Blogger Event - Dove Colour

Last night I had the privilege of attending a Nuffnang blogger event along with my good friends at Whim Online Magazine. It was for the launch of the new 

Dove Colour Care range. 

Upon entry, we were greeted with well dressed waiters who offered us trays with selections of San Pellegrino mineral water, Moët Champagne and my favourite, "Hair Vitality Juice" in jars with striped paper straws! The "Hair Vitality Juice" was a green juice that tasted like it had celery, cucumber and apple in it; good for you, yummy and it looked great in the jars with the paper straws. 

We were first taken into a room with chairs and a screen, and watched a light show that talked about how important colours are to every day life, and how they can make us feel. This is important not just when you are deciding what to wear and what colour your hair should be, but also when you are planning your colour theme for any event, as you want to make sure that your colours appropriately match the mood you want your guests to feel. I did a post a while ago on the psychology of colour, so you can have a read about that if you are interested (see here: The Psychology of Colour).

After the colour show, we were taken to another room where we sat and talked with professional image consultants/colour specialists who told us all about what colours suit us best and what our colouring says about your personality. Whether you believe in this or not, it is pretty interesting, and my "Winter" diagnosis was bang on with my personality traits. If you're interested in which colours suit you and what season you are, check out this link What's Your Colour Season?

The event space was lovely, it was a big open room adorned with white chairs. It was a very clean and crisp, yet warm space, with concrete floors and white walls. The lighting was very bright, but a good amount for this sort of event. We were served fancy canapés by our fancy waiters as we sat and listened to the talks about colour psychology, including: tempura zucchini flowers, butter ravioli, salmon skewers and fig with goat's cheese.

When we left, we were given goody bags/media kits which had a press release and the Dove Colour Care range in it. It smells lovely and I can't wait to start using it. Overall, they threw an impressive event that was a good opportunity to meet with other bloggers and interesting people. Then my friends and I went and enjoyed some delicious dinner & mulled wine!
