This weekend I got the fantastic opportunity to attend another fabulous Cocoa Brown event. The #PassionPersistencePink event took place in the Shelbourne Hotel in Stephen's Green. I met up with the beautiful Amy from WhatSheDoesNow and we attended the event together. Check her out!
When we arrived we got to meet and get our photo's taken with Marissa Carter, Cocoa Brown's leading lady if you didn't know already, and the wonderful Julia Carta, world class hair and make up artist to the celeb's such as Britney Spears, Keira Knitghley, Orlando Bloom and many more! She is now Chief Make Up Designer on X- Factor since 2012 and has worked on BGT, Pop Idol and numerous TV and red carpet events. You can check out Julia and her work on her site, juliacarta.com.

After a quick meet and greet we took our seats in the great hall which was filled with big round tables, flowers, giant screens focused on the main stage and pink mood lighting. The ambience and design of the room was everything I expected from the Cocoa Brown girls.

First up Marissa made a little speech and chatted for awhile, we had ombre lip demo's from three fabulous bloggers/make up artists, Rosie Connolly, AJ Make Up and Tara O'Farrell. Marissa also joined in the fun. Then we had a tontouring demo from Marissa who brought her gorgeous sister on stage as her model.
There were spot prizes galore! Every few minutes someone was getting a penny's voucher or we were looking for stickers on our chairs and cups to win something. The prizes/surprises were all very organised. Marissa was very excited and it was great to see her enjoying herself so much, she is a wonderful inspiration and a great speaker and had me laughing with tears at one stage.
The main reason everyone was super excited was for the reveal of the two new Cocoa Brown products! Just before we were treated to afternoon tea the CB girls gave out our swag bags, which we weren't allowed to peek into until Marissa revealed the products, which most of you know by now are two fabulous tanning gels available in Shimmer and Matte!

After having a rummage through our swag bags and digging into our afternoon tea it was time for a quick Q&A with Marissa and the onto a make up master demo with Julia. Julia showed us some amazing beauty tips and tricks, fabulous products and answered questions, she was an absolute gem and I was in awe at her work. Watching her use such minimal products and brushes was fascinating and motivating.
The day was so well organised and so much fun, one of the best events I have been to in a very long time!
I'm super excited to try the new products and will have a review very, very, very soon!!
Lots of love,
