot of brands on board in just over a month. There will be two parts for the blog post as there is too much to talk about for just one post, in this first part it will be about the day and tomorrow will be the goodie bag and raffle prizes.
The event was held at a South India Restaurant called Maveli, in the city centre and it was a beautiful cosy little restaurant. The owners were very kind and lovely and did a taste experience with a variety of plates of Indian food which was so delicious and some of the foods I had never tried before. We all then applauded the chef for his amazing work with the food.
As soon as bloggers were arriving we all welcomed them and gave them their goodie bags so they could have a good noisy through them and then go and talk to other bloggers. We didn't want a big event that's really crowded and so it was small and intimate, we invited a small amount of bloggers so they could chat and get to know everyone.
We had Lush Sheffield and they had a gorgeous display of lots of Lush products and especially the Christmas products. The three Lush ladies that came were all really lovely and friendly. They all have a passion for Lush and were very informative. They also offered arm massages and bath bomb making, Georgina gave us a master class on making bath bombs and I made my own robot bath bomb that is very cute and a love a good Lush bath bomb in my bath.
We wanted to do a raffle and donate the money from it to a charity, as soon as we heard about the Look Good Feel Better charity, we all knew this was an amazing charity and we wanted them involved. The charity is for women and teenagers who have suffered from the side effects of cancer and through the use of cosmetics they give them confidence. The women have masterclasses for using cosmetics and given a Confidence Kit, which includes 19 products donated from brands that helps women feel more confident and makes them smile. Jan has been working for the charity for 19 years out of the 20 years its been running and she was so lovely and very passionate and gave us lots of information on the charity. We raised £250 for the charity from the raffle and donations from people at the event, which was amazing and I'm so proud of everyone who came and helped raised that much money for such an amazing cause.
Kim from Boudoir Salon Sheffield is a HD Brow trainer and she was also at the event, she was offering bloggers the chance to have a HD Brow Treatments and also showing us the art of threading and give us lots of information on brows. Lots of bloggers were crowding round wanting their eyebrows doing and Kim did an amazing job and all the bloggers were happy with the results. Wish I had got the chance to have mine done but never mind.
We had Costellos Cakeaway come and this was a highlight of the event for most bloggers I think and the room went so quiet when they came. The people from Costello's talked about the company and how they deliver to your door and all the different types of cake they have. All cakes are reasonable priced between £2-£3. We all got the chance to taste some of the cakes and then buy some if we wanted. Every blogger loved the cakes! Just looking at these pictures are making me drool and they were the yummiest cakes I've ever eaten.
As a whole the event was really chilled and the bloggers were able to look through the goodie bags, talk with other bloggers and able to use Georgina's wigs and fancy dress to take lots of pictures with other people. Just as the event was finishing Flurt a frozen yoghurt shop from Sheffield, came with some sweets and discount cards for the bloggers.
The day went brilliantly and all the bloggers had an amazing time, a big thank you to all the bloggers, companies and Jan for coming and the owners of Maveli for letting us hold it there. Tune in tomorrow for what was in the goodie bags and raffle which you won't be disappointed with.
Hey Lovelies, hope your having a good day, sorry for not posting last week and not much this week so far, I've had a lot going on and some of it tough that's why I thought I would do this personal post.
Images are from Google.
I'm not going to go into much detail on what happened as it is quite personal and it involves other people and I'm not ready to share. We all have those tough times and we think they won't end but they will.
I find when I'm having a tough time I focus on the negativity and that's what makes it harder to get over it and you need to focus on the future and the positivity otherwise it will make it harder and longer to get over it.
Not being on your own will help, I always find being around people or distracting myself helps take my mind off it and have a better time which can make you feel better otherwise if your on your own you will over think and focus on the negativity of the tough time.
When your ready talk about it with other people, they can help you see a different perspective on the situation and they can help make you feel better.
You will get over the tough time, we always get through them it can take time but you will and sometimes looking back on situations you will not think it was that bad in comparison to other situations you've had to deal with.
We are all strong enough to get through any situation we are put through and we all have to go through the bad and good in life.
Hey Lovelies, hope your having a nice weekend, I've got a review for you today on the Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss and Lip Colouring Pencil in Feisty I won these in a twitter giveaway a while ago but I've only just got round to trying them out as I've had quite a few products that I have been testing out but thank you to Illamasqua for them.
These are the first Illamasqua products I've ever tried and I've been so impressed with them and will definitely try more products of theirs.
I'm a big fan of liquid eyeliner and prefer them over gel and pencil eyeliner and this Abyss Eyeliner is liquid and the application is so easy, it has a thin felt tip that you just dip into the pot and you can create thin or thick lines and a cat wing so easily. The eyeliner is very pigmented and applies opaque and glossy, which lasts so long I've worn it for about 10 hours before and it didn't budge till I took it off. It does say its waterproof but I haven't really tried it out to know if it is. The packaging is thin and sleek, so its easy to just pop into your bag. This has been my go to eyeliner and have been loving wearing it. The eyeliner is £20.
Feisty Colouring Pencil is a gorgeous brick red shade, it is easy to apply and not harsh when applying over your lips and isn't drying. You can wear the lip liner alone or with a lipstick, I've been wearing this lip liner with MAC Russian Red its a beautiful combo that I have been loving wearing. It lasts really well on the lips and is very pigmented and opaque. This liner is great for wearing a red lip and stopping the colour from bleeding. The packaging is also sleek and fits easily in your bag. This lip liner is £15.
Thank you again to Illamasqua for these products.
Overall I love both these products and would highly recommend you buying them if your on the look out for a new eyeliner or lipliner.
