The Next Beauty Blogger Event

What a privilege to be a part of, the Next beauty event was the place to be on a cold Wednesday evening!

It was the first event I have attended and it was a joy, not only was it filled with pretty things but also filled with extremely pretty people. Being able to attend such a special event made me realise how much I actually had a love for writing about all things beautiful. The location was at Ice Tank London and it was pleasure on the eyes.

I photographed some of the lovely products that Next have to offer and they were at affordable prices too.  This was not about another big brand jumping on the beauty product bandwagon but each product seemed thought about and current. With Next's 'Make Me Beautiful' range its all a girl could want.


With blushers ranging from £8 that really shows how affordable their products are in comparison to similar products in this very expensive beauty world. You can even pick up 4 nail polishes for just £10!!! Amazing.

The sleek packing really appealed to me - It's simple, nothing over the top just modern and poignant. So what about quality? well this was backed by the amazing Lydia Millen who displayed 2 live tutorials starting with a every day neutral glowing look to a gorgeous red lipped night time glam look.

Lips - The lip sticks were well pigmented and appeared creamy in texture, fantastic quality especially for the price. Not a bad range of colours either.

Eyes - The eye pallets were well pigmented, each teamed with complimenting shades and appeared very easy to blend. You can create many looks without having to pay out a shed load and you don't have to be a professional to use them! The Brow pallets are very current as we all know that brows are so now! Luckily having matte shades allow for the natural look and a great selection to match many tones.

I could talk all night at how much of a fantastic experience it was, although not a well known blogger I felt important and seeing these great products in the flesh makes me want them all, temptation definately kicked in! I didn't get to pick up a goodie bag but they were filled with some of the gorgeous range and to be fair I wouldn't mind buying them.

I would suggest having a sneaky peak at Next's site, not only great to treat yourself but fantastic gift ideas.....I won't tell :)
