GOING ON A BRAND TRIP | I WAS REALLY NERVOUS | ZOE RAE

Hello guys, welcome back to another video.I am genuinely buzzing with excitement.I have, I don't know what to say.I'm about to go on the grand trip of a lifetime.Welcome back to a great video.It's going to be a great one, I'm sure of it.

Although that's if I can vlog in public.There's going to be a lot of public vlogging going on.Welcome back to another video.How are you all doing?I hope we're doing well.I am, I sure am.

I genuinely, like, I can't explain what the next few days of my life are going to look like.I think they're going to look incredible and we're not ready.You and I, we're not ready.This isn't normal.Basically, basically, let me get to the point.I have just checked into my hotel in Shepherds Bush, in Shepherds Bush tonight because I'm catching a flight at 7am tomorrow to the French Riviera.

I'm flying to Marseille with one of my favourite brands ever, Arborian.Like, I'm sorry, I That is so pinch me.Eborian, if you've not heard of Eborian, they're a skincare brand and I am just obsessed.Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed.And we are going to celebrate the launch of their new Hydra range, which I'm actually a huge part of because I'm like, I was the girl doing the photo shoot to announce the launch of the products.Like that's so mad.

But I'm not going to chat to you for long here.I think we'll just get properly started tomorrow because it's currently 20 to 10.and my alarm's going at 4 .15.So that's not great.So I need to really be asleep now and my suitcase is still open.I need to sort my life out.

I could do with a shower.I don't know whether to take this hair out now or take it out in the morning.I had a blow dryer and it got pinned.That was like a few hours ago.Do I take it out now?I think I might take it out now.

Maybe I could just take it out, but not brush it out.

How about that?Let's try that.

Yeah, Eborian have very, very kindly invited me onbrand trip with them and like I've said before I don't really do many brand trips so this to me it's a little bit daunting in itself.Oh and then I received the guest list which to be honest daunted me even a little bit more because there's some really cool people going and everyone's unreal and like models and God, I just hope I fit in.Now I'm messing, I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm sure everyone will be so lovely but it's just, I don't know, I'm just a bit scared.I'm also so excited because I've seen the itinerary, it looks incredible and We're only going for two nights.We're all going to like, I just feel like we're all going to want to stay longer because it's going to be so good and so nice.

I had a little peep at the island where we're going and it looks incredible.We've just got so many positive, nice, lovely things to say about the next few days and I'm not even there yet, I've not even experienced it and I just know it's going to be incredible.The Emborium team are so lovely.When I did the shoot with them they made me feel like so at ease and so comfortable and they all knew that like it was a little bit out of my comfort zone but like they really just really great and really pulled through and I'm so excited to like be partnering with them and like have this little partnership and this hopefully ongoing relationship with Eborium because yeah I just loved everyone else.I love the team and I just think this is a start.It's like really fun and exciting.

Look at me I look like Shirley Temple.Who's Shirley Temple?Shirley Temple someone.My mum said something earlier about someone looking like Shirley Temple.I'm glad I've taken them out now guys because if I was taking these out in the morning and I looked like this I think I'd be a bit upset.so they're gonna drop yeah i'm gonna do my best to vlog over the next few days can't wait to show you guys what we got up to and like i can't wait to see myself to be honest it was definitely more in there it was like eye tapes oh my god guys look at that oh no i think that's too much for me i don't know if that suits me no i don't know about that

Guys, I don't know about this.I don't think I can go to the airport like this.

I mean, listen, it's a good blow -dry, but I just think it looks a little bit silly, don't I?

Yeah, guys, welcome back to another video.I'm just going to quickly open this because I thought it would be quite fun to go through this together.I've just dropped this off at the room.I don't know what's in it.I don't know what's in it.Let's have a look.

A toothbrush?No.It was a toothbrush?Shut up.So cool.An electric toothbrush.

That is so good.I'm so buzzing with that.And then we've got here...Oh, we've got a note.We've got a note.We've got a big wash bag of stuff.

Let's go through that in a second.My fake boarding pass.Gosh, I'm getting too overwhelmed and excited.My hair is too much.I should read it.Zoe, we couldn't send you off without a few pre -flight essentials, including an exclusive first look at our new collection before takeoff.

Oh gosh, I need to get through that immediately.Your airport security tray is officially Arborian approved.We can't wait to travel with you on Monday.

I am overwhelmed is what I am.

