Shropshire Blogger Meet May 2015

I'm not going to lie but I was very nervous as I drove for the first time down the M54 on my own for the first time to my very first blogger meet, especially as I had only just started my blog just days before and hardly knew a thing about blogging! However, as soon as I arrived at The Two Henry's Pub in Shrewsbury my nerves were no longer necessary! I was welcomed by a room of lovely bloggers all eager to get to know eachother and we all introduced ourselves and quickly started exchanging our Twitter and Instagram names to follow each other.

The Blogger Meet started off with a talk from Charlotte from Smashbox  who talked through the history of Smashbox and handed round samples of some of their products for us to test and try, my favourite being the trio of contour sticks which are amazing and am definitely going to purchase! Charlotte also gave us all a mini sample of the Smash Box Photo Finish primer.

We then had a fantatsic talk from blogger Sarah from Everything You Don't Need To Know About Sarah who spoke to us about her new business selling Stella&Dot products and demonstrating their fascinating range of multi-purpose uses (My personal favourite being the necklaces that can be altered to suit any style you fancy!) Well done Sarah, you were fab!

We took a break for lunch and had a fantastic buffet provided with a lovely selection of sandwiches, wedges, sausage rolls and my personal favourites, mozzarella sticks! Many bags of my absolute favourite popcorn was donated by PROPERCORN and we all had a little individual cupcake provided for our pudding in a cute little polka dot box! It was so lovely chatting to all the bloggers over lunch and as a very new blogger I was overwhelmed with how many of the girls were so keen to help me and offer me advice.

After the buffet we had a little talk from a professional blogger called called Chelsea from Loving Life In Wellies who revealed to us her top 5 tips of how to be a successful blogger which, as a new blogger, was very helpful!

Our event hostess, Kirsty, had arranged a fantastic raffle where the money raised from the tickets was donated to a lovely charity called Scope. I was lucky enough to win 2 amazing raffle prizes which were a set of Strip Teas Teatox tea bags and a full sized bottle of Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.

We were also provided with the most amazing goody bag that was made up by Kirsty from Just A Little Bit Ginger  which had so many amazing products that were kindly donated! My ultimate favourites from the goody bag include the full set of Fullips Lip Enhancer cups to try and get my perfect Kylie Jenner pout, as well as the Nanshy 4 in 1 Blending Sponge. I was also super excited to see that Lush had donated my ultimate favourite Honey I Washed The Kids soap bar!! We each got given our very own set of Prairie Charms Bumpless Bobbles which are just what I need especially as I have to tie my hair up for work

I had an absolutely amazing time at the Blogger Meet and can't wait to go to the next one in September. I would like to say a huge thank you to Kirsty for organising such a lovely event!
