HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONYA LOVES MAKEUP!

WOW! My blog turned 4 yesterday. It doesn't feel like it's been that long.

My blog was something that I started randomly. My friend Stevie (one half of the velvet epidemic) was actually the reason I started blogging. I'd wanted to start a blog for a while, but just never did it. Stevie had started up a blog of her own and gave me the confidence to go for it. So this blog started as a place for me to share my passion for make up. It has since become somewhere for me to share a whole lot more. It's a very big part of my life that I love very much.

EVENT: Paul and Joe

Hey guys and dolls,

Last week I got to go and check out some products from Parisian make up brand Paul and Joe. I’d never heard of this make up brand before. But that’s no surprise there, because I tend to stick to specific brands. As you may have come to know if you've read my blog for a while that I don’t change up things very often. But unbeknownst to me after doing my research, I had seen some of their products via other bloggers. In particular the lipstick with the kitten head.

Constructive Criticism

Hey guys and dolls,

What makes a good blog? It's always something I've been curious of. Because there are blogs I follow and wonder why they don't have way more followers. I'd love to know what people's opinions are on what makes a good blog?

NUXE blogger event

Hey dolls,

*WARNING THIS IS GOING TO BE A PICTURE HEAVY POST*
(But there is some writing so do carry on scrolling)

At the end of May before the bank holiday I was lucky enough to attend the NUXE blogger event.

To be honest I hadn't heard much about the brand before attending, but as a blogger you see bits and bobs here and there, but nothing I'd taken in for content. But the whole evening was very informative. We got to try some of the products that were sprinkled around the event.

As its a french brand the whole event had a parisian theme, it was really nice and the atmosphere was really calming/welcoming.

The word NUXE comes from a mix of the words "Nature" and the french word for luxury "Luxe". Nuxe is all bout using the natural goodness that the earth provides in their products.

 They had this lovely fountain at the event which had a few NUXE beauty items scattered over it.

They had some tasty nibbles, more specifically the famous Laduree macarons. But I think the tarts were the best.

I got to meet the lovely Charlotte Du Jour who illustrated the NUXE images that were placed all over the party. She also signed some posters for everyone, which I still have happily all packaged up cos I don't wanna ruin it :)

It was a lovely evening and I found some good products that I would like to try out in the future. 

I fell in love with the Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm, it smelt so good I wanted to eat it. It was so good for my lips, very moisturising.

Keep an eye out for a review on the products I got from the goodie bag.
