Visit to P.Louise Beauty Academy

P.Louise is a relatively new brand but is super popular at the moment, particularly with pre-teen and teen girls.  It is very pink (think Barbie on steroids) with really clever packaging and product names.  The make up is pretty good too.  Visiting the Academy is basically skincare and make up heaven for anyone who loves their beauty, I'd be lying if I said the mums of the girls visiting the academy weren't squealing in delight (at least inwardly, sometimes outwardly) at the sight of all the products, all of which you are able to test before you buy.  Cue a hand and an arm and whatever other body part you might have free on which you will have tested every lip, cheek, and eye product in the entire place.  It is such good fun.

We had purchased a special ticket that enabled us access to the Academy, an ice cream, a fan (which we could decorate) and a little tote bag, which we also had fun decorating.  It's extremely well organised in there, if you want to eat you have to book a table in advance and unless you do book a table there's nowhere really to sit, so you are on your feet a lot but you hardly feel it because being amongst all those products is so distracting you can't feel your feet anyway!

I bought an eye shadow palette, my second P.Louise purchase and Lara bought an eye shadow kit which was beautifully packaged and a cream blush.  It would have been very easy to buy a lot more but I stopped myself and Lara had been careful with her pocket money!  

To say much more would be a spoiler for anyone who is wanting to visit.  We did the Summer Escape experience but I know there is a Christmas one coming which I can imagine is going to be amazing.  This is a brilliant day out for anyone who loves playing with make up, not just teens but us older girls too!  I'll put a reel of photos  on the @thepalettepage instagram page so you can see what it's like.

Love Maria
