Make up Show Live ( at the cumberland hotel marble arch)

If you could just go back in time, ( when the angels were singing, violins and harps in the background) lets say, to around a month or so ago, when I was ranting and raving about "the make up show live" event that was going to take place on the 26th August at the plush " Cumberland Hotel" in marble arch, OK, stop right there, let me break it down for you like this, today ( yes today!) is the 26th August 2012 ( just visualise me saying that slowly! it, is, the, twenty, sixth, of, august, twenty, twelve!) it is now 11pm, in London, and if you haven't guessed already, I've been to the show already...( yesss I've been) ...errhmmmm.

I had bought a VIP ticket, ( which would've been £45) from "wowcher" which cost me £17.50 ( OK yeah) and if you were to go on to the "make up show live" website, it lets you know what you are entitled to when you buy a VIP ticket, one of those things were you could attend a certain workshops, "eye makeup master class"  " introduction to makeup" and the other thing was the "goodie bag" down below is a photo of the so called "goodie bag" and its contents...

 A White paper bag with red tissue paper inside

 

 

A Packet of eyelashes, Jane Carter's nourish & shine, The Body Shop's "Japanese cherry blossom body lotion 60ml, "The Body Shop's " high shine lip treatment, Eye Shadow brush from "mink London", and a colour pack by Natur Vital...

 

 

Really?! Really?! REALLY!

 

I mean, are they having a laugh, is this what buying a VIP ticket gets you, People have departed with £45 of their hard earned cash, only to come out with this, goodie, bag!

 

 

"what a bag of crap"

 

I was so excited to be getting this goodie bag, and was fuming when I saw its contents!

 

Believe it or not it wasn't all bad, I did attend a makeup workshop, which was very very good, and my note pad is filled with new knowledge, I also met the wonderful lady who created "gidore" Lukwesa Burak" she was giving me natural hair advice..

 

Would I go again, NO..and even though I paid £17.50, for something that would've cost £45, I think £17.50 was far to much to pay for an unorganised, event....

 

I was meant to stay until 4pm, but left at 2pm, as I was shocked to find that there wasn't even Major make up brands there, from when you don't have even @sleekmakeup, at a make up show, there just wasn't any point...

 

big huge massive let down!
