Make Me Up London..

So yesterday i took a trip to London with the girls from my course. Seems as i am new to the whole blogging thing, I thought this is something different to start off with. In London we went to the Illamasqua store, Mac Pro and Charles fox. Yes we spent the entire day in 3 stores. Despite the 4am alarm call, the day was pretty awesome. One thing i learned from the trip was how amazing Kryolan are, Charles Fox literally amazed me. I have never been so stunned by makeup, ever. I highly recommend everyone to check it out.

               

It was only when i started my Makeup Artistry course i learned that Kryolan wasn't just a brand providing makeup for "face-painting"-as i thought, but provided a massive variety of cosmetic products. I will admit i was a little naughty and bought not 1 but 2 lip glosses and 1 lipstick whilst on the trip but with a one day only discount, who wouldn't? . Illamasqua was also a really good experience, all the staff were very welcoming and helpful. It was very clear they all knew exactly what they were talking about and it was a breath of fresh air to not feel pressured into buying anything. However, I must admit i did feel slightly let down by the Mac Pro store.. Don't get me wrong, what was contained inside still blew me away. But after hearing so much praise for it, i guess i was just expecting something much bigger and better.. despite this, it didn't stop me purchasing another lipstick! Overall the day was amazing. Charles Fox gave us a demonstration on drag makeup, as did Illamasqua on their new speckle eyeliner look. I have come home feeling so inspired but slightly nervous about checking my bank balance. I will be sure to post reviews and pictures of my purchases asap.
