BEAUTYCON LONDON 2015

After winning tickets to Beautycon London 2015 from Company magazine, me and my friend Natt Hill couldn't resist in the 4 hour drive down to London to join the celebrations of bloggers both style and beauty! Baring in mind this is the first time i've driven out of Yorkshire, whilst also being the furthest i've ever driven I got up at 3:30AM. By 5 I was ready to go get Natt ready for the 4 hour drive.

After 4 hours, 2 wrong turns and going around the same roundabout 3 times because I couldn't fathom out which exit we needed to be to not get totally lost, we get to London fresh as daisies at 9:15AM (even though we had pro passes so we could get in at 9AM) and after another 10 minutes of wandering backwards and forwards to find a door we FINALLY got in the Olympia in Kensington and could finally get started with the day!



The first thing we did when we got there was obviously get our free goodie bag and t-shirt! So many goodies in there! (so many that they get their own blog post next..)


Our next move was straight to the NYX stall in which we had to take a selfie and tag them on Instagram to win a free piece of makeup HURRAY!


 I got a cute little lilac mascara which matches my lilac hair! Then we went to the photobooth.. and created this masterpiece #suckastrawberry such a lovely pair we are in these photographs! We're all about looking pro thats why this was created!


We then took a trip to the other stalls that were there such as Benefit Cosmetics, Stylondon, Liz Earle 


Stylondon was one of my favourite stalls because you got to create your own design or metallic tattoos with designs they had provided and once a lady had applied it for you if you took a photograph and tagged them you got a sheet of metallic tattoos! which is pretty cool really! I did a little boring one of a ram animal thing on my back.. but it got me a sheet of free tattoos and I love the design!


They also had some AMAZING nails on show I took a photo of a few to blog that were my favourite, I am definitely loving these designs and going to save up to get a few!





The black ones are my ultimate favourite, so sleek! its fair to say it was love at first sight! but they have a great range of nail beauty on their website and I've linked a bit further up so take a look at their items and the staff are great people! 

Towards the end I also met Amy Pham who is the most gorgeous human i've ever met and the loveliest (she said she loved my outfit) FAN GIRL ALERT! which was a great thing to do because the queues were SO long to meet other bloggers and I wanted to see and do as much as I could in London that day as I don't get to go down often.



And after we had exhausted all of the stalls and all the freebies we took a little trip into London which wasn't as easy as most people would think as two Hull girls in London on a tube not knowing which ways up or down and as tired as all hell, well I could write a book on our tube experience! 




PS WE ALSO MADE IT ONTO THE BEAUTYCON SNAPCHAT SO YOU MAY HAVE SEEN US :D  with this very NASTY filter! :( 


If anyone went I hope you had a smashing day and if you didn't then it's worth a view and everyones so lovely! thank you for reading and please comment with your experience of the day! I would LOVE to hear about it!

BEAUTYCON TOMORROW


If you follow me on social media, you may have heard that I won two pro tickets too Beautycon London tomorrow. I have been raking out my wardrobe to find the perfect outfit and today my new Motel Rocks palm leaf unitard came! I LOVE IT, I know it's not online anymore but Motel has a depop account on which they sell one offs for discounted price and this unitard brand new with tags only cost me £12 including signed postage! Amazing right?


Paired with my Primark fishnet socks and platform sliders (also Primark only £6 OMG) I think it would be a cute for beautycon! but I am the most unsure right now! 

I am excited for tomorrow, setting off at 5AM from Hull to get to London and I'm driving (god help me) and it's going to be such a long day. I will be posting about it all day on my Instagram if you want to follow on what i'll be doing. I have pro tickets therefore I will be doing meets and greets and getting goodiebags so if you're interested i'll be sharing it with you all! I will also be writing a blog post about my day probably on Sunday so if you want to keep up with the days events as they go, follow me on Instagram @annahodgson 


I am also debating on whether to wear my new septum ring only £3.79 from ebay! would love to know your opinions in the comments!



Thank you for reading my blog post today and feel free to comment on what you think about my blog or if you have any questions. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @annahodgson

THE PEACH VINTAGE JEANS

I can't believe I haven't done a post about these jeans yet.. These are my favourite vintage jeans in a washed out orange colour, so washed out they're more of a peachy pink now! ]
I got them last year in a sale at a vintage shop called POORBOY BOUTIQUE which is a lovely vintage shop in Hull. My particular jeans were only £3! probably seems more astounding then it actually is as luckily Hull is one of the cheapest place to live in the UK.

Anyway back to the jeans.. who needs me blabbing on about where I live!
They're mom/slouchy jeans so they're as comfy as all hell and because they are preloved they are all broken in and snuggly! I know mom/slouchy jeans are not very flattering on some figures... LIKE MINE! but who cares I love a good pair of mom jeans!


I've paired my fabulous peach jeans with my new TOPSHOP body with star nips which I caught in the sale for £3 nothing like this ever fits me right because of my stupid oddly sized boobs which NOBODY wants if any one else has this problem.. I feel ya sista! and am always open to any help which makes it not as bad as it is so feel free to comment with any help! 
I also have put in my YRU platform shoes which are gorgeous too, I just haven't got the gist of walking around on anything but totally flat ground yet!



Hope you enjoyed reading my short post feel free to comment and share! x

OO and PS the necklace and the belt are also from topshop! <3

MARKET DAY! am I the bargain queen?

Walton Street Market Hull is a market near KC stadium in Hull which I have been going to since I was younger with my nan. I haven't been in years because of an incident with my nan when we went (she was almost pick pocketed) but decided to give it another go today and I was SO glad I did. 
I spent £20 in all and everyone knows how cheap Hull is for everything anyway but today topped the bill!

I firstly walked past a stall where a man was selling some AMAZING shoes, all £5!! the shoes included things by brands such as RocketDog, Steve Madden, Windsor Smith and JuJu and YRU!! As you know from other posts I LOVE my YRU platform sandals, and when I saw these in my size for only £5 each I had too they're to die for! How gorgeous are they!? I couldn't say no,  I will be going back next week to see if he has anymore bargains like that!



After being SO excited with this purchase I knew I was on a role so I had a good gander through all the sale rails!


More stuff I bought throughout my day at Walton Street Market was this green crochet halter neck dress only £1! ONE POUND! so I had too! I got many £1 specials as well today such as these amazing things...

                 

Pink and purple sparkly 90's vest... £1!!


Gold and orange/red halter neck top LOVE... £1!!



Pink and orange stripe crop top.... £1!!!



Hand painted Catrina Hull Artist tshirt, unsigned... £1!!! (BARGAIN)



Pink tie back and neck top only £1!!!! 

and finally...


this gorg 90's lilac snake print dress! amazing! only £1!!!

I also bought my mum a top that cost £2 so ALL that for only £20 I was astounded and can't wait to go back next week, so glad I got over my pick pocketing fear and get up and go to Walton Street Market!

I hope to see you all there next Wednesday 8-2! (bargain central)

Thanks for reading and if you have got any bargains recently please comment on what you've got I am ALWAYS happy to read about good bargains! #BARGAINQUEEN!
