A few months back I got invited to my first Lush blogger event, which was super exciting because I definitely don't count myself as much of a blogger, YouTuber, instagrammer or whatever! It's not too hard to get invited to one of these events, as long as you have a blog/ instagram/ YouTube with a following of any amount that you post to frequently... I'm sure you'll be considered!
How to get invited to a Lush blogger event:
I can't actually tell you how to get invited, each Lush store probably has it's own criteria, unless you are Lush or Internet royalty though, you probably won't be lucky enough to be invited out of the blue! Make sure you keep up-to date with your local Lush stores social media page and eventually they'll post about a blogger event! All you have to do is email, say a bit about yourself and your blog! That's it! (I'd probably throw in about how you love Lush though!) - I can't say for every Lush but at the blogger event I attended you definitely didn't need thousands of followers to take part!
Who goes to Lush blogger events?
Again... I can only speak from experience but the variety of bloggers at the event I attended was massive! There were a lot of Mum blogs who all seemed to know each other, a 'Local Area' blogger who blogged all about stuff going on in the town and even some music bloggers! Obviously, there were lots of beauty bloggers, I actually felt really awkward as I didn't actually write a blog at that point... just my 'Lush' Instagram account and my 'ohnozozo' YouTube!
Are there freebies?
This definitely shouldn't be the reason you go to a blogger event but... yes! There was free cake! We also got to pick a product from the store to take home which was really nice!
The event I attended was actually in February/ March time and believe it or not it's now July... luckily I made a YouTube video of the event I attended! (See viddy above!) Honestly I feel like that would explain it better than I could now... just know overall it was a positive experience, I was made to feel very welcome and very at ease! As it was a blogger event it meant I didn't feel awkward whipping my camera out every five minutes to take pictures and videos, which was lovely! I am still very much an awkward blogger/ vlogger who often tries to hide the fact I'm filming!
I would 10/10 go again and would definitely recommend you to email and put yourself out there if a Lush event like this is in your area! It can be scary to put yourself out there (I know... I didn't put myself out there and my friend actually emailed for me!) but the reward is well and truly worth the risk! You could potentially meet some new blog buddies!!
