Bourjois Bloggers Event London HQ!
I was lucky enough to attend the Bourjois headquarters in London for a bloggers event yesterday, and I have to say that it was so organised and LOTS of fun! There was only a select few people, which enabled us all to all interact and make it very personal. The HQ itself is so cute, and looks like a fun office to work in. All the girls that worked there are uber gorgeous,very friendly and so down to earth.
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!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend! X

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.

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.
