What do I see as soon as I walk in to the room we were supposed to be in?
Cupcakes, and lots of them!

Bourjois have launched a fantastic Spring range that is mainly inspired by corals, peaches and golden hues. This is their ad poster that was created in Paris.
The event started off with lots of eating and talking, we then watched a presentation of the Spring make up demonstrated by Bourjois make up artist Cassie Lomas. She was so lovely, she can do my makeup any day!
Look how beautiful the models lips look, it's a sheer tangerine tone lipstick she is wearing but look at how pigmented it is. I want!! There was also a gold / green eyeliner pencil which looked amazing worn on the inner 1/3 of the lower lashline.
Bourjois is a brand with a lot of history, it was actually launched in Paris by Alexander Napoleon Bourjois in the 18th Century. This was a time when respectable women hardly wore makeup, However, Alexander changed that after his inspiration of the theatre and love for the stars of the stage. He created a light quality stage make up that became the "Official supplier to the imperial Theatre".

Below are a few variations of what their packaging was like in the 18th Century. I think it looks SO beautiful and that the new packaging of Bourjois should go back to its roots.
After much chit chat after the presentation, we were to go up and choose what we wanted from a huge selection that was laid out for us. I think this was very thoughtful as we didn't end up with a foundation that was 10X too light for us or a lipstick shade we would never wear. (The photo you see is an 'after' pic by the way!)
We also had some makeup bags, how cute!
Well, I have plenty to be trying and testing. No1 on my test-list is the new 'Healthy Mix' foundation they have launched. Will I like it as much as their 10hr sleep effect? We shall see! I will probably end up doing a 'favourites' post.

Bourjous brings back memories for me.. Bought my first ever eyeshadow from them! A little round pot in Silver.. Haha I didn't know any better :p
yum yum yum cupcakes, I'm starting to develop a sweet tooth oh dear.
You and Yinka look adorable. The event looked very sweet can't wait to see your reviews on the goodies =)
@Shortiee31 Thanks hun! Awww a little round pot in silver - how cute, i'm sure you made it work. :)
@LaaLaa Thanks hun, I always have a sweet tooth :) I wish u were at the event too! X
LOL @ the 'after' shot. One word: RAIDED!
@Vex I know, how empty does it look :) xx
Looks like so much fun!
Any chance you could do a review on the that new Volume Glamour Ultra Care mascara? I was almost tempted by it in Superdrug the other day! :) xxx
Wowee it looks like a great event! And you girls look gorgeous as ever xx
that looks like LOLA cupcakes......heaven!
Looks like you had an absolutely amazing day, you are beautiful :)
gutted i missed this - loving the healthy mix foundation so far !
It was such a lovely event - and we were some very lucky beauty bloggers getting to raid Bourjois like kids in candy shops!
Your pictures are so much better than mine - by the time I got round to taking pictures I think we had all managed to munch our way through almost all the yummy cupcakes.
Anyway, wonderful way to spend a Saturday - make-up, cupcakes and girly chatter! Looking forward to reading everyone's reviews on our loot!
lovely cupcakes... and also i agreed with you... the old packaging looks so much nicer, they should really consider that
K.
Wow your so lucky! Love the red polish you picked. x
Lucky you! Looks like you had a great time! The cupcakes look gorgeous and i love the look they created, tangerine lipstick is always good in my book!
My 2 yr old neice just saw you're photo and said "who's that she's pretty" bless her :)
Lots of lovely goodies their so generous of them! Can't wait for your review on the new foundation i like the look of it and always on the hunt for new foundation x
I love the makeup bag! The caption is great :) xx
Sounds like you all had a great time. Loving Bourjois more unique shade names for the 10hr sleep effect foundation. I'm a light apricot rather then been labelled the usual Ivory, Porcelein or even 'light' or 'pale'. Light Apricot sounds prettier somehow!
The event looks great..luv the makeupbag and the cupcakes xo mw
Sounds fun and you look gorgeous hun!
Aww looks like so much fun:)) You look absolutly stunning:) I LOVE,LOVE,LOVe your outfit:) The dress is so cute! and love the bracelets:) You look amazing mA!!

Hello,
Some of them I have been able to take part in through my school, but the rest I have found out about through one of the English speaking newspapers here: the Florentine or Florence News & Events.
