The Press Tent Event 30/11/15

Last Monday I attended #thepresstentevent which was a lovely event held by The Press Tent in Manchester's Northern Quarter at Yard & Coop (a really nice fox-themed restaurant). I really enjoyed the event and had a great time catching up with blogger friends and meeting new ones! 

There were lots of little brand stalls including Rock on Ruby, Artsynibs, Nickyrockets, Liquor 43, Depop, What Emma Did boutique and Jennifique beauty. Dom and Ink was also there, and he drew me another lovely illustration, and he also has a new collection with Rock on Ruby which is amazing so go and check it out! I picked up a few bits which will be appearing in videos and on the blog soon! 

I also had my nails done in purple glitter shellac by Jennifique Beauty at the event and I absolutely love them! I also got a quote written in Calligraphy by artsynibs, and lots of free nibbles and sweets! 

I had a great time at the event and it was great to see loads of brands that are usually online-only. Most of the brands were run by fellow bloggers too! 

If you're a fellow blogger, I'd highly recommend signing up to The Press Tent as the event was really good, and the organisers were so lovely and helpful! They also gave me a code for a free UBER ride which was a great taxi service - I'd highly recommend them! 

I also came away with a Blogger's review box, which I'll be unboxing on my Youtube channel tomorrow, although you can see a sneak peek in the picture above! 

Big Thanks to The Press Tent for inviting me to the event!! 

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

Charlotte Tilbury magic foundation 

I've been using the Charlotte Tilbury magic foundation now for around a month, so today I'm sharing my thoughts on it. I use the shade 2, and set it with the Charlotte Tilbury powder in shade 1. As with all Charlotte Tilbury products, the packaging is beautiful, and the products are very high quality. 

The foundation is a medium to full coverage depending on how much you use, and gives an even coverage without looking heavy. It covers blemishes, redness and dark circles well and doesn't cling to any dry patches. I apply mine with a brush (as that's what Charlotte Tilbury uses) which works really well, but I've also tried it with a beauty blender, which gives a lighter coverage. 

There are lots of different shades, and when you order online they send you 3 samples to ensure you have the right shade before you open the bottle, which I think is a great idea. Pale foundations are really difficult to find, but shades 1 and 2 of this foundation are probably the best I've found for pale skin. 

This foundation lasts all day and I very rarely need to touch it up. I set mine with the powder, which is a beautiful finely milled setting powder that mattifies without adding dullness. Sometimes I need to touch up my powder after a few hours, but this is normal for me with any foundation or powder, and I find that this lasts a lot longer than any of my other foundations. 

If you have any skin problems, this foundation is great for coverage and is long-wearing. What I really like about this foundation is the fact that it looks so natural whilst still giving good coverage. It's quite expensive, as with all Charlotte Tilbury products, but I'd say it's definitely worth the money. 

If you haven't tried the magic foundation yet, I'd highly recommend getting a sample or trying it at one of the Charlotte Tilbury counters. If you're unsure of what shade to buy and you can't get to a counter, I'd recommend ordering from the Charlotte Tilbury website, then you can get the samples and try them at home before opening the foundation. 

Have any of you tried this foundation? 

Awful weather.

UNIF Caleb sweater 

Topshop black joni jeans 

Dr Martens boots 

Topshop coat 

I'm so sick of this awful weather! It rained ALL weekend, so apologies for the indoor photos with bad lighting! I used all my studio lights but because it's so dark outside they're still dark! Anyway, this was just a casual outfit for running errands, I'm wearing my new favourite UNIF caleb sweater, and my Topshop coat from last year as it's super warm and it's too windy for an umbrella! (I've linked a similar one above - this years version).
