ELF Event!

In my London write up I had mentioned that I had gone down to London and Oxford for an event, so here's the write up on that! ELF held an event so that we could have a look at the new ranges that are on the way. There's some gorgeous stuff coming!

Due to trains, buses, etc being rubbish up here, I had to travel down to Oxford the night before in order to get to the event at 1pm on the Monday. If I traveled on Monday, the earliest I could have got into Oxford was about 2:30pm.

It was lovely to catch up with Jasmine and have a good chatter about make up, Youtube and blogging! Fortunately we woke up to blue skies on the Monday! After Sunday's complete washout we had been worried about the weather on Monday, but the whole day ended up being lovely.


Jasmine had been kind enough to book her hairdresser friend to come and do our hair while we were getting ready. My only instructions were "I don't want it straightened". She created some lovely loose curls instead.

The event was held at the Oxford Malmaison Hotel which was the most amazing venue!


The hotel is a converted prison and they've kept as much of the original architecture as possible. That picture is the corridor outside the meeting room that the event was held in. I had tried to take some pictures of the room but they didn't really show just how jaw-dropping the place was. The staff were also very polite, occasionally dropping in to see if we needed our drinks restocking and dropping off a tray of the most delicious berry crumble.


Several table were set up around the room, each holding various ranges. The mineral table was very popular! A few of us sat and got stuck into the new mineral eye shadow and lip gloss shades. I'm also quite excited about the new Studio blushers. There's quite a range of colours which should arrive soon. Also, there's a new Studio brush coming out - the blusher brush. I think the line definitely needed one, the complexion brush is just a bit on the large side for blusher.


ELF were very generous and had bought some samples of some of the new products for us! The stock hadn't even come into the country yet so we were very privileged to try these.

-Studio Blusher Brush
-HD Powder
-Eye Transformer Palette
-Shimmer Palette
-Corrective Concealer Palette

I can't wait to try these out! It's been pretty much non-stop for me since I got home on Tuesday night so I haven't had chance to play yet.

I just have to give a huge thank you to ELF and Jasmine!