This is good, I need like a clear, oh I wish I had a bigger bag.I need a clear bag really.A bigger bag, this is all I've taken to the airport with me. I might have to buy like a little tote bag or something.Because I would love to take this through.Guys this is, this is adorable, I'm sorry.So we've got a gorgeous little bag here.

Lawn clip, cute.Very much on theme this.And then this is the new Hydra range that I did the shoot for and that we are celebrating the launch of.This, this is my favourite.I think possibly ever.I've been actually wearing it for quite a long time but I've not really been able to tell you guys what I've been wearing.

Like a lot of you have said, oh your skin looks so glowy, like there's been a few times I've come on here and I'm like oh my god my skin looks so glowy and it's because I've been wearing this but I've not been able to be like oh I'm wearing this.This is the new Arborian Glow Moisturiser.looks like this the one I have is actually in a way bigger bottle this is just mini travel size super cute and have the same but in like a matte so if you like more of a matte look this one is for you I think I'm definitely more of a glowy girl but I love them both and then there is a water serum as well which I love I'll show you that probably another time water shot mask that's i really wish i had a bigger bag haven't i got a tote bag silly goose then i have the infamous cc cream of course you all know about that this is some deodorant mini shampoo i'm assuming mini Conditioner.Toothpaste.I might actually nip down to reception and see if they've got like a tote bag or anything.And some electrolyte sachet.

Yeah, I'm just gonna nip down to reception actually and see if they've got a tote bag.Guys, thank you so much for clicking on this video.I think I'll chat to you in the morning.I don't know what time.Maybe not before I am because that would be a bit dramatic, wouldn't it?I just need to get to bed, I think.

That's what I need to do.I need to calm this hair down.I need to get a shower.And I need to go to bed.But I'm so excited to bring you guys along with me on this trip.Morning.

It's twenty past four.

uh yeah this is the water serum i was talking about by the way pop some of this on i don't know whether it's for makeup or not really i don't know i'm gonna decideI'm going to go for the matte moisturiser this morning.I also fancy something different.Oh yeah, there's definitely a lot more matte.Oh yeah, there is a big difference.LV.

Right, I'm going to finish getting ready.I think I've got like 10 minutes to be downstairs.

Guys, we're on the boat.

I'm absolutely useless.Same as I was at the hotel last night.

I'm so sorry.

I actually did say, I was like guys this is going to be the best vlog ever, like I'm going to speak to you so much.Is this the first time you've spoken to me?No I've spoken, yes it's my hotel room.

I saw you filming earlier like this and I was thinking she's not going to say anything.

I'll do a voiceover.

I'm not the same.And you know when we was on the back, I was like, I'm just going to go out and say it.You did so well!You know you've just got to start talking.She ain't like me, eh?I don't want to cause a scene, but I'm just going to come out and say it.

We're at lunch.This is our menu.We've just got ourselves...I've got mine.Yeah, I've got mine too.

I've got five, but...Do you think we're going to get all three of these?I hope so.Yeah, we will.Today's cat from the city.Is today's cat?

Yes.What is it then?fresh catch of the day for us give her a try shall we give this girlie a try I'm lost for words.

We've just checked into the hotel room.We are in France.I don't know if I've vlogged or whatever I've done so far.I'm three or four upper rolls deep.I'm going to be honest.Um, but yeah, we've just checked into the hotel room.

I am speechless.This is absolutely the most incredible room.Aesthetically beautiful room I have ever staged in my entire life.Let me just show you quickly So the front door is here is huge by the way in here We have the bathroom which is literally bigger than my whole bedroom at home That bath is a joke and then through here.We have like sitting room living room area through here the bedroom No, I'm sorry.And the view that view is not Normal, I'm lost for words.

We've just had the most gorgeous lunch.We've had a few drinks and excited.I just feel like I wish we had a bit longer here.Like we've got all day tomorrow.We're going out for dinner soon in a few hours.I think we can go chill by the pool first.

We'll go out for dinner and then we've got all day tomorrow and then we go home the next day.I need my suitcase.I feel like the suitcases are meant to be in the rooms and they're not.Hey gang, we are back in the room.Getting ready for our dinner.I've just put some glowy moisturizer on.

This glow moisturizer, to be precise.I actually put it on after my water serum.My face feels super fresh, ready for a full face of makeup.I'm not gonna go heavy.Oh no, I've got a spot.Oh no.

