This glitzy beauty event recently took over Balthazar in London's upscale Covent Garden district. Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has teamed up with the London version of New York City's French brasserie Balthazar for a series of immersive high tea sessions infused with a makeup and beauty twist.
The unique teatime series will last until the end of September 2016 and is available for public bookings. The adapted high tea experience will feature the usual assortment of sandwiches, scones, tea and will even include a custom ‘Bobbi’s Party Cocktail.’ The traditional cakes used in the high tea experience have been replaced by replicas of some of the most popular products in the Bobbi Brown Cosmetics range. For example, a redcurrant and lemon posset macaron makes up a replica of the Pot Rouge For Lips & Cheeks.
