My first impressions: i must have looked a little bit like this - :o as i walked in, it was absolutely massive! Plus it was pink and glittery, what more could you ask for?!
I think i must agree with others when they say the makeup section was way better than the actual clothes section even though it was the CLOTHES show (although i did buy a summer dress for a tenner). By the time we got there at about half eleven, there was only a couple of hours to look around everything before the show. I must mention that we went on the last day, which i completely recommend as there are some amazing bargains! The end of show offers definitely floated my boat, for example, i have read on other blogs that on Friday, the Models on nail polished were 3 for £10, but on Saturday they went down to 2 for £10 (which is pointless as they are £5 each anyway), but on the last day they were 4 for £10! If that's not a bargain then i don't know what is!
The goody bags were pretty darn good too, which i shall go onto later on when i show you everything i bought (which isn't alot, but i think i need to take more money next year!). The most popular stalls were definitely the Models Own, Barry M and Rimmel, which there was a sickening long queue for a goody bag, which we gave a miss. There was also an extremely long queue for the Lee Stafford stall, which we also gave a miss. But i did pick up a Barry M goody bag, oooh the babies that were in there. I felt a little bit like Alice in wonderland in there, i shall definitely be going next year with more money to find more bargains!
Onto the fashion show! We were sat in block E, fairly near the front so we had a good view. The fashion didn't thrill me (although not complaining about buff men in small shorts..) i must say i was more excited about the dancing, which wasn't bad at all. I filmed the dancing as this pleased me. (For those of you who didn't know, I'm a dancer).
So overall, i think the Clothes Show Live's main focus kind of went out the window a bit, as the makeup stalls were better than the clothes stalls, and the dancers were better than the fashion modelling, in my opinion.
Now onto the things i bought! Yayyy!
So here's the dress i bought for £10, which was reduced from £15. I saw it as i was walking round and i liked it, so i picked it up (as you usually do when you like something in a shop...duhh). I think it would look really nice in the summer with maybe a small belt and sandals and some accessories.
I got a glitter tattoo, for no real reason other than its pretty and its pink and its glitter. Again, what more could you ask for? You could choose your colours, and the bigger ones were £3 and the small, simple ones were £1, pretty.
I only own one Models Own nail varnish, as they're not available at my local boots (boo). They are usually £5 each, and as i explained earlier, it was the last day so bargains were all over the place and this was no exception. It was 4 for £10, and i chose the shades Copper Pot, Bubblegum, Disco Heaven and Concrete Mixer. I liked them all and i don't really have any others like them.
The middle picture shows everything i bought makeup-wise. The best thing for me was the Barry M goody bag, which cost me £10, and i was very pleased with the amount of goodies in the goody bag. The total of everything in the goody bag is £47.97, which is pretty darn good in my opinion! Inside the goody bag i got:
- Face and body shimmer powder
- Turquoise mascara
- 3 kohl eyeliners
- A glitter eye crayon
- Lip Gloss
- 2 Dazzle Dusts and a fine glitter dust
- 3 Retro nail paints
Overall i thoroughly enjoyed the Clothes Show Live and i will hopefully be going again next year!
I hope you're all having a lovely run up to Christmas!
