The first ever Cosmopolitan Blog Awards were held at Sketch in Mayfair, London.
The venue was filled with major talent of the blogging world. We chatted with the lovely Fleur de Force and GemsMaquillage while browsing Collection 2000 cosmetics.
Surprisingly, the range is really good quality especially considering that 95% of their products are under a £5 each.
Perhaps a lot of the success and direction can be attributed to Collection 2000's Creative Director and Top Make-up Artist Athena Skouvakis.
Athena and I have known each other for many years so it was absolutely lovely to bump into her and catch up as the last time I saw her I had just had Lily (6 years ago).

Congratulations to all winners. Strangely, I will leave you with pictures of the toilets in Sketch. We were astounded by the design and sheer sparkliness. Be sure to click on the image of the Swarovski crystal woman to appreciate just how spectacular she is.
NOTE: I can assure you that I don't usually hang around toilets taking pictures.
that's not a place to be in when your way past inebriated and or hallucinating. :S Just saying. :)

ReplyDeleteHahah, the bathrooms are beautiful.
Congrats ladies. I love the piccies of the the toilet! What a classy venue. Hope you had a fun time ;o)
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't receive first place this go round, next time we vote more!
ReplyDeleteLollipop? I like her blog and subscribe to and enjoy her YouTube vids and channel...buuuuuuuuut, that's not where I'd go for say a tutorial on an eye look or how to choose a foundation. Maybe I don't really grasp the definition of 'Beauty Blog' since I would consider Laura's more of a 'What's new in makeup?' blog. Oh well, next year.
ReplyDeleteI think this was more of a popularity poll... and I hate how it turns into those. I voted for you guys, and even though I still love Laura's YT I prefer your blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ladies! You deserve every bit of success. Lovedddddddddddd those toilets!

I absolutely love your blog so I'm giving you guys an award at my blog. Come check it out! :]
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I love Sketch, although £60 for afternoon tea is a bit much. I tried to take my friend there recently, and she said 'maybe five years ago sweetheart'. Apparently it's seen as grotesque now. It's a shame, the tea is fantastic!
