I was very lucky to have been invited to the #zomgbloggerbash organized by Zoe and Rockalily to celebrate hte launch of their collaborative lipstick, ZOMG! I heard a lot about the brand before, but have never tried it, so I was definitively curious to discover the products!

I arrived there knowing nobody, which is quite daunting. But the girls had organised a "blogger bingo", where each person had a card and had to find people corresponding to the description in each box. 2 full lines gave you the opportunity to be in a prize draw!

After some time, I have met a few bloggers and was at ease. The conversations started to be more personnal and not just "bingo-based"! I was really lucky to meet Natalia, who, you guessed it by her blog name, is writing a novel! She also works for a daily paper, but I don't remember which one, so don't want to risk saying stupid things! I spent most of the night talking to Rosie and Lisa, and I also spotted a few famous bloggers such as Vivianna, Gem, Lily and probably others that I don't know about but who are famous! But the highlight for me was to have a chance to say hi to Gemma from Gemsmaquillage! She's my favourite blogger/Youtuber!

There were a few stations to visit during the evening, such as a vanity with the Rockalily lippies that we could try, one to try on some wigs and take pictures, and a cupcake decorating station! How cool is that? Every blogger loves cupcakes, but it's nice to put the amount of icing and candies we want on it. And yes, we were allowed to go overboard with the icing!

Of course I got the chance to talk to Zoe, who was, understandably, excited and nervous!

At the end of the evening, ReeRee did the prize draw and I won this cute hair pin from You're Naked Without One!

On our way home, we were treated to 2 burlesque performances. The dancers were amazing, and so much body-confident! I wish I would be able to expose myself like them! It was really empowering! Unfortunately, my pictures weren't great as I was at the back of the room.

I have enjoyed my evening so much, I wish I will be attending similar events in the future!

Have you attended the #zomgbloggerbash? Have you been to any lovely event lately?

Last Thursday, as was kindly invited by Look Fantastic to attend a special blogger event at FOUR London, a glamourous yet welcoming salon in Mayfair.

A few consultations has been organised to make us ladies look good: hair styling, hair colouring, skincare and makeup.

The hair consultations were given one on one by FOUR London's specialists. With clients including Nigella Lawson, Yasmin Le Bon, Stacey Solomon and Lauren Goodger, I was pretty much in safe hands with them!


We were also introduced to the Doctor Duve Medical Skin Care line. His products are used with a machine that regenerates skin cells. on the picture, Ellie (leading therapists working with the Dr Duve line) shows a lady how the treatment feels. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to trat it myself, but despite looking scary, the treatment is not painful!

The highlight of the evening was to attend a makeup masterclass given by celebrity makeup artist, Daniel Sandler. Daniel is a British makeup artist who beautified the likes of Naomi Campbell, Rachel Weisz and Kate Moss. He showed us how to be timelessly glamourous using two makeup styles: the smokey eye and the red lip.


I was particularly interrested in the smokey eye part, as I feel it can easily look like dusty and dirty if not done properly (read: I have difficulties doing smokeys!)

The first thing Daniel told us was to try different colours, not just black and brown. He says he likes to use gray as it is easier to work with and goes well with anything. It is also less harsh than black.

The second thing he taught us was to use eyeliners instead of eyeshadows to creat a smokey. All there is to do is line the eyes, and then smudge it with an angular brush. One of his favourite tricks is to use a navy liner, and then go over with a black liner. So Simple!

Another tip I learned from Daniel Sandler is to use the lower lash line as a guideline to the "flick" of eyeliner for a sexy cat eye look. Just imagine where the lower las would continue, and there is your flick!

One of the tips that I was already doing is to tightline (lining the upper waterline) the eyes. This adds definition to the eyes, as well as make the lashes appear fuller.


As for the red lip classes, here is what I have learned:

• The bottom lip is generally fuller than the upper one. Put on more colour to the upper lip, to make it look plumper.
• Defining the cupid's bow with concealer is a great way to make the red colour pop.
• Not to worry too much about the "rules" of makeup. If it makes you feel good, that is all that matters.

What struck me with Daniel is that he is such a calming person. He also mentioned this point, saying that in the industry, people who come to be made up by him are hyper stressed. In this way, he does all he can to calm them, and that's also why he always has one of his candles burning during the sessions (the melted wax can also be used as a body butter).

This was a brilliant evening. I am glad I have learned some tricks from a well-known makeup artist!

Daniel Sandler's products are available on Look Fantastic's website.

Thank you very much to everyone: Look Fantastic, FOUR London and Daniel Sandler!

On Tuesday evening, I was lucky enought to be invited to the Beauty Playground Event, which showcased the latest products from many brands: Lee Stafford haircare, myface cosmetics, Lulu's Time Bomb skincare, Operation: Glam haircare, Colour Xtreme Hairart and Skin Art. Most of them are just in time for the upcoming festive season!

I was running late to the event, and my phone kept on ringing on my way, so needless to say I arrived quite stressed! First to welcome me was Lee Stafford. I didn't recognized him at first, in my hurry, but he was really nice and showed me his tattoos!

First I had a facial massage, with the Lulu's Timebomb Youth Explosion Day Serum. This was all I needed to put the stress away (ok and a glass of bubbly)!

I then had some makeup done using the new myface Blingtones, I chose Tequila Sunrise, a warm orange-yellow and the Slinky eyeliner, but I don't remember which colour I had. There was also a nail station, but I didn't have time to go.

I also had a previe of Skin Art tattoo, and they also have glitter tattoos! I am not usuallly a "bling" girl, but I think those were so clever! Unfortunately, I don't have any picture of my glitter tattoo, but I shall be doing a review later on. There were also the temporary hair colour, Colour Xtreme Hair Art. I already heard about ir before, but with my dark hair I thought it wouldn't show. But it's showing on brunettes as well. I had the glittery one (ok, I am now a converted bling girl!) and thought this would be good for parties, or any big event. It actually looked like snow in my hair, which was quite cute.

The last station was the Lee Stafford one. He just launched a shampoo and conditonner from the same range as his best-selling Hair Growth treatment. I already have long hair, but I won't say no to something that could help them stay strong!

The event was really nice, I wish I would've take more pictures, but Chloe (from the event) was nice enough to send me hers. She was kind enough to give me a few products to try at home, which I am currently doing, and will be reviewing them later! If you have any request of those products, please let me know!

Last Wednesday, I was invited for my first blogger event! Well, I have been to some product launches before, but not as a blogger. I didn't really know what to expect, except maybe that it would be similar to the other events I have been to.

I went to the Charlotte Street Hotel to meet the Klorane and Avène ladies. I feel that those brands are more known in the French speaking countries, and being from Québec, I kinda knew them without really knowing them, if that makes sense... Klorane was celebrating a new UK point of sale, Jonh Lewis, as well as launching two French favourites into the British market, the Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover Lotion/Wipes with Cornflower.


Since I was one of the first ones there, I got to have my own "guide" of the products, Marie. Marie is kind of the French equivalent of Kate Moss. Even though I think she was prettier! Marie took me through the different ranges of both brands. Being French, she has known the brands since childhood and was talking about her favourites and her own tips.

I left with a few products to try: Klorane Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover (100 ml),Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oatmeal (150 ml), Avene Thermal Water Spray (150 ml).

I will keep you posted on what I think of them.


The event was informative and of course the breakfast was yummy!

For more info, visit: Klorane and Avène.

Thank you to all the ladies who organised the event!

Have you tried any of those brands' products? What do you think of them?
