Last week, I was lucky enough to be able to attend The Body Shop VIP Pre-Mother's Day Pamper Event. Just in time for Mother's Day, The Body Shop has released their new British Rose collection. I've already tried a few products from this range and I'm actually already in love with the scent.
The event was held in the Bourke St Mall store, after hours. The store is elegantly decorated with roses and the products, and it looked oh so invited. I was surprised at how many gorgeous products are actually part of this collection, and I was keen to try them all.
The British Rose scent is not what you think. I was expecting a strong rose scent - akin to something you may find in your grandmother's bathroom. But I was pleasantly surprised; it's not just a rose scent, it also contains a nice mix of other fragrances as well which really tone down the rose scent.
As part of the event, we were first pampered with a lovely hand treatment. I got to try out the body wash, the essence lotion, the hand cream and the body butter. I was really impressed with how lovely it all felt. We also got a one on one skincare consultation with one of the store representatives. I was really happy with my consultation and I actually learnt a lot about my skin. A lot of the products that were recommended to me I actually already own, so that's a plus. I also got to take my review home so I can remember all the important information and start implementing some changes.
Of course we were also treated to some champagne and macarons. The macarons were an absolute delight - I could have eaten the entire plate! Oops.
I actually arrived to the event late, so I didn't have time to have a makeover. This didn't bother me though as I've tried a lot of makeup from The Body Shop, but it was a great little addition for those who don't know a lot about makeup. I still got a chance to swatch some of the newer products and they look pretty good!
We also got a goody bag of products to take home with us. We got the British Rose Instant Glow Body Essence, the British Rose Petal-Soft Hand Cream, sample sizes of Aloe Calming Toner, Aloe Soothing Day Cream, and Aloe Soothing Night Cream, Oils of Life Facial Oil and Oils of Life Sleeping Cream, and a Facial Massager. This was a pretty generous bag in my opinion, and I can't wait to try everything out.

Overall I had a really great night. Thanks so much to The Body Shop for hosting this gorgeous VIP night and for being so accommodating. This was also not a blogger event - this was an event that I paid to go to, and for the low price of $25, I feel like it was totally worth it.
