Roger & Gallet Blogger Evening

Hey Lovelies. I have quite a big post for you today so I'm going to get straight to it. I went to a blogger evening on Monday at the St Martins Lane Hotel. I had a lovely time perusing products from Roger & Gallet. I also met some real sweethearts while I was there. Here are the pics :)

I had a wee glass of the bubbly on arrival :)

The lovely Steph on the right that invited me along.

The book celebrating Roger & Gallet's 150th Anniversary.

Don't you just fancy an orange right now?

This product really caught my eye. This is the Bois d'Orange Invigorating Eau Sublime Or. It's a fresh fragrant water with golden shimmer.

I tried some on my hand while is there and I couldn't stop looking at this pretty shimmer. I asked if this would interfere with fake tan if you wanted to highlight your bronzed glow and I was informed that it should be fine as it's water based.

Now for the guys .....

I did ask if if women also like to wear some of the more masculine ranges and I was told yes. I asked because I know that some women quite like the more masculine ranges from Molton Brown too. 

Now onto my goodie bag ......

I love the design which is taken from the anniversary book shown above.

Left To Right:

Rose Imaginaire Fresh Fragrant Water

This does not have that old fashioned aroma that I find some rose scented products can have. It's very delicate and womanly. Lovely for daytime freshness.

Fleur d'Osmanthus Foaming Shower Honey

I would describe this as a very comforting scent. It's like fresh linen.

Bois D'Orange Moisturizing Refreshing Fragrant Body Lotion

This cream feels really nice, but then all of the creams that I tried at the evening did because they sink into your skin nicely without leaving a sticky residue. This has a refreshing citrus scent.

Bois D'Orange Refreshing Fragrant Bath & Shower Gel

This is from the same range as above so it has the same scent.

Bois D'Orange SPF15 Nourishing, Repairing, Protecting Hands & Nails Cream

A lovely citrus cream from the above range.

The two samples I picked up at the evening shown in the above photo are:

Eau Des Bienfaits Fragrant Body Mist

This still has a citrus scent, but a more grown up version than the Bois D'Orange range making this more day to night I would say.

Fleur d'Osmanthus Fresh Fragrant Water

I like this. It's soft and comforting like the Foaming Shower Honey above.

I really want to say a special thanks to Julia Ward also who I spoke to at the event. I got so much information from you Julia and you were a real pleasure to talk to. You were so welcoming and really took the time to show me the products.

Steph Marston you are also a real sweetheart. I hope you continue to enjoy London :)

Feel free to check out the Roger & Gallet range on roger-gallet.co.uk and roger-gallet.com

You can also find stockists in your area and get a perfume or bath & body diagnosis to see what range they suggest would most suit and appeal to you.

I admit that I had not heard of this brand before being invited along to this blogger evening, but I'm glad I went. I would have been disappointed if the brand was more about the soaps, but Julia said that they are steering more away from those and into the other products. I will let you know how I get on with the products of course.

If you have tried their products what do you think of the Roger & Gallet brand? Did any of you reading this post attend the evening? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

May GlossyBox - Happy Anniversary!

Hello my Sweets. I am trying my best to blog as usual at the moment and I am managing it so far, but I am hoping to move into my new home in the next week or two so please bear with me if I'm not around as much. Today I want to share with you the products that arrived in my May GlossyBox. It is named the 'Happy Anniversary!' box as GlossyBox has turned 1, aww.

The box is the traditional GlossyBox light pink shade. The tissue wrapping is very cute and pretty. The Anniversary ribbon is a nice touch too.

Left To Right:

Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel, £20.00 for 250ml

Please check out the link above for information on this product.

My Thoughts:

This is a nice product. I have only used this as a shower gel so far. The scent reminds me of the more masculine Molton Brown type of scents. 

Lolita Lempicka Scents:

Eau de Parfum, £49.00 - £65.00 for 50ml / 100ml

Please check out the link above for information on this product.

My Thoughts:

I looooooooooooove this scent. It's gorgeous, sexy and evoking. I want it now. The sample tube is very pretty in the styling.

L'Eau en Blanc, £49.00 - £65.00 for 50ml / 100ml

Please check out the link above for information on this product.

My Thoughts:

This is a more subtle and soft day fresh scent. A little powder room if you will. The packaging is really pretty like the other sample tube. I have used this one up at work the other day. This tube only lasted one day as it was very warm and I wanted to stay fresh at work.

Weleda Face Cream/Body Milk, From £10.95 (£14.95 for 30ml) 

Please check out the link above for information on this product.

My Thoughts:

I have been using this cream in the evenings on my face for about a week now. A little goes a long way with this cream. It does feel nice to apply and has a rose scent. Rose scents seem to be quite popular at the moment in beauty boxes. They are okay, but I it's not the typical kind of scent that appeals to me.

Collection Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner (Black), £4.99 for 6ml 

Please check out the link above for information on this product.

My Thoughts:

The brush that comes with this product gives quite a thick line so I won't use that as I like to choose how thick I want my liner when I apply it so I will just use my own make-up brush with this. I do think that this shade is so amazingly black though. I love it. When I swatched it it was so smooth to apply. The Collection website says it gives a glossy finish, but I found this product to try a bit more matte which is fine for me. It comes in four shades so perhaps the Teal and Gold are a bit more glossy? I am looking forward to creating a dramatic winged eye with this product.

HD Brows Brow Beater, From £3.90 

My Thoughts:

You can check out the link above for HD Brows website, but I find it really hard to find the link to the products. Please let me know if you know where the product links are hidden :) I haven't tried this product yet, but I will as I do set my brows with a clear mascara which is what this is.

I got really excited when I saw the glitter particles on this wand, but it looks like they are there purely for decoration as they do not transfer when I swatched this on my hand. If they had I might have used this as a mascara as the curve on this wand I think would be great for a mascara.

GlossyBox Compact Mirror, Free to subscribers as a birthday gift

My Thoughts:

This is a really nice compact and it's an extra product which is always nice :)

Overall I am really happy with this box. I really want the Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum, but I'm a bit skint at the moment with moving house so I think I will have to wait a while for that one. The Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blanc was really nice to use as well. The Collection Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner (Black) looks to be a great liner so I really hope I will like it. The other products are nice too, but these are the stand out ones in this box for me.

So Happy Birthday GlossyBox. I have been with you from the start and I hope the next year has lots of goodness to come.
