Slug & Lettuce on North John Street in Liverpool City Centre has today become one of only four bars in the UK to be home to a beauty vending machine.

The Beauty Vending Machine dispenses an array of beauty essentials, the machine has been unveiled to coincide with the party season, as the City Centre venue prepares for its busiest period of the year. Situated on the corner of Cook Street and North John Street, a melting pot of Liverpool City Centre neighbourhoods as The Cavern Quarter meets The Seven Streets Quarter and The Pride Quarter.

The vending machine launches with a series of products which have been chosen following interviews with guests and is home to one, bespoke product by a makeup artist which won’t be found anywhere else in the UK.

Makeup artist to the stars, Armand Beasley, has created a 50g size pot of his award-winning Pro Body Glow, especially for the Slug & Lettuce Liverpool vending machine.

Armand Beasley, said: "I absolutely love the idea of the beauty vending machine coming to the rescue of Slug & Lettuce guests who need a bit of a beauty or grooming pick me up on a night out. I’ve been a cruelty free makeup artist and beauty expert for many years now and I’m delighted that my multi award-winning Pro Body Glow has been carefully selected to go into the machine in Liverpool."

He added: "We’ve created a special 50g size pot just for Slug & Lettuce, so that guests can experience our 100% natural high shine nourishing multipurpose balm on the go. It is so versatile that it can be used on the lips, legs, cheekbones and for reinvigorating the appearance of tattoos."

Becky Southern, Head of Marketing at Slug & Lettuce, said: "We’ve seen beauty vending machines in airports and shopping centres, but never in bars, so it felt like a clear opportunity to add something special for our guests, so we asked them what they thought."

She said: "Liverpool guests loved the idea of having makeup vending machines on hand to top up their makeup on a night out. We selected products based on these interviews, but there’s also the option for us to easily change the product ranges too, as the seasons change, and guest requirements change. We’re really pleased to be launching in time for Christmas so that party goers can glam up and be ready for those unexpected drinks after work during the festive season."

Becky, said: "The four trial sites, including Liverpool, will give us a clear steer on what exactly guests want from the vending machine and how we can work with brands to make that happen. We can’t wait to hear what the people of Liverpool think."

The beauty vending machine will be rolled out in the coming weeks at three other Slug & Lettuce venues across the UK as part of a test phase. Then a decision will be made on whether the vending machines will become a permanent fixture at any more of Slug & Lettuce’s 78 bars nationwide, as part of its ‘Glam Squad’ Project.

To celebrate the launch, Slug & Lettuce Liverpool will be holding a makeup masterclass on the 17th of December, where a local makeup artist will be demonstrating each of the products in the machines. Guests are welcome to join from 4pm and enjoy a free glass of prosecco.

Prices for each individual product start from £4.95. For more information and to book a table you can visit Slug & Lettuce Liverpool's website.
