Wet & Wild's Summer Launch Party

Hi guys!

So last night I went to my first ever event as a blogger, eek! I didn't expect to get this post written so soon but the past few days in work have been completely dead for me. The event was the launch of Wet & Wild's Summer makeup range, they had some new products and some old favourites in new shades.

So I was super nervous to go, as this was my first ever event and I didn't know what to expect. I also arrived alone which I think is a bit nerve-wrecking even for the most experienced of bloggers. The even took place at a cute little studio on Bond Street in Dublin 8. A lot of people had trouble finding the location, but I actually work on the next street over so for me it was perfect! From the outside the location looked like an old warehouse, but inside the furnishings were modern and chic. The event room was decorated beautifully in a tropical theme and you could tell that a lot of effort had been put in to make this event perfect! The lighting, music and decorations were all perfect and the atmosphere was so inviting and fun. The DJ actually deserves a special mention because girl every song that came on made me want to dance! I didn't, for everyone's sake.

I arrived promptly at 6 and for the first half an hour I just walked around, swatching lipsticks, taking a few photos and generally being awkward. I soon settled in though and got chatting to some other bloggers who had also never been to events! Everyone was so friendly, I only wish I could have talked to more people - but there's always next time! As you can see from the picture there were super cute cupcake shaped refreshments and drinks were flowing on the night too. 

The makeup itself was stunning, with a clear theme of colour running through the Summer collection. Much to my excitement, they have added new summer colours to the Megalast lipstick range (see my last post for my lipstick of the week ft. Megalast). They had a stand with just about every Wet & Wild product and I literally wanted every lipstick on there. At €2.99 a pop I think I will have to invest! There were also new nail varnish shades, new mascara formulations and some totally new products including a primer and most importantly - brow products! The girls from Publicity Loft were really friendly and helpful and informed us about all the exciting new pieces!

At the end of the night we received a super generous Wet & Wild goodie bag featuring both old and new products. I couldn't believe how jam-packed they were. I will definitely be filming a haul and swatch video on these bits so keep an eye out for that! I actually have none of the items that I got in my goodie bag so I am thrilled to bits with everything.

 

Overall I can say that I really enjoyed my first brand event. Like I said, I wish I could have socialised more but I think that will get easier as I go along! I want to say a big thank you to Wet & Wild and to Publicity Loft for organising such an amazing event and for having me! I couldn't believe the generousity and the effort that went into this event and I only hope my next event will live up to this!

Keep your eyes peeled for a video featuring all of my new Wet & Wild bits and thanks for reading guys!
