Last weekend I attended the infamous ABBW (Australian Beauty Bloggers Weekend), an event by two of my favourite beauty bloggers Jacie and Kimmi π These two girls were absolutely amazing, pulling off an event this big is no easy task, these girls deserve a massive pat on the back π
Instead of being a good blogger and going into depth over the weekend, I thought I’d be lazy and do something quick and simple and share with you all my photos from the event! π
Violet and Shizuka on the way to our hotel π Our flight was a total debacle! It got changed to an international flight, then boarded us 30 mins early, then got delayed for over 1 hour!! π
View from the hotel room!
Presents waiting for us in our hotel room :O So sweet!!
We didn’t get any lunch, but it was already getting close to dinner time… so we decided to get ice cream instead π Logic FTW!
View of our hotel on the walk back after dinner~ π
The day of IMATS! Saturday π Check out Tina workin that sign ;D
Official meeting point, I mean.. Jacie has arrived!
Inglot palettes and booth π Soooo crowded!
Unii Palette counter! I’m so in love with the new colour range!! Too bad they had none available at the time, I will def place an order when they become available online π
Upstairs in the Royal & Langnickel lounge area, especially provided just for the ABBW crew π Drinks, food and a place to sit were Godsend at IMATS π
This is pretty much IMATS, so big yet so small π
Afternoon talk by Beauty Directory π Such a useful site~
Dinner Gala time hosted by Maxted Thomas π I’ve been working with these guys for some time now and they always take such good care of us <3 π
My place at the table, so weird seeing my name and blog name on place cards :O
Some mingling with the PRs, some great upcoming product launches in the works π
With the lovely Lilit from Makeup and Macaroons and Sara-May from Makeup by Sara-May, they are so much more chic and beautiful in the flesh π
Last day of ABBW, photo with Clare from CClare Bear, Kimmi from the The Plastic Diaries, me, Jacie from You’ve Got Nail and Violet from Violet Le Beaux!
I finally got to meet Anita from Love Vulcanella and Michelle from Cosmetic Cupcake :O These ladies are super sweet and friendly, not to mention gorgeous π
Got to meet Jamie from Miss Chew and see Megan from Beauty in the Sky again just before we left for the airport! π
Last couple of photos of the Face of Australia master class, the MBBE girls (and guy) did their best to help Tina prepare for their time to shine on stage π It was a lovely team effort, both the night before and day of the master class and it’s moments like these that make me feel very lucky to be part of the MBBE family π
I know all the MBBE girls who attended will be posting a ton of photos, Violet will be uploading many videos as well so please check them out for more ABBW goodness π
