GUYS. my last few days have been CRAZY. i am not gonna go too much into detail on how much i slept but as you might guess: not much. but it was all worth it! wednesday i flew back to vienna, friday i did an editorial shoot (keep your fingers crossed it will turn out well) and saturday i flew to berlin after having a very hard time packing all my winter stuff for milan.
anyway, me and 20 other bloggers were invited to the nhow in berlin for a day with glossybox. the company invited 7 beauty brands to take part in a huge beauty-party in one of the suites of the hotel. the nhow is a really cool style hotel, even though the room reminded me of a uterus (really pink!)… but hey: what’s cooler than feeling like an unborn again? i did sleep amazing. well back to topic. the brands invited were:
in each corner of the suite we got to test and try the different products, acompanied by an amazing contemporary dance performance and a dj / pianist. of course there was plenty of food, wine… it was simply perfect. ok, i might have had the most wine of all but it was saturday, man! apart from the fact that all the brand-people (how else should i call them?) the brand that impressed me the most was lakshmi. they produce ayurvedic cosmetics like kajals and perfumes produced in germany. the products are so natural and really preserve some kind of well-being (even if it’s hard to imagine that a lipstick could do so! true story.)
to be honest i was a little disappointed by point rouge. the girls were really nice but i didn’t feel like there was any concept behind their presentation. they simply put random products on display, there wasn’t really that much information. but the cupcakes right around the corner made up for it!
after the exciting but also exhausting testing we had a few minutes to change and then headed out for a dinner at coledampf’s and companies which was definitely one of my highlights. not only am i a big fan of the rustic-contemporary interior, also we got to prepare our own dinner! some of the blogger girls decided not to take part in it, which i found a little sad, but me and some other girls gave our best to prepare delicious risotto and ravioli. the staff was super nice and helpful, this place is def worth a visit when you’re in berlin! but at 2 am there was nothing else i could think of except: my bed. thanks to nhow for the amazing good night sleep i had before checking out on sunday and heading to milan.
now i have to go and test all the products, i’ll be back soon with a selection of my top picks and there’s also gonna be a give-away for you!
THANKS GLOSSYBOX FOR THIS EXCITING, INTERESTING AND FUN WEEKEND.
