GLOW – BeautyCon

Dear readers,

thanks to gofeminin.de, I got two Pink Tickets for the GLOW BeautyCon in my hometown, Hannover. It was the first time for me visiting a Beauty Convention and I got I high expectations accordingly.

The first thing we saw as we arrived was masses of queues. The hall seemed very small and there were less exhibition stands than expected. The next conspicuous aspect was that every third girl was wearing an artist ribbon even when they not even looked like professional blogger, vlogger or else. My friend and I weren't really interested in the Meet and Greet section, because the acts were mostly YouTube-Stars and C-Celebrities. Actually we weren't the target audience for those Meet and Greet acts.

I expected a lot of free samples and new products to try on, but even this part of the convention was a little bit disappointing. Of course, we only got the restricted Pink Tickets, but you still have expectations. Some stands were organized really badly and some stands were just offering a makeover. I was actually excited about the exhibition stand of NYX, but even there they were just offering makeovers and a photobooth, where you also have to queue up.

Let's get to the best part of this Convention. The best exhibiton stand was from Flaconi. Flaconi is a retail store for beauty products every brand like Sephora or Douglas. Their stand included makeover stations, new products section and little store. We also had to queue up here, but they got the idea to hand out gifts, free samples and coupons. The section of DM was build up very similar and therefore good as well. We also visited the "Fun Section" with the Chupabulli of the brand Chupa Chups, where we got a goodie bag and some sweets.

I think I expected too much and therefore I think I was pretty lucky to win those tickets. I think it wasn't really worth it for me, if I'd buy those tickets. They had to organize it better, maybe a bigger hall with more brands and acts. In fact, it was pretty worth it for me and my friend. Even if we didn't get those Goodie Bags, we had a get a lot of things and a lot of discounts on high end products.

Stay tuned for the Glow Haul in my next post!

  1. Toller, ehrlicher Post - ich glaube das Event ist doch eher für die Jüngeren unter uns, die dort ihre 'Idole' wie dagi bee usw. treffen können ..

  3. Toller Beitrag und geile Bilder! Hatte via Snapchat auch mitbekommen, dass das Event auf die jüngere Gruppe abgezielt hätte, mit all den Meet&Greet Aktivitäten, was mich persönlich etwas verwundert. Dieser Punkt hätte mich als Besucher auch null angesprochen :D

    Schade, dass du enttäuscht bist, von der Messe. Mich verwundert es aber nicht, was du geschildert hast, denn sowas bin ich auch von anderen Messen, wie die Gamescom gewohnt. Ich denke es ist einfach nicht realisierbar, jedem Besucher eine Goodiebag mit massig Gratisprodukten in die Hand zu drücken. Ich meine aber, dass ausgewählte Blogger mit einer teueren Eintrittskarte (VIP) Goodiebags erhalten haben. Ansonsten hat man meist nur die Option Goodies bei Gewinnspielen und anderen Mitmach-Optionen zu gewinenn. Photobooth und Make-Over sind ebenfalls Standard auf Beauty Messen, und werden auch immer gut besucht, was die lange Schlange erklärt. Meist lohnt sich ja so eine Messe auch nur für die Discounts, die man erhält und dass man da evt. neue tolle Produkte entdeckt :)

    Liebe Grüße, Jen
