Before the event began, I popped into Frankie and Benny's for one of their infamous pizzas before heading through The Oasis Food Court to Chao Baby - a Thai buffet and bar that I had never visited before - where we were greeted with a champagne reception and an assortment of Thai nibbles before we hit the shops.
I downloaded the Meadowhall Ladies Night app on my phone which was supposed to generate additional offers and could be used at 'Hot Spots' throughout the centre as we shopped. Although this really disappointed me as I had no luck getting it to work, I still had a great night, and didn't actually feel as though I had missed out on any offers.
Most of the stores and brands had amazing discounts on, and the feeling was definitely right (excuse the pun....Ladies Night? Atomic Kitten? No?) after a few glasses of complimentary Prossecco offered by stores such as Boux Avenue and Meadowhall's newest addition, The White Company, which is one of the most gorgeous stores I have ever visited!
As a bit of a self-professed make up junkie, I was overjoyed to see that there was a Beauty Spot right in the middle of the centre with brands such as YSL, Nails Inc and Dior offering makeovers and samples, so this was where I spent a good hour of my evening. Having never tried the YSL Touche Eclait I jumped at the chance to have a makeover done with their lovely MUA Sally, and accidentally fell head over heels in love with the Gloss Volupte in shade 50 - one of their new summer collection shades. In addition to this I picked up some Kiehl's samples, a mini Dior mascara, an adorable gift bag of samples from M&S and a sample of an Atkinsons Eau de Cologne amongst others.

The evening had a great atmosphere and a little something for everyone with attractions such as Granny Turismo (brilliant!), Spin the Wheel and Capital Radio which gave the centre a bit of a buzz (if the Prossecco hadn't already done that!) and made sure I stayed a lot longer than I had originally planned to. I can't wait for the next one... although my bank account probably won't be too pleased!

I definitely need to go to the next one of these. I live in Sheffield so I have no excuse!
