First Look Stylist Live: The VIP Edition 2025
Held at the exclusive Exhibition White City in London, this year’s Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag event introduced a new VIP-only model, elevating every attendee to a privileged status, unlike the previous standard/general-admission tier.
Workshops are also more integrated: with each ticket including a bookable seminar on one of three themed stages: Grow, Make and Create.
I was very interested to see how that would turn out.
With the “all-VIP” approach (no standard general admission tier), I felt the expectation was higher — meaning any minor operational hiccup would feel amplified.
The event was nicely styled as always, and some engaging workshops were running throughout the day that had to be booked in advance, as well as nice talks on the main stage. However, there weren’t many traders to browse and shop, and the queues for the few activities they had were painfully long, which led to me leaving much earlier than i anticipated.

Total Value of the Stylist Live VIP Goody Bag
With 12 products worth £321, this year’s Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag exceeded all expectations. It’s a thoughtful mix of cult favourites (Pixi Glow Tonic, By Terry CC Serum), luxury skincare (Medik8, Skin Cycles), haircare heroes (Goldwell, Tangle Teezer), and everyday beauty staples (Morphe, Sculpted by Aimee).
The Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag is not just a gift — it’s a year’s worth of glowing skin, glossy hair, and makeup must-haves, all curated for Stylist Live’s most devoted beauty fans.
Why The Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag Works
The Stylist Live: Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag brings a potent mix of skincare, haircare and makeup-finish products. For a bag often given at events, the presence of a £69 vitamin C serum (Medik8), a good moisturiser (Skin + Me) and utilitarian tools (Tangle Teezer + Hair Mask) means this is not just gimmick-freebies — this is genuinely worthwhile.
Each product feels full-size or substantial (rather than tiny samples), making the bag feel premium.
The Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag gives excellent value, punching well above typical “freebie” bags (which might be £30-£60 value). If you attended Stylist Live, this feels like a real treat: you walk away with products you’ll use, not just novelty items.
The mix of skincare + haircare is innovative: The Tangle Teezer handles untangling with minimal breakage (good for textured hair), and the Goldwell mask supports hair repair. The face skincare steps are strong too. So if you’re working a look, prepping for a night out, or simply treating yourself, this bag delivers.
I also won an MZ Skin Hydra-Bright Golden Eye Treatment Mask
A hydrating eye mask saturated in hyaluronic acid and collagen, infused with nano gold particles. worth £22
Thus, my summary: Yes, the Stylist Live: The VIP Edition Goody Bag is a winner.
