As you know I went to the Clothes Show on Friday of last week thanks to the lovely people at the Hair Ideas Mag who were giving away tickets on their twitter page and I was lucky enough to win. This post may be quite photo heavy... I didnt take a lot of photos in the actual place because I didnt take my camera with me (like an idiot) so I just took a couple of photos on my phone.

Now I did film a video on Friday night with all of the things I brought at the clothes show and then put them all away in their lovely new homes. However I never thought to look and check that the video was not seriously zoomed in and you could not actually see anything I was talking about so I scrapped it and your just going to have to make do with a run down of the days offers.

A lot of the stalls were doing amazing offers and of course when you see amazing offers you have to take advantage of these offers. I have not been to the clothes show before and I was really excited to go, I spent the moment I won the tickets to the moment I went reading blogs of people who had been last year and got more and more excited about what I was reading - not about the clothes - I mean as a plus size I didnt figure there would be much for me on the clothing side, but I was excited to find they had a Beauty Hall too!!! Here is a quick run down of some of the offers  that I saw/picked up :)

• Models Own - This stall was absolutely AMAZING!!! It had every single shade of nail polish that models own do. They were 3 for £10 and then you got a fantastic goody bag which contained a pencil liner, a lip liner, liquid eye liner, 2 eye shadows, a nail buffer and some cute pink scissors (I think that was everything). I brought 2 of the Clothes Show Exclusive polishes - "Showstopper" and Bubblegum which is a bright pink colour! 
• Rimmel - Rimmel had 2 goody bags on offer. They were priced at £10. I went for the Glam Rock one which contained a Scandel Eyes Mascara, A 1000 kisses Lip Stain, An Eye Shadow Trio and 3 nail polishes. The other one contained the same products just in different colours, it was more neutral. 
• Lee Stafford - Lee Stafford had a stand which contained all of their products. Apart from the new Aragon Oil range the products were 3 for £10 or 4 for £12. You all know how much I have been loving Lee Stafford recently so I went for 4 products and got 3 of the Hair Growth shampoos and another one of my beloved treatments. I went back later and got another 4 things (because it was such a good offer) and got another 2 shampoos (everyone needs shampoo),another treatment and mum got a wax. 
• Sleek - Sleek had lots of offers going on, their palettes were 3 for £20 and a lot of their products were 3 for 2. They also had an offer of a goody bag which was £10 and it contained a palette (I went for the original palette), a lip gloss, a set of false eye lashes and a highligher/contour palette.
• So! - They had 3 goody bag offers, a £5, £10 and a £20. I went for the £5 which contained a lip gloss set, some body sprays and 2 dry shampoos. 

I then went past the Lee Stafford stand again on our way to the Fashion Theatre and spotted a queue of people! On closer inspection we noticed this was for the offer we had read about online - 10 products for £10! We quickly got in the queue and were quite near the front! The bag contained 10 different products including a spray, a conditioning treatment and 2 serums from the bling range (a blonde and brunette one) , 2 fake tans (in light and dark), a poker straight treatment, 2 of their body sprays and a tail comb! I mean I wouldnt have particularly brought them all but I am willing to give them a go :) I then got to meet Lee Stafford who was hanging around the stand :)
We then went into the fashion theatre which was FAB! Here comes the photos:

Overall it was a really fab day! We went into Birmingham after to have a mooch but we ended up just going to get something to eat and jumping straight back on the train because it was so busy!

I will be blogging about the products that I brought once I have had chance to use them properly so keep your eyes peeled for that :)

Did you go to the clothes show this year??? Which stalls were you loving?

I could absolutely not believe it. It was completely by chance that I had RT'd the link that one of my friends had retweeted and I was having a really crappy day at work... Usually on my lunch I dont go on my phone at all, it just sits on the desk all day feeling sorry for itself and I usually read my book on my tablet. Last Thursday however something happened before dinner and I was a bit annoyed/sad/didnt feel like reading so I went onto my phone and browsed twitter! So I was SO excited when I got home to see this tweet to say I had won tickets for the clothes show!!!


I absolutely can not wait to go!!!! I am taking mum with me (because I wouldnt take anyone else - she is my BFF) and we are both really looking forward to it! I am sure I will be event more excited when the tickets come and we book the train tickets!
I actually wanted to go to the Clothes Show and I very nearly booked tickets! I shall be tweeting,  instagramming etc on the day and of course blogging about it but I just wanted to share my exciting news with you!!!

I am also currently saving up to IMATS which is the 22nd and 23rd June! Again I am so excited for this!!!

Have you won anything on twitter???
