Beauty Blog Meet pt. 1 - Duroy

Like I've told you in past few posts we had a blog meet in Helsinki last Sunday. There were apparently 21 blogs (or bloggers, one blog has two writers) represented. In the upcoming posts I'm telling you about either certain brand that got introduced there or about certain products depending on if I've had tried some of the products we were given there already.

Anyway let's start!

First up when we arrived we were greeted by some really busy bloggers still trying to organise few lasts bits. That didn't bother and soon we got to start the programme.

Day started with a presentation from Duroy which is a Finnish family-owned company that imports, designs and sells cosmetics products. I've had few Duroy brushes and still own at least one so I knew the brand beforehands. What I didn't know was the amount of different brushes and makeup products they actually have. There were some brushes that I've been looking for but either didn't want to spend MAC prices on or they weren't as good as I hoped for. There was some talk about brushes not being as widely available as consumers (or at least us bloggers) hoped for.

We got to see some of the product lines they have and here's a picture of the red set.

What I also haven't seen - nor anyone else apparently - are the rolls on sale. They seemed to be nice enough to invest some money into even if I don't really travel with many brushes.

There's now at least one brush I need to hunt down from Duroy since someone said that they really like it for liner. I need to try it since I'm mainly using my MAC 212 which is the flat wide liner brush and not really made for detailing.

And then I need to get the cute(!) zebra powder puff. I might not use it but I need it.

Duroy also has false eyelashes and I just took picture of few of them.

Rhinestone ones look nice but not sure I'd really use them much. I don't do much clubbing or going out and they might be too bling-y for me. Nice nonetheless.

And from Duroy we all got a set of brushes (the other one had foundation brush instead of the pencil one). I'm glad I got this set since I've found my foundation brush already and won't be changing it anytime soon.

If treated right the brushes should last 10 years and the blush brush I've had has lasted that long without shedding so I do that with right treatment these do last a long time.

That's all about Duroy, next up is L'Oreal.
