Pop-up RoC© boutique in London

In the same thrifty vein that permeates my writing of late, I thought a free skin analysis would be a welcome afternoon activity for the working ladies of central London, no? Where and when is this happening, your internal voice screams!? Tomorrow, RoC© skincare is opening a one-day-only pop-up shop called La Dermecie De RoC© to premiere its new Wrinkle Correxion range and offer the following to those who stop by: free skin analysis, 10-minute mini-facials with RoC© ranges, makeup master classes with RUBY HAMMER (at 12:30pm, 2:30pm and 4:30pm... don't be late) and free RoC© product samples. 

If there's anything I've learned in this industry, it's that free products and treatments attract people like bees to honey so don't dawdle especially because the first 50 lovelies to visit La Dermecie get a free product from the new Wrinkle Correxion range.

Long live the product giveaway and beauty pop-up boutique.
