Gorgeously Green 2016

One of the main reasons (other than telling you all about my fave summer reads or my fave days out) for starting this blog was a document the beginnings of my natural beauty journey. Long story short - I have very bad combination skin. One day it's oily and I've broken out in spots. The next my eczema flares up, and I spend all day itching flaking skin. I am currently on steroid creams and antibiotics to try to clear it up but I'm sick to death of feeling awful to look good. I want to feel healthy inside and out.
I've started eating more healthily, when I'm back at uni I'm going to rejoin the gym (and actually go this time). I want to feel good in my own skin for once.

This weekend (the 10th to the 11th of September) I attended the 'Gorgously Green' blogging event - an event based around green beauty - with a close friend and fellow blogger Katie (from katievibes.com).
I met some lovely bloggers, all much more seasoned than I am, who were all very lovely and on the level - I had worried that I would feel out of place but I was completely wrong. 

There were four different brands speaking; Mallow + White, Evolve Beauty, Terre Verdi and Beeutiful. All four talks were informative and made me want to buy all the products! They all smelt great - I am all about things smelling good.
I love that these brands are close by to where I live, two of these are around the corner from me. Not only am I being good for my face, I'm being good the to environment. Green beauty all around!

Freebies from the event - minus a B-balm lip-balm* that my mother wanted

Once I've got some empties from the event I will post up my reviews. I am excited to try everything!
