Roger & Gallet Blogger Evening

 

On Monday, I booked the day off work and headed to London, after receiving an invite to the Roger & Gallet blogger evening.

I met up with my friend and fellow blogger, Gemma, then went to another event before the Roger & Gallet event. You can read about that here.

Just a short walk further, we reached St Martin's Lane Hotel, the venue for the Roger & Gallet event.

Admittedly, Roger & Gallet is not a brand that I really knew of, or have tried prior to the event, however, I am now left wondering, HOW?! WHY?! WHAT?!

On entering the gorgeous smelling venue, we were welcomed by the lovely Steph Marston, offered Champagne, then taken for a little tour of the products.

The set up was unbelievably beautiful! Everything about it, fresh, floral, feminine, with wooden shelves, real oranges, Alice in Wonderland style 'smell me...' etc messages and tags, with glass jars filled with products and, best of all...

A LIVING WALL!

Words can not describe how stunning this really was. Another one of the PR ladies, Julia Ward explained to us how it was real and had been installed, then continually watered.

Originally, I fell in love with the Rose products but then we were given a super-exclusive look at the brand new fragrance, Rose Imaginaire...this is exciting enough in itself but wow, this product smells so good!

We were handed beautiful goody bags on our way out. Gemma and I were going to save opening them but whilst we were sat outside the bar in Leicester Square, Gemma peeked in her bag and spotted...ROSE IMAGINAIRE!! OMGosh, we were so happy, literally sat there, in Leicester Square, all happy and excited like it was Christmas! I then spotted Creme Sublime in my bag, which was another stand-out product at the event. There are 2 other products in the goody bag, which is amazing. Thank you so much Roger & Gallet! I'm going to be wearing Rose Imaginaire so much now, it is a lovely fragrance.

Thank you to the lovely people at Roger & Gallet and to Steph Marston for the invite and for showing us around.

After the event, Gemma and I headed to Kink bar in Leicester Square for cocktails. Good times :) Amaretto Sour and Crazy Jamaican - yum!

I then had to RUN and jump on and off tubes to catch my 9:43pm train home! Taking my flatforms off whilst on an escalator, running frantically, showing the lady my tube ticket not train ticket, then hearing the whistle blow as I approached the train! I actually JUMPED on the train, through the nearest door, which turned out to be First Class...walking through First Class with shoes in hand - classy! I eventually got home at 1:15am, after what was a long, tiring but brilliant afternoon and evening in London. It was great to meet some lovely people and also catch up with Gemma :)

Have you tried Roger & Gallet products before?

If you get chance, definitely check them out!

Also, have a look at the Roger & Gallet website. It's beautiful, just like the event!

Rose Imaginaire will be available at M&S, RRP £32 (100ml).

Sometimes, I am just this cool.

Yesterday, I attended the Frontcover Cosmetics A/W Launch at Karine Jackson salon.

I met up with my blogger friend Gemma Bellfield just before the event and headed there.

We had a warm welcome and were offered Champagne.

We met Michelle, the Co Founder and Director of Frontcover.  Michelle showed us round each of the new sets, whilst giving us a history of the company, the concepts behind their ideas and how they only use photographs which include the products in the sets.

It was great to actually meet one of the people behind the brand and Michelle was lovely!

Something that really stands out about Frontcover to me is the fact that they put instructions/how-to guides and images in the sets.  Rather than just having the product or a very brief ‘to achieve this look…’ Frontcover have easy-to-follow guides.

All the new sets are great.  When we were asked to choose a Gold, Silver and Bronze set, I really struggled to choose favourites!

I’m particularly loving Party Queen, Dark Arts and Sparkler.  I awarded these the medals.

Anything and everything that sparkles is a winner with me :)

They even have edible lip glitter; yes…you read that right…EDIBLE LIP GLITTER!

They used the lip glitter on the cupcakes, which was a great touch.

The cupcakes themselves were fab, with Frontcover imagery printed on them and oh, so tasty!

Another thing that stood out to me, was the golden Cupid's bow lip art, in the Kissogram set.  So simple to do, yet so different and effective!

We were offered to have our makeup or nails done, so like everyone else, Gemma and I went for the nails.  We all know how big nails and nail art are at the moment, right?

The leather cut nail stickers caught my eye as soon as I saw the Dark Arts set earlier on, so I chose to have these.

Gemma had black nails, with some bronze/gold dots.

We grabbed a cupcake to take out with us.

We had such a great time at the launch.  After this, we headed on to another event, which I will be posting about following this :)

Unfortunately, Frontcover will not be sold in Boots stores this year but you can buy it from the website, Sephora, or look out for the ladies making their QVC debut very soon!
The collection is now available to pre-order and prices range from £14-35.

Last year, I purchased the Style Queen set (after a mad hunt for it!), I did a short review and swatches of that, which you can read here.

Thank you, once again, to the lovely people of Frontcover Cosmetics for a fabulous event.

Have you tried Frontcover Cosmetics?

Does anything from the new collection catch your eye?
