And then it was time for a PR person for L'Oreal Finland's Consumer Products (which in Finland apparently is for the products sold in supemarkets and non-beauty specific shops) to tell us about few L'Oreal's brands and products.
First up was Essie which L'Oreal bought some time ago and we got to hear that they're bringing Essie to normal shops where other L'Oreal non-selective products are sold which will be nice. If I remember - anyone correct me - the price will be 12,90€ for a bottle which is not bad.
Of course we all got some Essie polishes and everyone got different for few exceptions (at least I know everyone got Aruba Blue since it's apparently THE colour from Essie to wear on Finland's Independence Day, not sure about Big Spender and Allure). These are the colours I ended up leaving with:
(L-R: Aruba Blue, Smokin Hot, Big Spender, Mint Candy Apple [which one blogger already had so I changed my some pink/red to this one], Lilacism and Allure [as you might all know this was one of the nail polishes in the mix that Kate Middleton wore on her wedding day to Prince William])
Then we got some nice news since not all of us knew that there will be a BB cream out from L'Oreal. I think it's sold at least in UK already but in Finland it's coming out soon. The product is called Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector. We got full-sized products and of course today I had to test mine. You can see it in action on my Independence Day look from yesterday.
I had some problems with this - first of all it wasn't right colour (too dark), secondly I had some problems getting it even (dried out too fast) and lastly it wasn't heavy enough to cover up spots I wanted (and if you put more than one layer it looked even more dark which is bad). I liked the scent and I might have more good things to say about this when I find a good way to get it evenly blended and when I'd be tan enough for this colour. Apparently Light and Medium are the only colours to come to Finnish markets (those were the only ones we could test on the meet at least). Also I really like that it has SPF15 (which of course when I can wear this on summertime won't be enough for my face but it's way better than SPF8 in some of my foundations).
Next year Maybelline One by One mascara family will get a new product called Satin Black and we got these to test out too. I haven't used mine yet since I wear waterproof mascaras mostly all the time so can't really say anything much about it
That was all about L'Oreal's presentation. I'm typing this with my Essie Aruba Blue nails and I love the colour! I'm not really a fan of blue but this blue is great.
