On the 8th of March I
went to the awesomest of events that took place at the UPR headquarters
in Antwerp. I wasn’t supposed to go, but
when I had to for TheFashionalists I succumbed. Their invitation looked so
promising, couldn’t wait to be there ! Curious what happened at this
blogger-event ?
I wanted to be on time for a change, that’s why I decided to
leave home early. You can’t really trust the public transport here and since
I’m not yet owning a car I didn’t have much of a choice. That’s when busses and trains decide to leave
on time –’. So I got there earlier than expected, but that gave me a chance to
take my time and take a look around.
They gave us a ‘to do list’ of the different brands that organized
something, first stop was Pronails !
At pronails they had a nailbar installed, where we could
release our creativity and show our best nailart. The theme was London, so I made this nail based on the well-known
“keep calm and carry on“. They had pens
that you could use to draw on your nails which was perfect for me, since I’m so
clumsy, even a French manicure is a no-go for me.
After Pronails it was time for my MAC-session. At their
stand they showed us how to do a perfect smokey-eye, one of my favorites but unfortunately
doing a smokey eye doesn’t lay within my skills. It was nice to see their
tricks and get advice on how to do it properly!
I’m really such a huge fan of MAC, their products are so
good!
Next up : Swarovski! Lots of bling mixed with DIY here! A
very simple DIY-bracelet was the result.
Chez Illy we had to do one of the most original things:
create our own coffee can. There was a huge touchscreen and we just had to draw
whatever we wanted !
At Rituals, there were two activities. First was a stand
where we got facecharts and we could
apply makeup on them. I found it somehow really hard to apply makeup on the paper so not
a lot of luck there. Their perfume stand was more my cup of tea!
They talked about how a perfume was made, what their inspiration was
and a little presentation of their new fragrances. I’m really a sucker for perfume and I have been looking for a good one to make it my signature scent. I was so happy we could
bring a sample home! Even though I wasn’t really a fan of the 3 other scents, Vanilla Drops and Sweet Orange was
sooo good! Didn’t hesitate for a minute and went for it. Guess who found
herself a new favourite ?
Sacha had something totally different for us. We had a
mini-photoshoot where we could pose with their shoes. I have been lurking at these cat-JC’s for a while, so
this was the perfect time to try them on. Compare it to walking in flats. The
heels were huge but I bet I could’ve ran a marathon in them!
Please like my picture on facebook, you can help me win free shoes ! Just click the picture ;)
I really wanted to discover the DKNY-collection, but unfortunately
they were already gone when I got there.
Managed to take these pics before the start of the event, the colours make it look so delicious !
So in conclusion it was an amazingly fun day, discovered a
lot of new blogs to read, saw a lot of pretty things and in addition, I have a
lot of new products to try out for you !
Big shout out to UPR, you guys really pampered us like crazy
and gave us a great event, thank you so much!
Bisous,
J
