Usually when I attend blogger events they’re based in London, so I was pretty excited when I was invited to an event last week that was pretty local to me. The lovely people over at Atelier Salon and Spa invited me and a few other local bloggers over for an evening of pampering and to take a look at their range of products and services. Atelier is based in Redbourne, about 30 mins away from me, but I’d never visited before so wasn’t sure what it was like. So when I arrived I was surprised that it was based in this gorgeous old building, and all the rooms were filled with gorgeous little details – making me love the place already!
I arrived with my usual event sidekick Bex, and another great blogging buddy Louise, and then we met up with Sarah, Hannah and Emily. We were then all given these peach bellini type drinks in cute little jars, and some delicious canapes. Then we were shown around the salon, where we then all split off into different rooms to look at the different treatments.
Bex, Louise and I started off with skincare, where we all had our skin analysed and were recommended products that would help our skincare problems from Pinks Boutique, a brand I’ve not heard from before but they all smelt amazing! Then we moved on to another room where Sarah, Hannah and Emily were getting their nails done, and we all got a hand massage. I then had a look downstairs where I then got my hair done in an up do, which is something I don’t usually have so it was nice to get the chance to try something different!
We then met up with the rest of the girls and had bit of a natter before we went off. It was great fun to spend an evening with some local bloggers, and have an evening of pampering. It’s great to see what a local salon is offering, and I’m even tempted to take another visit myself!
Thanks so much to everyone at Atelier Salon for having us, and to Alastair from Pickle PR for the invite!
I originally planned to put all of my favourite products of 2013 into one big blog post. However when planning and taking photographs I realised there was just far too many products to include so decided to break it down into a mini series. I wanted to start off with hair products as this is…
So here’s how my day went on Friday: 15:00 – Realise that Glamour magazine is giving away free Nails Inc nail polishes 15:02 -Grab coat and run to the Spar over the road in search of Glamour magazine 15:05 – Have shop assistant tell me they don’t stock Glamour magazine (what? Why?!) 15:09 – Arrive at the SU Spar…
A few weeks a go I was spending far too much time in Boots, looking at make up I didn’t need, when I came across the new Maybelline Color Drama lip crayons. I have hundreds of lipsticks, but of course I needed these. I stood for ages swatching away at all the shades, but one…
One of my all time favourite things to buy at Lush is their facemasks, I think their wonderful. There’s nine different ones to try out, all for different skin types. Normally I tend to stick to Catastrophe Cosmetic when I buy one, as that’s the one I’ve found to help my skin out the most so far….
Over the past year I’ve found myself turning to more ‘high end’ foundations, with MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid and Clinque’s Even Better being a couple of my favourites. Now that I’ve tried a few high end foundations, I can’t see myself going back to a high street alternative. The application, the coverage and the exact colour match is just…
I’ve always loved photography ever since I was a little girl. I just loved taking photos of things, and then learning how to edit them on Photoshop, and just generally looking a good photographs other people have taken. Back when I was at college I did an A level in photography, and whilst doing it…
