Beautycon London 2015
So........luckily enough i won 2 tickets to go to Beautycon London today from Niomi Smarts Instagram Competition :D I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! hehe
I have never been to Beautycon, i have been to the Clothes Show but i was really looking forward to seeing something different! As i won 2 tickets i wanted to take my Sister. In fact, as soon as we arrived, she was stopped by her first ever subscriber!!! It was so cool!

Beautycon is a Beauty convention, which previously has been held in the USA in Dallas & LA. Beautycon holds talks by well known Youtubers, talks on Beauty & fashion or what evers on your mind. They have little panels where your favourite youtubers go onstage to have fun & casual talks/chats with the audience. Its a great place to bring fans, brands & creators together in one place where its all Beauty-fied and for the first ever time it was held today in the London Olympia, Kensington :)
I was excited to go to Beautycon as one of my favorite Youtubers & inspiration for my Blog was going....Niomi Smart!
If you don't know Niomi Smart, she is a Beauty, Fashion, Health & Fittness Youtuber & Blogger!
Niomi has inspired me, with her delicious vegan recipe Videos along with finding Natural Beauty Products!
I saw she posted a little competition on her Instagram a few weeks ago, so i thought i'd give it a go, got to be in it to win it and outstandingly i won????
As soon as i arrived at Beautycon, i had a little wander round & then my sister tapped me on the shoulder & said 'isn't that Niomi?' Thankfully i didn't fangirl ( honestly its hard not too :P ) I thankfully was able to get a picture with her & tell her i was the competition Winner. It was unreal!
After that, we then went on to have a lovely chat with Becky from Talk Becky Talk & Karissa Pukas! All of these girls are beautiful but are even more beautiful in real life. Me & my sis kept on saying to each other, they don't look anything like they do on Camera? I don't know if anyone else thinks that? haha
My fan girling side showed when Tyler Oakley walked past! That guy is so adorable in real life, i just wanted to give him a hug haha! He was being very lovely & polite to his fans, which is great to see :)
Now on to the Beauty-
I'll tell you how i got my hair nice,curly & shiny soft.
I woke up pretty early to get ready as i like to let my Hair air dry, especially if I'm using a Curling Iron on it.
I washed my Hair using the Faith in Nature Tea-tree Shampoo and Conditioned using the Lush Veganease. I also like to wash my Hair in Cold Water which is meant to be good for your Hair as it locks in the Moisture.
I always use Heat protectant when using Heat. I like to use the Desert Essence Coconut Hair defrizzer & protector.
I used my Remington Barrel Wand to give me some loose beachy waves. I like them to look natural & to gradually drop out during the day.
I used Coconut Oil to smooth down any fly aways & to give my Hair some Bounce and a nice glow.
And i was finished :)
There were plenty of great Beauty brands you could wonder round. I was going round asking at the stalls if they sell Vegan Products. One stall called OGX Beauty sold some lovely natural Hair products.
They are not a Vegan Brand, but they do sell some Vegan Products which contain no animal ingredients.
OGX Beauty is a Hair care company. Their products contain Exotic ingredients to the shape of their beautiful slick bottles. Products range from Argan Oil, Coconut, Vitamin B5, Cherry Shampoo, Conditioner, Masks & Oils.......
They have products specific to your Hair type whether that be Oily, Dry, Thin, Thick....OGX have you covered!
I have used OGX before as you can pick up the Shampoos & Conditioners in Boots, Superdrug etc
I have been a big fan of their Brazilian Keratin Therepy range for a while. The Conditioner especially. The Conditioner contains a blend of Antioxydent rich Coconut Oil along with Lush Keratin Protein to help strengthen & make your Hair feel Soft with an luminescent shine/glow. Its great for Curly or wavy Hair, as my Hair is wavy i tried it out & fell in love. I always have this product stocked up in my Bathroom Cabinet.
Best of all, its Suitable for Vegan. I would highly recommend popping into a Boots & picking one up to give it a go! Your Hair will love you for it!
This retails at £6.99
A very kind Woman who was at the OGX stall gave me some sample packs of the Sea Mineral Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner and the Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner.
The Sea Mineral Moisture combines a few of the Seas gems & the Coconut Water hydrates your Hair from the outside in,coating it in weightless Coconut Oil (oooooh i do love a little Coconut) :P
The Sea Mineral Moisture isn't Vegan as it contains Sea Algae, i'll give that one to my sister to try, but i will try out the Coconut Water & get back to you with how i get on with it :)
They had a few Food stalls too. I found a few Natural Drinks which i picked up. First one was this Jax Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water with Banana. This juice gave me a lovely natural Hydration & was very refreshing!! I wasn't keen on the Banana flavour at first, but after a few sips i was hooked! I wish i picked one up & bought it home now :P This Drink combines 100% natural Coconut water with fresh real Banana. really yummy! They also had a Chocolate flavour!! yummmm

Another Drink i got was a Fentimans Victorian Lemonade I have talked about the Cherry Cola Fentimans before on my Blog, i have always wanted to try the Lemonade. There was a stand by Liz Earl who were giving away Cookies & Drinks, so as i thought the Cookies may have egg in them, i went for the Drink.
This Drink was extremely sweet & refreshing, a lovely pop of Freshness! You could taste subtle Ginger in there along with natural extracts.

I am so pleased that i won the chance to go to the first ever UK Beautycon & meet so many influential people, especially Niomi & Karissa.

I really hope you like this Blog post. I know its a little different from what i usually do, but as it was a fun day out, i thought i would Blog about it and hopefully explain what Beautycon is.
I wrote this post mainly because of Niomi who is on a Plant base Diet/Vegan & sharing some of the Products that were advertising at Beautycon!
