Drops of Youth
The Body Shop Drops of Youth

   Did you know that Drops of Youth skin serum is one of the best selling products at The Body Shop where one bottle is sold every 28 secs! It is a part of their Nutraganics range and 98% of its ingredients are of natural origin. To complement this popular product The Body Shop recently launched an eye concentrate and held a big event out here to celebrate it. It was a two part thing where in the morning Jacqueline Fernandez, their brand ambassador, came and met the media and customers in the morning and then in the evening a bloggers meet was held. This has been their 3rd event in this city so far and as always it is such a pleasure to interact with their team members.

     We were in for quite a treat as they had a whole bunch of activities planned for us – eye massage, make-up, caricature, photo booth/area and some yummy food! The front had been decorated like a garden with a turf and beautiful white flowers beckoning us. Aradhika introduced us to the eye concentrate and told us that the white flowers gracing the entrance were Edelweiss which grew and thrived in the harsh climate of the Alps. With the help of stem cell technology and after 7 years of research they had harnessed the power of this miracle flower and created the Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate.

     Not only is it supposed to address the presence of fine lines and puffiness but also helps to tighten and lift the skin around the eyes. This last point actually caught my interest the most. I have noticed some drooping in my eyes which is just so weird to see and I’m hoping that this serum will be able to address that. The Body Shop has some of my most favorite and effective products in their arsenal which feature on my repeat purchase. It remains to be seen if these two products will make that list 🙂 Well among all the chatter and eats, I got an eye massage done….OMG! The girl was so good! I was nodding in my chair and then she told me suddenly it was done 🙁 Damn! It got over too soon.

     After that an SA reapplied my eye makeup where I got to try their newly launched primer from their All-in-one range called Instablur as well as their new Smoky 2-in-1 gel liners. Both products were quite good and something I will be looking into soon. With that out of the way me and my girls were off to the photo booth to take some pics and were soon joined in by the other bloggers and the lovely ladies of Body Shop Aanchal and Aastha. Put us girls in front of a camera and you will get goofy faces, awkward poses and duck faces galore 😛 Just kidding…. 😉

     The munchies were from Mrs Magpie and let me tell you the cup cakes were to die for! I had to force myself to not go back to the display. And the bite sized snacks were delish and those got popped a couple of times. An evening filled with makeup, friends and nom nom’s came to an end. They were sweet enough to print out and give us our pictures taken by their photographer at the photo booth. And we also got to take home not only the Drops of Youth eye concentrate but the serum as well. I have been using both the products diligently since the day of the event and will be presenting my views on them in due time. Thanks to the awesome folks at The Body Shop for such a fun event! Hope to see them soon. Well its a wrap from me ladies! Ciao…
