Yves Rocher event

Hello my lovelies! Today I have an awesome, picture-heavy post for you. I was lucky enough to have been invited by Yves Rocher Slovenija to an event for beauty bloggers. I was really happy when I got the mail and couldn't wait for the day to arrive. I was joined by four other bloggers, including Nuša (Moonchild Beauty), Sanja (Sparkle with laughter), Sandra (The Puzzle of Sandra's life) and Sara (Passing Fancy). I  knew Nuša, because we have met before and went for a cup of coffee, but I've never met any of the other girls in person, so I was really looking forward to spending some time with them as well. :) 

We met a few hours earlier so we could 'pass' a few shops on the way and grab a cup of tea (I was going to say coffee, but we really all drank tea). :) We chatted for a while and then went to the Yves Rocher shop where the event was held. When we entered, I saw a cute small store with tons of inviting products, I mean come on... just look at those shelves. :)

We received a warm welcome and were sited behind a cute little table (apparently I'll be using the word 'cute' a lot throughout this post), that had some delicious goodies on it. :) At first we were introduced to the brand and it's creator, history, philosophy. I think none of us really knew the brand well, so it was a welcomed introduction indeed. :) After the initial introduction of the brand and it's lines/products, the girls kindly let us explore on our own and go crazy basically (we were like kids in a candy store). If we had any questions, we could just asked them or they would let us know about certain products as we were exploring (bestsellers and other popular products, for example).

Jingle bells, jingle bells... swatching all the way! :)

yup, that looks real nice...

I NEED that lipstick! :)

Nuša, being all happy and browsing around :)

We looked, swatched and smelled until we couldn't look, swatch or smell anymore... and then we did that some more. :) No, really... we couldn't stop. The girls had to remind us to eat and drink and take a breath. :) We were just having so much fun. It's just something really special when you have a store to yourself and have the opportunity and freedom to really check out all the products, without feeling rushed or asked what you're looking for, a thousand times... you know what I mean, right? :)

So... after we munched on some delicious cookies/biscuits and 'browsed' around some more, the girls had a lovely surprise for us or should I say surprises (plural!). :) We were given one gift set after another and were slowly but surely falling into a deep beauty blogger coma from all the wonderful things we have received. Seriously, we just couldn't believe what was going on. Of course you always hope you'll be able to try out some products, especially, if it's a brand you haven't tried out before, but that's not the reason you go to events (at least I don't). I think most of us beauty bloggers just love to be acknowledged and appreciated for our 'work' and when a certain makeup/beauty brand invites you to an event, you're just happy they've found you and decided you're good enough for them to 'join the party'. :) But when you get a ton of products to try out, well... that just a huge cherry on top.

delicious goodies :D

beautiful Yves Rocher girls <3

again, 'our' lovely girls <3

our goodie bags that were filled up so we could barely carry them :)

All in all this was one super exciting day and I think we all went home very, very happy (I know I was very happy... as soon as I came home, I started to explore all the goodies from my goodie bag, I was like a child with some fun new toys). I really enjoyed the company of my fellow bloggers and I was especially pleased with the Yves Rocher girls. They were super nice, super friendly and did a fantastic job at hosting this event. Because of them, we all felt very comfortable and had a lovely time. You were great girls! :D

And now... let's take a little sneak-peak at what I got in my goodie bag. I get so excited just by looking at these pictures. Can't wait to try all of these things out... :)
