The folk at Arnotts Project want to make sure all festival goers are fashionably attired and made up while enjoying the music over the weekend so they have decided to open a pop up store at this years EP!
This is good for three reasons….
Reason one: They’re bringing some trusty make up artists from Benefit who will be on hand giving free make overs and consultations (Don’t forget to try out the new Material Girl loose powder – It’s fab !)
Reason Two: All visitors to the pop up boutique will receive an Arnotts Project wristband which will give them 20% of their purchases when they visit the store in the Jervis Centre before the end of September!(savvy or what???).
Reason three: They’re bringing along lots of great brands including Junk Food, Superdry, Retro Rehab, Addict,Hunter and Bailey so if you fancy some downtime you can always indulge in a little retail therapy!
You’ll find the ‘Pop Up’ store beside the Body and Soul area at Electric Picnic.
