This post may get VERY LONG… If you saw my other Blogger Holiday post you will know that a few local Yorkshire bloggers packed up all our skincare and makeup and set off for a weekend away in a stunning cottage thanks to Sykes Cottages*. Seriously ladies and gents it’s gorgeous so go check out the 1st post for all the lovely homey pictures. After we arrived and spent a good hour or so exploring the cottage and aahhiinng and woowwwing about the place we unpacked and realised we had brought far too much of everything. Booze, food, makeup, cleansers, shoes and clothes. This was my first break away since starting blogging and gosh do bloggers go overboard, you would have thought we were leaving the country for good with the amount of crap we brought along.
To start off our little holiday we had Sammie and my Mummy cooking up some lovely Mexican grub and me & Kel pretending to know what we were doing when making BEERGARITAS, the manly version of a Margarita – in other words we threw some Coors Light and Tequila in a gorgeous jug* from drinkstuff.com along with anything else we could lay our hands on. After stuffing our faces with the amazing food and getting to meet our Holiday Mascot Derek the Piñata it was Pyjama and movie time… Queue lots of singing of ‘Do you wanna build a Snowman’ Yes we popped on Frozen, is it bad that until then I had never seen it? I love how Disney are changing with the times, how hot does Elsa look after her transformation *Twit Twoo* also love how Disney are like ‘Yeah Prince Charming isn’t what you think Ladies, beware he is actually a ne’er do well’. So after all declaring we needed an Olaf for the weekend and having a few (lot) more drinks and a sophisticated conversation (gossip) it was time for beddy byes.
So what do a load of Beauty Bloggers do when in the gorgeous countryside on a Saturday afternoon? Well they run off to Superdrug and TK Maxx to haul. Obviously. I didn’t join everyone to their trip to Kendall as it was my Mums birthday so we went for a stroll and some afternoon tea, as soon as everyone returned with all the new Bourjois Velvet Matte colours I knew I had missed out. Those things DO NOT BUDGE OFF YOUR LIPS. AT ALL. So what do 7 Beauty Bloggers and a Beauty Bloggers Mum do on a Saturday afternoon? Face Masks? Pamper Sessions? Manicures? HELL NAW – we watch the footy, that’s what we do and also have a nosey into each other’s makeup bags and drool over them. Me and Katie are both Arsenal fans so you can imagine the tension when it went to penalties, Katie screaming as I am trying to apply my liquid liner. TENSE. I am also so jealous of Katies and Sharons makeup bags, its like a highend makeup counter in their bags. So after much football and makeup talk we headed out for a quick drink in the local pubs, now this is where things get a little strange…
Tune in later this week for more… *cliffhanger music*
