Pretty Stylish London - The Big Pink Pamper Party

We did it! Thank You.

2009-10-27T04:06:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday 20th October, Pretty Stylish London hosted a fundraising event entitled The Big Pink Pamper Party, in aid of Cancer Research UK and to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness month.

We managed to raise a respectable £425 for charity and it was a fantastic night of cocktails and cupcakes held at the Glam Bar, On Anon. There were manicures and brilliant prizes, not to mention a rather indulgent goody bag of treats. Bloggers and Tweeters came out to support the cause and with the help of key sponsors and contributions, the night was a great success. Photos from the night will be posted shortly.

The event was jointly sponsored by Glam Media and Precious Magazine, whilst the pampering treatments were provided courtesy of The Simply Fab Company:

Each guest is given an indulgent 30 minute beauty treatment and presented a Breast Cancer Awareness pack and a goody bag containing gorgeous pink treats. 20% from the total sale of party will go to Cancer Research UK. Each Pink Pamper Party will raise a minimum £50 for Breast Cancer Awareness.
