Yesterday I attended the Bloggers United Adelaide event down at Glenelg.

I was so excited when I heard this mob were coming to town, as I had read many a glowing report from the Sydney event and the goodie bags looked amazing. So I was totally in, no matter what, and when I saw how reasonable the ticket price was, I had to double-check to make sure I read it right!

As I mentioned, I had my new Crossroads dress on lock for a month. Thankfully, it went okay. Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact I wore a strapless bra for the first time in about 5 years and I didn't even really notice it so that's handy to know. Right as summer comes to a close, good one, Beth.

Don't worry, I changed my shoes after I took the photo.

Here's my face. Beauty blogger event, no pressure. Yes, sunglasses mark. Amateur.


There were LOADS of people there - some who I follow on Insta, some who I had met before, some I met for the first time. As Jenni from Styling Curvy said - "Who knew there were so many bloggers in Adelaide? I didn't!" We were at the beautiful Seawall Apartments in Glenelg and brands were stationed in various rooms as small groups moved through them in a speed-dating type format.

There was a range of interesting local, national and international brands - all of whom were delightful to talk with. Many of them had a strong focus on organic, natural, vegan and cruelty-free products and it was fascinating to hear a lot of the start-up reasons; "I couldn't wear make-up because of these ingredients", "My mum has sensitive skin", "I wanted something that would be effective but also long-lasting", "I am really passionate about this method of production", "This is something I really love doing".

Have a look at what I'll be talking about over the coming weeks for the Monday Make-Up Madness link up:













We also had two excellent talks; one by Jenni who NAILED IT:


 And Hayley and Lauren from Adelady who were totally cool:


Finally, GOODIE BAGS OMG. Stay tuned for some giveaways because I can't possibly use all this stuff in one lifetime.


This is the contents of just one bag. One bag of like 9 or 10. For reals.
