Bloggers Meet Up

Events

As you know, the event was supposed to take place at 4pm in Dakota on South William Street,Dublin. However, when I arrived with event planner Christelle Matonto, the manager told us that he knew nothing about our event at all (words can’t explain how I felt when I heard that) apparently the person dealing with Sales & Marketing didn’t communicate anything to him at all so we were basically sitting there with all our load, ready for an event and no venue at all (it was horrific!)

He said the closest time he could give us to set the place up was 3:45 but even then he couldn’t guarantee us the area we had left a deposit for 5 weeks prior to the date – disgraceful

The place was packed so we couldn’t really have the event anywhere there.

I left Dakota thinking it would be a nightmare trying to look for a venue as I didn’t know who was going to take us in at such short notice…..

Luckily for us, the staff in Lost Society were kind enough to take us in with all our load so we had time to set the place up before everyone arrived. They actually saved us , I really can’t thank them enough.

They had a great little place for us and everything, it was perfect! (much better than Dakota)

Moving on to the fun stuff……

Despite our little hiccup with the venue I think the evening turned out quite well. The place was decorated with coconut water (I felt like we had a years supply of that) and aloe vera water as well(absolutely hooked on that stuff now!) I’m so grateful Mark from Koh Coconut was able to provide us with everything.

There were 17 of us, which meant that everyone was able to get a goodie bag provided by Cloud 10 beauty. Each bag had four beauty products, a mini mirror and a €5 voucher to use on www.cloud10beauty.com.

They also had a mud mask from Anatomicals, a voucher for a free mini facial in the Buff Day Spa, a sign up from Boots and one free raffle strip.

Giovanna from Cloud 10 Beauty was the first guest speaker. She shared with us some fabulous beauty products from their site,one of which was a real techniques brush set available only from Cloud 10 beauty. They even offered us a set to use as a spot prize (too kind!)

Next up was Aoibhe Devlin from The Secret Obsession. All I can say is – WOW. Her talk blew everyone away. Aoibhe didn’t hold back on anything at all: she was honest, funny and really well spoken. Her advice yesterday was just invaluable to me, delighted she was there. Thanks again chick!

Through out the evening, everyone had lovely cheesecake bites provided by Cheesecake Dublin on South William Street. We had vanilla flavor and nutella as well, they were both amazing and staff in Cheesecake Dublin are just so kind!

Raffle winners!!

Elisha from Always Time for Tea won the Real Techniques brush set – lucky her! and Marlene from Everything Coco Chanel won the voucher for an hour session on any treatment in Buff Day Spa (very kind offer!)

All in all, I thought everything turned out well in the end, I mean who knew it was possible to find a venue at such short notice!

Anatomicals Farewell the Scarlet Pimplehell Deep Cleansing Mud Mask

product review/ Skincare

As you may or may not know, enhancewhatsyours.com attended her first bloggers meetup last weekend organized by Samantha Johnson over at All The Buzz. I must say that this meetup was very well organized and I’m delighted that she got such a positive response from it (well deserved)

We all know, I like my facial masks so it should be no surprise that the Anatomicals Mud Mask was one of the first things I jumped at (after the Yes to Cucumbers cleanser of course….) when I finally decided which of the fabulous products I will be reviewing first (such generous goody bags we each got! I’d say I have a years’ supply of product reviews there! (no joke)

So back to Anatomicals Mud Mask…… I guess I will start with the things I liked about the mud mask:

Anatomicals Mud Mask was not very runny so I found it quite easy to apply
It is 100% pure clay and only takes 15 minutes to dry
I managed to get two masks out of the 15ml and still had some product left
It washes off surprisingly well (you wouldn’t think your face felt like cement only seconds before)
IT IS NOT BLOTCHY! (probably the thing I liked the most about it) there is nothing worse than a mask that leaves you looking all blotchy!

As you can see, this product sits very well on the face. Then, you leave it on for 15 minutes and (I think my expression says it all….)

What I didn’t like about Anatomicals Mud Mask:

Although the packaging is cute, I don’t like the fact that it’s in a sachet (especially if I plan to get 3 uses out of it)
It seems like this product is targeted for a younger audience so I wonder if it’s something I should be using at all??
Is it just me, or does anybody else get annoyed at the fact that capital letters don’t exist with Anatomicals??? (I find is so annoying!)

So what’s my final verdict:

I quite like my D.I.Y facial masks so this product is something I wouldn’t commit to using all the time, I probably wouldn’t mind using it on my lazy days. Also, a few people seem to have a problem with the scent of this Anatomicals Mud Mask, but I actually quite like it. Last but not least….a euro a sachet, need I say more? 🙂
