It’s no lie, I get invited to some pretty fun events. Last Wednesday night saw the launch party for Batiste dry shampoo’s pretty new Lace fragrance, with a party held at The Mayfair House in central London.

We were lucky, lucky ladies, as we were given the full pamper package. Firstly I had my hair done by Brooks+Brooks; with 6 gorgeous styles to choose from I was torn but my lovely stylist persuaded me to go for ‘glamorous volume‘. Let me tell you he was a hair wizard, using Batiste Lace to create texture and volume (it smelt pretty good too, without that overpowering tell-tale dry shampoo scent that some brands have).

Next we had make up and nails applied by beautyuk; Lucy gave me a glossy pinky-coral lip with subtly-shaded eyes (and the MUAs were Northern, big up!).

Finally we had our makeovers documented with a professional photoshoot, at which the photographer performed a minor miracle by helping the most awkward ‘model’ in the world, me, to relax and even enjoy myself a little bit!

There were also sweet treats as far as the eye could see including the most delicious cupcakes with mini Batiste Lace cans on top (they were almost too cute to eat) and I sipped on pink champagne (through a straw so as not to ruin my lippie!).

Confession: I also picked up a bag of pick ‘n’ mix to have for ‘dinner’ that night – shameful I know!

Thanks so much to Batiste for inviting me, I had lots of fun!
