It totally was a FABB Event!

This sunday I was invited to attend a FABB event in Birmingham! It was my very first blogger event and I was rather excited although didn't know what to expect. I met up with fellow blogger Sarah, (seriouslyshallow.co.uk) at the Chanel counter in Selfridges and from there we headed to meet another two bloggers before going to the event, Naomi ( stylefacebeauty.com ) and Laura (unlovedbutton.blogspot.com ).
    The event itself was held in the ever so trendy Custard Factory , which co-incidently I had also never been to before either. It's known as Birminghams "creative quarter" , with a mixture of shops, galleries, food places and entertainment. Somewhere where I will definitely be going back to again especially as it had Cocktail Cosmetics, which sells brands such as Sugarpill, NYX and Limecrime to name but a few. Sarah introduced me to this, and after browsing the website I fully understood her excitement with the event being held a few doors down from this. Although disappointment set in as on sundays they are closed, which just gives me a reason to go back and visit again!

My outfit for the day consisted of this little black dress from Dorothy Perkins!
Statement Necklace from Next.
Leather Jacket from Miss Selfridge
Shoe/Boots from Topshop
Bag Marc Jacobs.

Entering Alfie Birds, a queue had already formed of bloggers waiting to go into the event. Once you had signed in and shown your ticket a rather full goody bag was given and we headed upstairs to to where different brands from fashion to beauty where spaced out. Going round to each and everyone of them we were given lots of information about their products, and even better still we were handed goodie bags to trial the products as well! The generosity from this event was overwhelming!

Heres some pics from the day. Some of the products I will be reviewing in later posts, so this is just to get an insight of what the day was like!

Charmed Ivy

Charmed Ivy was the first brand I came across at the event, showcasing their range of trendy jewellery from necklaces, bracelets to head chains in great designs and colours.

MeMeMe Cosmetics

Before the event I was contacted by the lovely Tia from MeMeMe, explaining how she would be at the event, so browsing their website I was excited to see her there! MeMeMe Cosmetics sell a wide range of make up from light up lipsticks, to eye shadows to foundations in a variety of colours! On the day we were given a large bag full of goodies to try, which I will do a separate post on.

Style Edit

If you're a fan of fashion, and keeping up to date then you must check out Style Edit's website, on the day we got to see some samples of what you could buy, and the quality was just great!


Style Skin

I love faux fur, and the pieces that Style Skin had on show were fabulous. They sell a range of box style coats, gilets, fur collars and bags!


Bee Good

Bee Good showed us their wide range of skin care which uses honey from their own hives near to their home!


Stylfile

Ok, so if your a fan of The Apprentice, then you will know of Tom Pellereau already. For those of you that don't watch the show, he basically won in 2011 and now has a range of products on the market. He was really lovely to speak to, and explained his products thoroughly with demonstrations on each. I chose the S-Ped and Clipper and will review these in the next couple of weeks.

StageLine Makeup

Stage Line Cosmetics showed us their range of theatrical make up, which is especially perfect for this time of the year as everyone wheres more dramatic make up in the winter months!

Bodhi&Birch

Founder Elijah Choo was at the event showcasing the range of eco-luxury bath, body and skin care. These were a real treat, and we were able to take away samples with us!!


Anovia

We received this goodie bag from Anovia which contained, a BB cream, shower gel, shampoo and fake tan that sprays on to your legs. The prices of the products start from as little as a pound each and are currently selling out in Tescos! I can't wait to try these products, especially the BB cream, as where else will you find a cream for that amazing price!!!

Also at the event you were able to have your hair styled for free by Toni and Guy, a facial by Crystal Clear skincare and enter competitions by uploading selfies and tagging in the relevant brands.

Overall with it being my first bloggers event I was over the moon to be invited and had such a great time, Im already looking forward to the next one!!!
