New Launch: L’Occitane Immortelle Concealer and Eye Mask
Helloo Everyone,
Yesterday I was invited for “L’OCCITANE” Event in Select City Walk, not sure which part of the news excited made me nervous. I was on my own for the first time in many years as hubby always accompany me.. may be he is scared that I will come home with truck loads of Makeup 😉 ! So, Yesterday was kind of “Makeup Control Test” for me as I had his CC with me and could have gone bonkers with Sephora, MAC, CHANEL in the vicinity.. 😀 but sanity prevailed!
First things first.. I was invited to experience some new launches by the Brand which includes L’occitane Brightening Touch Targeted Concealer and an Eye Mask in the same range.
About L’Occitane:
The story begins in Provence, in 1976, when L’OCCITANE was created by Olivier Baussan…
Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean cultures, he developed skincare products and fragrances that were natural and authentic, effective and deliciously appealing. L’OCCITANE brings together nature and research, following the principles of phytotherapy. L’OCCITANE
Ever since it was founded in 1976, L’OCCITANE has nurtured simple values: authenticity, respect, sensoriality and continual improvement. This is more than a philosophy: it is a commitment. Inspired and nurtured by encounters and journeys, the brand has grown and developed, always working with committed producers who insist on the highest standards.

Some drool worthy Stuff from L’Occitane… Loved its Peony EDT.. The fragrance is still on my mind!!
The goodies we received at the event..
Talking about my experience at the event, very disappointing. Firstly, we bloggers were treated as second class citizens and were asked to leave the premises as they had some other event for their richie rich customers. I was shocked when I processed the words coming out of the PR’s mouth…..eehhhh!! They could have scheduled it for some other time but asking us to leave after inviting .. disgustingg!!
And this goodie bag was another source controversy, all were not the same and some were contained even lesser number of products than me.. ggahhh!! But this is not it, next comes the tiny hand cream sample that they shameless put in the goodie bag :O :O …
Don’t Miss to Checkout:
My first experience with the Brand’s PR isn’t good at all but I am happy that I got a chance to meet all other lovely bloggers there and still not over of my Friday Hangover.. (No.. its not about the drinks.. 😛 ) ..the beauty rambles and some amazing memories to cherish!!
For the first time, I got a chance to connect with other beauties from this blogging world…!! Thank you all… it was so amazing to meet you all in person.. <3

I agree with the last para of yours Poo......at times bloggers aren't treated well and at the end of the event you are handed a tiny bag of of some random samples and the only thing they want is us to write good about them that's all.
At one event I was keep waiting for 2 hours! Seriously!
I mean we'll write good if it's worth!
Thats so true samar.. I was not able to make out what the brand is upto.. What the hell they think of bloggers.. we are providing them coverage and they invited us to the stores and this treatment.. The brands should better behave or if they cant afford dont organize such meets at all !!
the new launch looks good :) sad that the event didn't end on a good note :( wish they knew that bloggers are going to attract more richie rich customers to their stores and products..
Yeah Mayuri.. I like the under eye mask but its so pricey.. :P :P ..
Yup hoping for a better experience next time.. :)
So true Poo!! Bloggers should be treated with utmost importance if its a "blogger's event". It's time brands realize it. But what the heck, I met you and I had a FAB time with you. Loved meeting you darling :* * :* <3
I agree dear.. U know how it was been there.. that tiny store couldnt hold us all!! and if you are inviting you better be careful and atleast be courteous taht we come all the way to see you!!
Yeah that the thing that makes me happy... it was lovely meeting you too.. <3 <3 **Kisses**
Thats really sad Poo. I hope they are reading this
YEahh.. I want them to read and this and feel ashamed of their attitude.. We were not begging for any Samples or coverage but they do want the publicity through our Blogs.. !!
Aww.. that's sad, Loved your honest write up :*
Thank u dear.. I dont want to be biased jst bcz if it is a big brand.. they should at least save their face by avoiding such pathetic strategies...Period !!
I'm sorry to hear about the bad PR experience.. it's not courteous of them to ask you all to leave like that..
Yess. Jane that was heartbreaking actually.. how could they treat their guests like that!
Pathetic ppl... No courtesy.
I really appreciate your honest write up Poo :*
yess... they could have been more courteous.. thanks Sweets.. <3
Sad that u dint have a great experience in terms of the way you were treated.. wish they show some respect towards bloggers too.. nice post Poo
Yeahh.. wih they get some sense now and know how to treat their guesst especially when they are bloggers.. :)
Even I had an amazing time with you babes. I left early so wasn't aware about it. It's really annoying and so mean of them. I wonder if I would ever attend any of their event in future.
Anyways, I would love to meet you girls again and again! <3 <3
Me too Niesha.. glad that u left early.. otherwise you had to feel the same .. :)
Cant wait to see you again.. :) Wish the next time comes super soon!! :)
You people should have given them an apt reply. First they invite and then treat as if you are uninvited guests! Shameless.. thankfully hv nt experienced any such thing in Mumbai here till now
