A few nights ago Tresemme very kindly treated a few of us blogger types to a date night.
They wined us, dined us and took us to a show.
Not just any show, Cirque du Soleil at The Royal Albert Hall.
I don't tend to go to many blogger events, but it's nice to get out & meet some other webby people now & then.
We started with champagne and tray after tray of delicious canapés.
The duck salad & fois gras lollypops were firm favourites & disappeared alarmingly quickly!
While we caught up and nibbled away, we heard all about the new range "Platinum Strength".
(We'd actually all already tried sneaky pre-release samples, so we all had big glossy locks to prove its worth!)
Some of the girls had their hair jujed and had a little chat to camera about their thoughts on the goodies.
Doesn't Emma look beautiful? Look at those curls!
Once we'd all said our piece, we moved into the theatre & got ready for the show to begin.
Our box had already been fully loaded with drinks & snacks, we were being well & truly spoiled!
The best thing about being out with bloggers?
You never need to feel bad about taking photos! Everyone's as snap happy as each other.
I'm not going to show you every part of the show because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who's going... I'll just give you a little taste.
A sure fire winner whether you're taking a date or the family.
Ticket info here.
Oh and if you're struggling to control your hair at the mo, keep an eye out for the new Platinum range. The little miracle shot is my favourite, just pop it on for a few mins when you're in the shower & you'll be left with super soft, shiny locks (I'm not saying that because they took me on a date, it actually is awesome stuff. Scouts honour.)
Wow I am so jealous I've always wanted to see the Cirque du Soleil, now I reckon you've given me the last little nudge to get those tickets and see it at long long last!
ReplyDeleteFood looks amazing as always too!

See you next Saturday Rose, can't wait to met you! x
I saw this last week - wasn't it brilliant? I think my favourite bit was the two-wheeled thing you've taken a picture of - so impressive! Glad you liked it too :)
ReplyDeleteLa Vie Quotidienne
The wheel of death?! Me too!
DeleteIs this where you met Fleur De Force?
ReplyDeleteDo you normally use Tresemme? I've been trying to find a shampoo that is "the one" but its been tricky. i tried TIGI's bed head but i didn't love it...relying on pantene at the moment but i was wondering if you had a favorite product to recommend (for long thick wavy/straight hair). lovely post, looks like a magical show :) xx
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia, yea I tend to use tresemme and that keratese (sp?) stuff.
DeleteI mostly use the treseme masks, conditioners & dry shampoos! x
... This response does not look or sound like it is actually from Rosie.
DeleteOMG Keratase is the bessssst. If it wasn't so expensive I'd use it all the time. SO HAPPY YOURE FINALLY TALLKING ABOUT YOUR HAIR ROSIE!! xxxx
DeleteThanks for replying Rose! I'll go give Tresemme a try :)
DeleteJust out of curiosity: why don't you like going to blogger events?
ReplyDeleteThe show looks awesome :)
Umm.. I don't like blogging about companies that I don't really 'believe' in, and I think a lot of blogger events are organised to get you to do just that.
DeleteI've used tresemme for years & genuinely enjoy the company of the bloggers they always invite, so I always say yes to them, even if I don't usually blog about them!
Does that make sense? x
This is one of the things I love about you. Don't ever change!
DeleteKellie xx
Makes complete sense :) x
DeleteChampagne and Cirque du Soleil? Works for me! Both never disappoint:)
ReplyDeleteWhat did you wear?
I wore jeans, black heels, this black leotard & a blazer. (Slutty leotard was because I went out afterwards! Didn't take my blazer off in the hall.) x
DeleteI went to see the show they were doing last year at the Albert Hall...the warm up act is one of my favourite bits!
ReplyDeleteMe too! And the dog was hilarious.
DeleteMiss the posts of you and food porn
ReplyDeleteMore coming soon! I post food porn on instagram all the time, maybe follow me there? x
DeleteCirque de Soleil is A M A Z I N G! I went once a few years ago and became numb to how amazing what they were doing was, they made it look so easy. I started to have thoughts like 'I could do a handstand balancing on one hand over a platform of lightbulbs while balancing an upside down pyramid of people!' Then I'd snap out of it and realise just how strong the performers are!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so amazing! What a lovely blogger date!

Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Tresemme products but always had the voice of my hairdresser in my head telling me to keep away from Supermarket products as they pushed me to buy their salon's stuff. Then, while I was at my sister's place recently, she told me that supermarket stuff is better for your hair, according to her hairdresser! I've never had any significant damage from straightening and blow drying every day when I use Tresemme (or even Clairol etc) and I'm now eager to try the stuff you've recommended. Thanks!

Ohhhh so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI wish things like that occurred in my area - if I'm lucky they might happen three hours away...
ReplyDeleteMy jealousy is really unwritable. Looks like it was an amazing night out.

I love Tressemme products...so inexpensive, and yet they work so well! I've always wanted to see a Cirque du Soleil show - it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteRose, I truly love you & your blog-so I'm going to be honest with you.
ReplyDeleteSince I've been reading & loving your adventures for a while now....I couldn't help feeling...that this post seemed.... a little...(spit it out already!)..commercially :/
This was different for me then your post on the Morocco trip for instance-rather than being an amazing cultural experience that you got to share with us, and that also happens to have a sponsor, this seemed more like a straight-up plug for Tresemme that happened to include a trip to the theater.
It's your blog & you retain the right to post exactly what you want, when you want! I just love that you and it feel so genuine-just your uncontrived real life with some major glam thrown in :) I would hate to see that change with Ad's & such.
Again, love you to pieces-just my two cents :)
Hey Victoria,
DeleteI see where you're coming from, but really I just wanted to be honest about why I was there and who with. Tresemme haven't paid me to say anything & I really do love & use their products almost every day!
I hope you know I'd never say anything I didn't truly believe. I frequently turn down crazy amounts of money to do just that!
Sorry you didn't like this post, hopefully you'll like the rest of the week's ones a bit more.

What a joke Victoria. You think this is "commercially" (not a word) look at some of the other bloggers who went!
DeleteOne

I'm a blogger and I go to these events all the time, Rosie must get invited to a billion a week. You should be grateful she has integrity unlike most of the freebee grabbers.
If you don't like a post don't read it. I don't write to HBO every time there's an episode I didn't like!!
I know you're only standing up for me anon but everyone's entitled to their opinion, I don't mind feedback! x
DeleteIf one's profession is blogging, has to go those events.
DeleteThank you so much for your candor Rose-I only felt comfortable being honest a with you in my comments BECAUSE you are so honest with us as readers, and have been for such a long time. Btw, I may have had some "feelings" about this specific post, but I always have 100% respect for what you do in letting us into your life almost everyday through this medium-and I'm incredibly appreciative of that :) Very much looking forward to keeping up with your adventures this week!
DeleteWhat a great date! Tresemme just upped the date game!
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo excited that you went to Cirque du Soleil!! I'm such a huge fan and going to another show this Friday! :) So perfect timing in writing this post :)
ReplyDeleteSince you liked this show: If you ever get the chance to watch "Varekai" or if you happen to go to Las Vegas where "O" takes place (If I only needed one reason for Vegas it'd be O) - go watch it!!! :)
All in all it looks like a very fun event! :)
I would LOVE to see them in Vegas Julia! Very jealous x
Deleteso Charming...so Artistic Your photo con il calice di Champagne...Cheers!
ReplyDeleteCiao
Looks like such a wonderful night!

I thought Foie Gras was illegal in the UK?
ReplyDeleteWhere on earth did you get that from?!
DeleteI remember studying Cirque du Soleil in my management strategy classes about why they became so popular. never managed to see them live though!
ReplyDeleteI saw it in Beijing a while back and was soooo scared that the two guys in the rotating/spinning wheel thing would fall. I was literally on the edge of my seat! Glad you had a good time :)

Looks like a fabulous evening, I really want to see the show! Also, those duck salads look divine, your blog is always a joy!
ReplyDeleteHannahMay xo
If only my Tresseme shampoo was not so drying...
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're using the wrong range, Ra?
DeleteWhat a great date! Looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteyour photos are always so good! what camera do you use? :-) http://www.zoeiphoto.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThis look amazing! My Mom once offered to take me to see Cirque du Soleil and I turned her down at the time and I've always regretted it. Looks like a fabulous night :)
ReplyDeletelooks incredible! really want to get myself there x

Love. Cirque du Soleil shows are so amazing. Dralion was my favorite of the three I've seen. I never cease to be left speechless by the feats of those performers. They are artists.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had such a good time. Great experience, I'm sure.
Oh I'm actually going to watch it on Friday eve!!
ReplyDeletexXx
