#ABBM’s latest meet & swap haul!

Hello everyone I hope that your week has been going well! As I am typing this post I can see my dog Bonnie outside; she’s sunbaking! :) The weather is getting cool now so it’s probably warmer out there than in my unit…

On Sunday some of the ABBM (Adelaide Beauty Bloggers Meetups) crew caught up at a delightful cafe, Dunks & Unley, for brunch. I’d never been there before but will certainly return; it’s a cafe as well as a furniture shop and so charming! They specialise in Polish food but have a range of things to choose from, including some yummy looking desserts.

Here are a few pics that I snapped inside the cafe:

Isn't this vase pretty?

I ordered Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon – it was the best Eggs Benedict that I’ve ever had!

Sometimes the ABBM meets have a theme and this time it was a swap meet. We each brought along items to swap and there were so many goodies!

A fellow attendee, Kitty from Miss Kitty Charms:)

(I took the photo a bit too fast so I've fixed Kitty's hand :) )

One of the things that I picked up was a ninja makeup bag from Sakura – thank you! :) Isn’t it cute?

Here’s a glimpse of some of the lovely things that I received within my ninja bag – which included an O.P.I polish, Canmake blush, and a Kiehl’s lip gloss. Reviews on these products to come soon!

It was nice to catch up with everyone as always. :) For those who picked up products that I brought along, I hope that you enjoy them! I am very keen to try the different products that I took home!

This week I have a few more review posts planned as well as a gradient nail art tutorial. I hope that you are enjoying my posts and feel free to comment as I like to hear from my readers! If you haven’t already, pleaseĀ  don’t forget to vote for me in the Best Australian Blogs 2012 People’s Choice round! (The other part of the contest in which judges from the Sydney Writers Centre reviewed all blogs entered is now complete. Unfortunately no beauty blogs made it as finalists! :( Good luck to those who are in the finals; there are some amazing blogs in there! :) )

What is your favourite brunch food?
