SOSUEME Workshop. My Experience

Hi guys, I'm sorry I've been away for so long but i had a lot going on including a family bereavement so its took me a while to get back into it, but anyway im back and have a few posts ready for the coming weeks. yaaaayyy :)

Anyway, recently I attended a workshop hosted by Suzanne Jackson from sosueme.ie. She is Irelands top blogger and is absolutely gorgeous. Both Personality wise and looks wise. I have followed her blog for the past few years and always admired her style, confidence and can do attitude, also her product reviews are always on point if there's a good review on her blog then its pretty much a guarantee that im going to love it. Anyway, long story short as soon as i seen her Instagram post about the workshop in Sligo i had to buy tickets. The tickets were €75 each, seems a little steep but after attending it, I have to say worth every penny. I attended the workshop with a friend and we both had a fab day.

The workshop started at 11am and went on till around 4pm on Sunday 19th July. When we got to the venue we were greeted by her lovely staff and then sent to get a photo taken for her blog by her boyfriend Dylan, who was on hand all day to snap the perfect picture for her. We were then told to sit were we like. The tables had platters of sweeties for us to help ourselves, as well as our jam packed goody bags. So of course I had a root and loved everything.

These are the goody bags ;)

Then it came time for her to make her entrance and as gorgeous as ever she took to the stage. Serious Outfit envy i must say. She wore a purplish/grey jumpsuit from Warehouse, (Get It Here) and a stunning pair of the notorious Valentino rock-stud heels, (Get It Here)  but of course these are not very budget friendly, however there are a number of copies such as these ones here.

Anyhow the day began with her talking about her background and how she got to where she is today. She cam across very genuine and down to earth which made her story so relatable. She then went on to talk about blogging and how to become successful. I found this very helpful and anyone starting blogging or thinking of doing so would find this a beneficial part of the day. After this there was a makeup tutorial by a makeup artist from inglot and talk on how she got the look on the day. During this part of the day she also talked about makeup trends such as strobing. Which i have previously done a post on. Check it out here.

This is the makeup artist and sue's sister Carla

Once the makeup tutorial was done there was a short break for lunch and we were all treated to afternoon tea which was delicious and really well presented. I felt super posh haha.

Once we got back into the workshop there was a mini fashion show were she showcased a few outfits she put together from warehouse and oasis. These were really nice and gave different ideas of how to style key fashion pieces. There was also a section of the day were she talked about classic wardrobe essentials, such as a plain white shirt. There was also a mini fashion show to show how these can be styled in a number of ways.

There was also a part of the day where she talked about her favourite  products for skin care, beauty and hair and gave great tips on budgeting for quality products and shops where these could be bought at discounted prices.

furthermore throughout the day we could ask her questions at any time and there was also a free nail bar for anybody who wanted to try out her new SOSU nail polishes. Which you can buy in penneys  or online Here.

At the end of the day there were a number of giveaways and a chance to have your photo taken with sue herself. There was also a chance to buy her brush collection by crown brush (Buy It Here) and also her new book (which you could have signed if you so wished) (Buy Here). There was none of her nail polishes for sale due to them being out of stock however she was kind enough to allow anyone who wanted to try them grab one or two from the nail bar, and of course I grabbed 2 to try out.

The 2 shades I chose.
Red = First Date.
Silver Glitter = All that glitters

anyway that's my feelings on the day. I really enjoyed it and feel like it was well worth the money. I met some lovely people and of course sue herself and I have to say with just starting this blog she has inspired me to continue and hopefully become successful. Also its a change and a different way to spend your Sunday. So if your thinking of attending, I hope this has helped you and encouraged you to head along. Why not.

Bye Lovelies
