#BloggersFestival 2015

Whenever I hear the words Scarlett London and event I instantly get excited. On the 5^th September 2015 Scarlett put on yet another fantastic event called #BloggersFestival in the heart of London at the Conrad London St. James.

I went along with fellow #cambmeetup bloggers Pippa, Lauren and Emma and met the lovely Marisa on our way there. When we arrived the event was a hub of activity, with Bucks fizz being served and lots of treats to nibble on. I was blown away at the amount of brands packed into the room and their gorgeous visual displays showcasing their products.

From bloggers to brands, everyone was so friendly and excited which made for a fantastic atmosphere. I had a good long chat with the girls from Mode media (I may have chewed their ears off a bit- sorry!) and got lots of helpful tips and information on blogging.

I was particularly taken with Jewellery Box’s enchanting display of gorgeous jewellery, set off with twinkling fairy lights and rustic boxes. It was absolutely stunning and I love the rustic packaging too! The team were very friendly and happy to tell me more about their products. Their aim is to bridge the gap between fine jewellery and fashion jewellery, making it affordable and accessible to everyone. I can definitely see me picking up some gorgeous pieces for myself as well as presents for Christmas.

Another beautiful display came from Nanshy. Their cruelty free make-up brushes were insanely soft and beautifully presented. These high quality yet value for money brushes give you the precision application you need whilst being very user friendly. I've since looked at the prices for their brushes online and they really are reasonable! Everyone should treat themselves to these beauties and I’ll be sure to do a review in the future.  

I soon found myself indulging in the Bee Good beauty products where they were offering hand massages. Heaven! Bee Good have successfully  harnessed the skincare benefits of honey and brought out a premium range of beautiful products that make us look and smell great whilst looking after our British bees. What’s not to love?

Another exciting brand to attend the festival were Bare Minerals. I’ve heard lots about this brand in the past and all good things but had yet to try it out for myself. With an oily complexion I’m always rather dubious about what I use on my skin but after speaking with the advisors, I was introduced to the Matte SPF 15 Foundation. It was incredibly lightweight on the skin and helps to control excess shine and absorb the oils from your skin. I also loved their lipsticks, I mean how gorgeous are these colours!?

Other fantastic brands were present too. Bon Prix who I’d met previously at Scarlett’s SL Bloggers bash earlier in the year (read about that here) were there with lots of goodies to giveaway and a fun mannequin to dress up in your favourite outfit. There was also Lego, Toad Diaries, Small man media plus more all ready to chat to you and give you exciting info.

As well as chatting to the brands it was lovely to catch up with my blogging pals and make new ones in between the various competitions, selfies and product testing.

All in all it was a fantastic event, one which I came away buzzing from. Scarlett yet again threw a fantastic event and I cannot wait for next years! I also want to say a huge THANK YOU to Lix Hewett for allowing me to use her images in this blog post. She really captured the event beautifully so make sure you click her link to see more images from the day along with her other design and photography work.
