TOWIB Beauty Bloggers

Hi Tory,

On Saturday, February 11th, I went to The Only Way Is Blogging's fashion and beauty blogger meet-up at the gorgeous Montague Hotel in London for a really rather fab day of meeting fellow bloggers and finding out some incredible information on how to blog successfully and properly. (Yes... I know you're in Lambeth and my friend Diane is in Ealing, but I still had the 'flu and I was SHATTERED at the end of it, so no visits... Bad me.)

Apart from being able to talk makeup - my favourite subject! - I met some wonderful people who I know I'll be staying in touch with. Hayley did a FANTASTIC job organising the event and I can't wait for the next one! I also got to meet the lovely Karla Powell, who is the official makeup artist for MUA! That was my SQUEE moment of the day. :)

We had a frenzied and fun activity of breaking the ice by running around the room getting as many URLs as we could, to encourage us to get the chat and bonding going. These are just some of the ones I managed to scribble down, but the full list should be going up soon on the Facebook page. :)

MUA Deco Chrome Eyeshadow Look

Hi Tory,

Part of my last mini haul was the gorgeous shade #26 from the MUA single eyeshadows' range... it's this beautiful eau-de-nil colour subtly shot through with gold that just said Art Deco to me, so I got to thinking...

My joint favourite building is the Chrysler Building with all those wonderful, soaring chrome chevrons, and I adore the fashion drawings of Erte with the vamp ladies in their watercolour Deco tea gowns. So these were my inspiration for this stylish and pretty Deco eye - all made with MUA, so kind on the pocket! I ended up wearing it to Bloomsbury for the TOWIB meet-up (a room full of makeup bloggers all chatting happily about palettes - bliss!), and I paired it with a strong berry lip and fairly dramatic blush.
