Yesterday my mom and I went to the SoSueMe Style Secrets Workshop in the Clarion Hotel, Cork. The tickets were €75, but we said we would bite the bullet and go as the both of us love Sue, her blog and products, and I have to say, it was worth every penny!
We arrived at the Clarion at 10am for registration, and on entry were given a huge goodie bag full of gorgeous products which I will go through later on. The room was set up kind of like a wedding, with the round tables and white table cloths, and chairs with white linen chair covers. There was fab music playing and plenty of merchandise for sale such as Sue's nail polishes, lashes, contour kit and vanity cases, and I just couldn't say no to buying the black and rose gold vanity case...I am in LOVE with it!!!!!
I decided to do a quick talk through of the day as I enjoyed it so much and would highly recommend anyone to go in future. The workshop began at 11am, introduced by Sue's dad (they're trying to prepare him for the wedding speech haha!)There was so much involved in the workshop, from Suzanne herself telling us all about her past careers, how she became involved in blogging and some blogging and social media tips. There were also makeup tutorials by makeup artists Sinead Murphy and Fiona McNamara, and skincare advice from Corinna Tolan of Monica Tolan Skincare and Beauty Specialists. I really found the blogging talk helpful, as I really lost motivation to upload blog posts and I just wasn't making time for it, but Suzanne has really inspired me to keep going.
Sue herself did a demo of her contour palette on her sister Katie, which was so handy as we got to see how to get the best effect using her palette. Later on in the day, there were plenty of style tips and advice on wardrobe essentials, along with a live fashion show with outfits from the highstreet. It's fair to say I came out with a list the length of my arm of different clothes that I want...including leather pants which I never thought I would wear, but I seriously fell in love with them.
The goodie bags were just to die for, so luxurious! I have attached pictures below of everything we received. Along with the goodie bags, everyone also got a VitHit and a bag of 'propercorn' popcorn. We also got a pot of Maria Lucia Bakes Granola.
Overall, the day was amazing and both myself and my mom thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Both Suzanne and her family were so lovely and down to earth and I would definitely recommend anyone to go to her workshops in the future, I know I will be going again.
