Smashbox and Bumble and Bumble Blogger Event | Cardiff





On Saturday 21st February, I was lucky enough to attend a beauty event in Cardiff with Smashbox and Bumble and Bumble. This was my first beauty blogger event so I was pretty excited. At the event we were all seated at the Smashbox stand in Boots, Queen Street while we gathered and chatted. To start of with we watched a demonstration by Bumble and Bumble where they used a number of their products on a hair model whilst talking us through what each product can do for your hair. My favourite product mentioned was definitely their All Style Blow Dry Creme - a creme for oil-prone hair which reduces frizz and creates healthy looking hair for a perfect blow dry. It even has invisible microfine oil-absorbing powders to help extend the life of your blowdry which is amazing. Following this, we were given the chance to take some photographs of the stand and their products. We were then seated for Smashbox's demonstration where Jade, a Makeup artist at Smashbox created a smoky eye makeup look on the same model. She ran through each product, letting us test each one as we watched her build up a fantastic look using their products. After the demonstration each of us were colour matched to a suitable foundation which we could add to our goodie bags. The event was really interesting, having the chance to look at products I wouldn't have previously considered buying or using as I was pretty unfamiliar with Smashbox's products. My favourite products used to create the makeup look were definitely their new Double Exposure Palette, where you can use eyeshadows wet or dry - it's actually amazing, and their new Photo Finish Primer Water, which primes the face ready for makeup application and you can also use it as a eyeshadow primer to improve their staying power. The event ran for around an hour and a half and I got the opportunity to meet like-minded bloggers who were really friendly whilst being able to explore new and exciting products from Smashbox Cosmetics and Bumble and Bumble Haircare.
