Blogger Meet up and Charity Raffle 6th October 2013
08:00
Hey everyone!
As mentioned in my last post I went to a blogger meet up last Sunday! It was arranged by Aisling at Total Make up Addict to allow us all a catch up and to celebrate the end to #SBBC a monthly event dreamt up by Girl Friday Beauty Blog.
It was great to see so many familiar faces and to meet some more new bloggers! These meet ups stop being so scary after a while and everyone is so welcoming.
We were all treated to goodies by some extremely generous brands which I am extremely excited about. Thanks so much to the following who have kindly introduced us to their brand. Some are new to the Irish market and some are favourites already!
We also had a wonderful woman called Catherine talk to us about a range of natural beauty products called Surya Brazil. I am all about keeping things natural especially with my sensitive skin so I was amazed at the lengths Catherine went to in order to bring this brand to Ireland. Well done to her because I would love to see this brand grow. They launched here in June and have also got a range of Henna hair colouring that I am totally going to review for you all!
Lastly of all the speakers I was most fascinated with Niamh Martin, The creator behind Nima Brush.
We also met the owners of FX Make up who specialise in special FX make up brands like Kryolan and also the owner of a new Irish brush range called UR Brushes.
I was lucky enough to win an amazing candle from Marie Reynolds. Beauty Emporium kindly donated this candle as a prize and I couldn't believe it as I have been lusting after this for a while.

Niamh launched Nima this time last year at the Professional Beauty show. Happy Birthday Nima! In that year the success of the business has grown tremendously! They use only the highest grade of synthetic materials and are free from animal cruelty! The brushes are just the best quality and feel lovely on your skin. They have every type of brush you can imagine and are already launching their third collection. SHHH... It will be called the Miami Chrome collection... Head to the website for more information!
Niamh gave us a tutorial using brushes from all collections to show the multi purpose function of the lines. She also gave us all a Nima Mitt to add to our collections. All will be revealed shortly!!
We also met the owners of FX Make up who specialise in special FX make up brands like Kryolan and also the owner of a new Irish brush range called UR Brushes.
The last section of the night was a charity raffle for the Irish Cancer Society. Of course I jumped at the chance to support. We have just come to the end of a cancer battle so I felt compelled to donate!
Great night with great company! Thanks to everyone involved!
