Hello all,
Trust you had a nice day like i did, though mine was a bit stressful but it was totally worth it. I was in Lagos (again!) for the Beauty press series pre-launch event hosted by Pops concepts at the Sleek square, Victoria Island.

"The Beauty Press Series (BPS)is a platform for beauty & lifestyle bloggers, editors & industry influencers to meet with beauty brands & establish a connection. BPS is a press-only beauty product showcase featuring brands providing a one-on-one opportunity to get the meet brands, those behind these brands and get first-hand information of their products and services. It’s also an opportunity to network with other like minded bloggers and editors.

BPS is designed as a quarterly event and What better way to place your brand to be considered for editorial coverage in popular and industry niche blogs and media outlets via The Beauty Press Series."

I got a personal invite from Omolola Faleye the CEO of Pops concepts who noticed that i had revived my love for blogging! One amazing thing happened at the event, i said hello to Funke of Gifty's daughter whom i met physically for the first time and she goes wait..... i know you, you are Bunmi, i've not finished o, you stay in Ibadan, wait o... you have a facebook group on beauty tutors, and yes you organize events in ibadan for beautypreneurs. I was like wow! whatever you do, just keep doing it right, people are noticing and it will pay off someday soon.

Anyway, back to the gist. So we started with an opening prayer and a "why we are here" by Lola. After which Doyin Ubani of Chloe's makeover did a presentation on her blog, how she started slowly, attended an event where she met Sisi Yemi, a blogger, got introduced to a web developer, got moore serious, and is now pullling a lot of traffic and clients to her blog and business.

Next we had 3 brands showcasing their businesses:

Makeupmaven Newyork Nigeria, Gifty's Daughter and Sleek studios.

After which we had a networking session, refreshments (which i unfortunately couldnot eat because it had snail in it which i abhor! i know i've heard i'm a bush girl. lol) and then we were given FREE products! Which i will use on myself, friends and clients and let you know my honest opinion soon.

It was lots of fun, i met new people and was encouraged to do more. I also got some products i'd been longing after. I didn't go with my camera so i don't have a lot of pictures but manage these ones i took with my phone biko.
