Belle F Beauty Bloggers meetup

Events

belle f beauty bloggers meetup

Hello dolls! I’m happy to finally say there’s just one more sleep left until my first bloggers meetup. Over the past couple of weeks, myself and a friend have put a lot of effort into planning the perfect way to end the year.

Unfortunately some of the bloggers I’ve met since I started blogging will not be able to make it , but for those of you who will be coming, here is what tomorrow will bring:

First things things first, the address is Dakota, South William Street, Dublin 1

If you get stuck feel free to send me a tweet as I will be at my phone the whole day…

It will start at 4 pm and the first 20 to arrive will get a goody bag! So make sure you get there on time! On arrival, you will get the chance to catch up with other bloggers and meet with new ones.

After that we will have three guest speakers (with breaks in between of course!)

Of the three, the fabulous Aoibhe Devlin will speak to us about her experience in the world of blogging, and how she The Secret Obsession Blog became as popular as it is now.

Cloud 10 Beauty, who have also sponsored the goody bags for the event, will be in to speak about their Christmas box set and last but not least, Fiona Bourke will be telling us all about her fashion journey and how what started as a hobby is turning into a successful business.

There will be a raffle in the evening and we have some lovely spot prizes from Buff Day Spa and Cloud 10 Beauty so remember to get your tickets throughout the day.

To keep everyone energized (we will need it believe me), KOH Coconut have provided us with a GENEROUS amount of coconut water (I have half a litre every day and I still can’t get enough of it!)

Non coconut lovers can have Aloe Vera Drink instead, and finally (yes there’s more!)  they have also given us a few beauti shots which is new to the market- Can’t wait to get my hands on those…….

I’m not a complete health freak so it won’t be a complete health feast! The nibbles and munchies will assure you of that! I’d rather not announce the dessert now as I’m very excited to try it myself, it’s probably one of my favorite desserts in the world – to say the least.

I think I pretty much covered everything! If you have any questions let me know! Also I finally found my outfit after roaming around the street of Dublin for 3 hours yesterday (it was worth it!)

Look forward to seeing you all and I hope you all like the illustration of me by Holly, I think it looks amazing  don’t you?

Yes to Cucumbers Daily Gel Cleanser

product review/ Skincare

yes to cucumbers

Hello there! Hope I’ve given you all enough time to enter my giveaway, I have 2 mini Aveeno hampers and some goodies from Make Up For Ever up for grabs! Check out the details here.

Before I hit the cot, I’m going to give you my feedback on Yes to Cucumbers Daily Gel Cleanser (yet another product I received at Samantha’s bloggers meet up!)

This product was kindly given to us by Paul from The Cosmetic Outlet (he has amazing bargains on well-known beauty brands), it was one of the products I used almost immediately after going through my goodie bag at home.

My initial thoughts on the Yes to Cucumbers cleanser was that it smelled great and it’s extremely gentle on the skin.

However, the question is, what were my thoughts after I used it a couple of times?

Well to answer your question, nothing changed! I quite like this product to be honest with you, here are my pros and cons:

Pros:
1. Affordable (less than €10)
2. Soft scent
3. Didn’t irritate my skin
4. No oily residue
5. Paraben-free

Cons:
1. It doesn’t foam up (not quite sure if that’s a bad thing, but I like foam!)
2. No travel-size option for this product (if you’re anything like me, this will be a problem!)

Other than that, I think it’s worth trying out! Generally Yes to Cucumbers is for normal to sensitive skin, Yes to Carrots is for normal to dry skin and Yes to Tomatoes is for oily to combination skin (all the details are on www.yestocarrots.com)

Hope you’re all well, I know it seems as though I’ve disappeared for a while, but I haven’t (believe me!) I’ve been quite busy planning my first bloggers meet up (it’s starting to look very promising) so to make up for my spiritual presence, I’ve decided to give away 2 mini Aveeno hampers (that I made myself) and two Velvet Finish Compact Powders by Make Up For Ever! (ohh generous!!)

About the products:

Mini hamper 1: Aveeno Derexa Soothing Emollient Wash (200ml) with Dermexa Soothing Emollient Cream (200ml)

Aveeno’s Dermexa range are suited for people who have very dry skin as their products are formulated to gently cleanse the skin without drying it. Worth up to 20euros, this hamper would be absolutely perfect for the winter time!
