A couple of weekends ago was the second Melbourne Beauty Bloggers Event If you can remember I was luckily enough to be invited to the first MBBE event back in 2010. Well, it has become an annual event and so thanks to the fantastic efforts of Val from Ponikuta it happened again! All photos that are not watermarked by me were taken by Brandon Cook!
The event was kindly hosted and catered by Miss Fox, sound familiar? That’s the same place I was shellac-ed at a couple of months ago! It was a lovely intimate event, just a selection of other beauty bloggers attended (most were from the previous year so I knew plenty of girls there) which made it easy to mingle and have decent conversations I much prefer more intimate gatherings!
Miss Fox were kind enough to offer mini manicures and hand massages, I unfortunately didn’t indulge as I wanted to keep my hands free for cupcake consumption. Yes, it’s called priorities people!
Me with Akisa and Maddy. Maddy just had a child not too long ago and she has a killer figure! I have no idea how she managed that~ And Akisa, ahhh I could stare at her skin all day, she is absolutely amazing
Me with Kate Morris, the founder of Adore Beauty gave us a motivation speech on start ups and blogging! She really was such an inspirational lady to listen to
Val ran a bit of a trivia arm for this event, man the questions were hard!! All questions were beauty related and I seriously took a guess to virtually all of them, and yet somehow I placed second and won this little Guinot gift pack Kimmi won first prize and Emma won third It was a really fun little twist to the event!
We also got to see Jacie‘s award from Beauty Directory for Star Beauty Write (Online) of the Year! So proud of this girl She’s not only representing beauty bloggers, but making MBBE so proud!
Also if you haven’t heard, Jacie has started up her own online store and was kind enough to gift each of us with a nail file from her store, so naturally that was the first thing everyone opened up to see It was adorable!
Group photo! Sorry it’s so small that you can hardly see anyone’s face But if you’re familiar with the MBBE girls you should be fine, I’m in the very top left hand corner
After the event we all headed down to dinner, many thanks to Tina for booking the place My two table buddies Shizuka and Jess (my HT!!), and not photographed here was Emily who was sitting to my left (every time I see her I die a little from jealousy cause she’s so pretty :_: )
All in all it was a lovely event I had a great time and can’t wait for MBBE 2012! Special thanks once again to Val for being the heart and soul behind MBBE You did a great job girl, thanks so much!

Tanya says
WHEN did you hair get so long and luscious?!
Celina says
Lol, long yes! Not sure about luscious XD It’s a result of pure laziness aka can’t be bothered going to the hairdresser to get it cut
