Colours, Cocktails & Face Masks

A few weeks ago I was invited along to an evening of colour by Colour Elements featuring the Body Shop at Castle Galleries in Princes Square, Glasgow. This was my first every blogging event so I was very excited to be included and to meet fellow Glasgow bloggers…put some faces to blogs. Also the Colour Elements concept sounded very fascinating and was eager to learn more.

The evening started with Elanor and I getting ready in our work toilets-Princes Square is notoriously fancy so we both wanted to look our best. Colour Elements had asked us to share a selfie as we were getting ready and we were all too happy to oblige! When we arrived at the venue I was struck by how pretty it was. Having never been to Castle Gallery before- admittedly I never knew there was even an art gallery in Princes Square-I was amazed as the beautiful and colourful artwork covering the walls. It was the perfect setting for a Colour Elements event. I would definitely go back for the sole purpose of getting a better look at the artwork as there was some amazing pieces-including art from the amazing Bob Dylan.

So what is Colour Elements? At the event it was explained that each person can be described by one, or a combination, of the four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Air. This label is based on a mixture of complexion, hair colour, eye colour etc. and in theory narrows down the colours you should be wearing in order to accentuate your natural beauty. This was demonstrated to us by a mini fashion show and I have to be honest I think it works. We all can say we put colours on and think they are just “not us”, Colour Elements gives a guide to narrow down the colours we choose to wear. This way is much better for our bank balance if you are like me-I probably only wear a fraction of the clothes in my wardrobe. We were all lucky enough to receive a quick consultation and given our elements. I am 70% air and 30% earth. This means that the colours associated with air should be my main focus but I can have small splashed of earth colours. After downloading the Colour Elements app, where you can create colour charts, I was astonished to see that the colours I should be wearing were mostly my favourite colours so it works! 

Also at the event were representatives from The Body Shop launching their new range of face masks! They were also providing consultations on skin types and which face masks to use. I was informed about multi-masking and was given a lovely free sample of three of their masks. You can read all about them in my previous post about a pamper session at home here. 

Of course a good blogger event is not complete without some amazing refreshments so thankfully Zizzi’s were on hand with an awesome range of pizzas, dips and breads! They all tasted fantastic and yes I did try them all! Also on offer was cocktails from Sugar Dumplin, an amazing Caribbean themed bar and restaurant also located in Princes Square. The cocktail was amazing I had two-even though I was possibly allergic to the pineapple juice…oops! We were also treated to yummy cupcakes from Snuggle Muffin which were all colourfully decorated to match the theme of the night.

I have to say it was an amazing event. I loved getting to meet fellow bloggers and of course finding out my colour element. Since the day I have used the app when shopping and picking out clothes. When I feel good in what you are wearing it really makes me feel more confident!