Hmm, that's all right.Maybe because I've just been rubbing my face, it's come off a bit red.I'm not going to do full face of makeup because it's a dressy but chill dinner.And I think they're about to come around the rooms with some gifting.I'm not sure what.It keeps saying like, room service, be ready, something's coming.

So I'm just like patiently waiting before I get ready.I can hear, maybe I'll wait in here.I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.Wow!Amazing, oh my goodness.This is so good.

May I offer you a cocktail?A cocktail?

Please, a cocktail would be lovely.Thank you so much.

So we are here inspiring this cocktail with herbarium.So we have the lemony and fresh at the basic.And we will add on the top a very nice foam of vanilla and orchids.So we have different textures, different streaks of flavors.

No pressure.

Am I the first guest?

Oh wow, look at that.

It's so good.Thank you so much Not the room service.

That was so cool.She fully made a cocktail right in front of me. I was so good by the way I've just had a sip.It's so strong.I can't remember what she said was in it, but it's so strong My god, it burns your gullet when it goes down and they just dropped off some more product, which I'm really excited aboutabout because i'm going through that water serum like it's no tomorrow guys i'm ready for dinner i actually fun fact got a stylist for this trip which i wasn't gonna say i don't know why i wasn't gonna say i think i was just gonna like make it out like i'd planned all these outfits myself when you guys suddenly would be like wow sally like how did you when did you learn how to dress but i did get a stylist because everyone on this trip is so cool and i was like i don't want to look uncool um so yeah It was, I feel like I want to do that all the time.Like getting a stylist, it's been so easy and like saved me so much worry and stress.

But this is my outfit for our first event this evening.You guys always shout at me for playing with my hair.Um, nevermind.I probably should redo my hair, but I can't be bothered.Um, this is my first outfit.It's from a brand called Hyphen.

I'm going to be honest, a lot of my outfits for this trip are from Hyphen, but I just feel like they're so me.They're so like, kind of casual, but also really dressy.And I just love them.I love feeling super covered and I like a little bit of skin, but I just, honestly, I really, really love this outfit.The second I put it on, I was like, I'm definitely wearing that.So yeah, this is outfit number one.

My outfit tomorrow is from Hyphen, but I can't decide between two outfits.I think I know what I want to go for, but it's very similar to this.I just feel like I really, really like this style.I've just done really light makeup.

I'm gonna Yeah, I think I'll pop you in my bag and take you with me.But yeah, I'm really happy.Go have our dinner.

Guys, this is our dinner setting tonight.How insane is this?I'm sorry.Absolutely incredible.All the girls look so good as well.You can see the sunset.

What the hell?Sunset?She's forcing herself to get a picture because she doesn't think the sky is ever going to be like that again.

We're so hungry.Wow, look at you.

Oh my god, the sky.I really, I sit like this, just like a mum.I'm like, really.You didn't put any thought into that whatsoever.

Is the flashlight on it?

Um, oh, no.Good morning, everyone.Cheers.8 .20.Just throwing on some gym clothes because we're actually going to do a Pilates session this morning.Got on this little whole snack for my protein and some Free People short switch.

Really just holiday approved.I don't feel like I would, I don't know if I would do anything at home in these.Just sitting there a bit holiday vibes.Do you know what I mean?This is me, popped on these little sunnies from ASOS.I need to charge my camera.

Yeah, we're going to go and do a Pilates class this morning and then we've got a full busy day of activities, I believe.We've got breakfast after Pilates, which I'm already really looking forward to.I'm tempted to have this little protein ball, my apricot and pistachio energy ball.Okay, right, let's go and do Pilates together, then we can have some breakfast.Just heading down to Pilates, look at this.

Guys, look at this, oh my god.

It's insane, it's our little Pilates set up.Guys, they've made me go at the front.I was at the back and they were like, no, no, come forward.So I've come forward.This is our mat.These mats are gorgeous, by the way.

So nice.They're like cork.I can't describe it.So nice.Got some weights.This bottle is cute.

What the hell?Oh my god, that is the coolest bottle ever That's so nice That's so cool.Oh My god, this is cute.Yeah, that's cute shame.

I'm wearing pink or I put this on Electrolytes, I've actually already got electrolytes in my Stanley She's sweating.

We have just arrived at our little beach club location.I wouldn't call it a beach club, I'd call it more just like a private little beachy area.It's so gorgeous and so aesthetic.I'll tell you one thing guys, content isn't going to be a problem here.Like hell no.No way.

