I must confess that everytime I get emails in my mailbox
from Vellvette I get very excited. The reason could be that every communication
from them is a pleasant surprise. Like the cutesy little black box that brings
in joy ,worth whole months wait even the emails come with some event
notification or some sneak peek to the month’s surprise in the box.
I got a pop in my mail box on 5th of this month
that this time Vellvette in association with Elizabeth Arden has organised a
preview party (smoothing like a soft launch) for a selected few Vellvette
members. Tadaaaa....my favourites meter started.
One,
I was addressed as selected few, privileged, exclusive...etc. My ego massaged
baby. I am yours and I am coming.
Two,
did you say ‘PARTY’? Can I shake a booty too ;)
Three,
its Elizabeth Arden, isn’t it Mariyln Monroe’s beauty secret?
Well
all in all, I had to be there.
But we all grew up seeing Bollywood movies where every great
love story has a larger than life villain. In my love story with beauty
products it was only my procrastination (coincidently could also be my second
name) that stopped me from blocking my seats.
But we all believe in angels. Don’t we? Harleen from Vellvette
called me on 11th, morning asking me if I was joining them at the
event. I said I want to, but I haven’t registered yet. Then she broke the news
to me. ‘All seats blocked’. Oh...but I was just about to block a seat.
Duhhhh.... I missed the bus. But it was an angelic call, I told you. She said
she could block a seat for me if I was planning to come. I sprang up and
grabbed it with both hands. ‘Ofcourse, I am coming.’
I reached the venue about 15 minutes late. Was warmly
welcomed by Vineeta the co-founder and the brain behind Vellvette. I see about
8-10 lovely ladies seated and attentively listening to a representative from
Elizabeth Arden talking very passionately about EA’s new range of products
called Prevage.
I happened to see, feel and test the products while EA team
was explaining us the benefits of the products. We discussed about these
products and also compared with our currently used products. And I secretly
planned to replace it with EA. Too bad for the current products, they didn’t call
me for an event. Talk about brand loyalty. A few products that caught my eye
were:
We had small quiz round and 2 winners were given a full size
of Prevage Anti-aging daily Serum. I obviously didn’t win, else that’s the
first you would read on this post and probably see a pic of mine jumping like a
maniac :P
Now came our favourite, food and gossip. I am sure no will
deny. After all what’s a hens party without food and a whole lots of gossip.
‘Picture abhi baaki hain mere dost’. We were handed over 2
bag of goodies each. One from Vellvette and other from EA. Wow!! It was a
feeling I got when I would get back from a friend’s birthday party with return
gifts. Awesome goodies!! I will be reviewing the EA products soon.
We also got to sign our thoughts on a huge paper which will be
a part of the Vellvette Dairy records. Cute!!
We parted after this group picture. Ahhh.. All’s well that
ends well...indeed.
