A little over three weeks ago (I can't believe how late this post is -
apologies!), I attended the KISS Summer Party on the roof of the
Merchant Hotel in Belfast. I was invited by the lovely ladies at Alex
Silver PR and I just HAD to say yes!
I've only ever been to the Merchant once before for afternoon tea with
my mum, so I was excited about the prospect of an evening blog event
there. It was actually my first ever blog event too. I find them hard to
come by here in Belfast!
When I arrived, I met Hannah from Hi Baby Blog outside and we
ventured in together. Hannah and I have been friends on Facebook for
quite a while now and despite living in the same city, we had never met.
It was so lovely to meet her in person and
she is just a doll!
The whole event itself was amazing from start to finish. When we
arrived, we were greeted by the beautiful Danielle from Alex Silver PR who
asked us to sign in and we handed a drink straight away - you can't go
wrong there! We were also told to help ourselves at
the bar for the remainder of the event - something that every Irish
person likes to hear!
We made our way onto the roof terrace and there were stations to get
your KISS eyelashes applied and KISS or imPRESS manicure nails done. I
spotted the wonderful Paddy McGurgan at an eyelash station and I had to
have him apply mine for me! As I wear glasses,
I don't ever apply false eyelashes as I never really saw the point.
Would anyone notice them behind my specs? Because of this, I had no idea
what style of lash would suit me so Paddy chose a style he thought
would work well and oh my goodness, my opinion on
false lashes changed instantly. They were incredible and I've
definitely found a new love.
| Excuse the wide eyes due to my lack of glasses but seriously, how amazing are these eyelashes? |
As there were quite a lot of bloggers there and I had to leave an hour
early, I unfortunately didn't get a chance to have any nails applied. I
did however try some from the goody bag (I'll chat more about that
below!) we received when I got home. I chose a
KISS pair and you can either apply them with glue or sticky tabs - both
are included in the box. I opted for sticky tabs as I thought they'd be
quicker and I was really surprised by how strong they were. How great
do they look?
The KISS Summer Party was so much fun and I loved mingling with new
bloggers who I was only familiar with online. There were waiters
floating around handing out lots of fantastic food from burger sliders
and fish and chips to bruschetta - the fish and chips
were divine!
Meeting the PR team and finding out more about the KISS brand was really
interesting. They are a US brand which has recently brought their
products to the UK market. I think they are absolutely fantastic, even
for a busy mum like me, so I can definitely see
them being a huge hit! Who knew that there were so many different styles of lashes and nails?!We all left with a fabulous goody bag packed with nails and eyelashes to try at home. I do have some other blog posts lined up where I will focus on some individual products so keep an eye out for that!
Thank you for inviting me, Alex Silver PR!