Lovely view of the sea here.We've just taken this one here, me, Kyra and Zid.This is our little set for the day.Looking lovely.Oh yeah, you should have.That would have been so cute.

You can borrow someone else's.Someone will have brought theirs.I just put my hair up in a claw clip because it's super hot and it was a bit windy earlier so I just thought it's just easier to keep it out of the way.I've got a blue set on from Maybe and a bikini from Away That Day which I really like.but this is so lovely i think we're here for a couple of hours how pretty and then we're going for a dinner tonight but we're going on a boat ride together which is fun i think we're going to have a couple of afrols maybe a hugo i'm so undecided if i'm an afro girl or a hugo girl like i definitely used to be an afro girl but i think hugo express are like really coming like i've only really heard about hugo express recently so I think I could be more of a Hugo Spritz girl now.Same to the girls guys.

Girls guys.Sometimes I can have six afros and they're not touch the size.I can have one and a half.I don't know who I am.I think the drinks are really strong I'm gonna be quite frank I don't even know if I like tiramisu guys but we're about to try it I mean it looks incredible to be honest Oh my god that is so good I'm bad at vlogging on the street It's been so hard, I'm going to be honest.I feel like vlogging in front of my home friends is so much easier than vlogging in front of people that are already influencers and already content creators because, oh my god, it's just so awkward.

Like, we've all been saying the same thing, like, it's just awkward.I literally can't do it.However, I am ready for the last night.I am wearing this lovely two -piece from, again, hyphen.I feel like honestly all my outfits are born from hyphen and I don't know whether to pop these on but all the pictures and all the bits of content that I've got are in sunny's but I'mI feel like I just suit sunnies so much better than no sunnies.

I think what I'll do is I'll put them in my bag.Yeah, this is me, this is my outfit.We're about to get on a boat ride to dinner.We've had so much fun today, honestly it's just been like a day of laughs and a day of fun things we play loads of games i do like this outfit just don't know if it's very me it's quite cool my stylist did tell me this was a cool outfit so i believe her just popped some little earrings in from h &m let's go and get a lovely boat ride to dinner bring you guys with me and show you what i can honestly It's not really been, I've not really been as good at vlogging as I thought I'd be on this trip.I just thought like vlogging around people that did the same thing would be easier, but actually it's so much harder.Guys, we've just done a 50 minute boat journey and we're pulling up to our dinner spot.

I don't know if you can see that in the distance.Hold on.Oh my God.I'm going to fall off.I'm wobbling.

Oh my God.No, I just really lost my balance then.

Hold on, let me zoom out there.That's where we're having dinner.How nice is that?But we're just pulling up.It's been quite rocky to be honest.Normally I get really seasick, but actually I've been so okay.

Really okay, which I'm really pleased about because I am such a travel sick person.

And I've been sat outside the whole time looking at the lights, which has probably made a big difference.

Guys, we've just got on the tiny little dinghy to take us to dinner and it's actually just started, and we're like, let's go.Did you remember what I said in the room?Guys I am back in Manchester.Oh my goodness.I have hadsuch a whirlwind of a few weeks I really feel like I am so grateful for every single opportunity that I am given and get but I have never craved time at home more than right now really craving and needing some routine at home and I actually think I've got like three weeks at home now which I'm really excited about no plans so far But yeah, I'm sorry this video ended so abruptly.

Basically, we went to dinner and unfortunately, it kind of like started raining.So then I just didn't really get my camera out and I just kind of wanted to be in the moment and enjoy the last dinner.I don't know, I was really apprehensive before about going, like I literally only knew one of the girls, I only knew Sid before.So I was, yeah, a little bit apprehensive about meeting all the other girls.But I came away with some really good friends, like I really, it's so weird like literally over 48 hours how close to people you can get and how good a friend you can make just after a few days like we literally left at the end normally if ever i leave a trip i'm like okay i'm ready to go now but at the end i was like i actually don't want to leave you girls like we've had such a nice time together and i'm actually going to miss you all um that's truly how i felt as well so hopefully and if i'm lucky enough to get invited on other brand trips going forward like we can have a bit of a reunion we all lead such busy lives and we always always say like i'm oh you know we'll catch up we'll meet up but like you just don't you do if you really make the effort to but when everyone's got as busy lives as we do um tends to not happen we tend to see each other at work things so i'm also i've just edited that back and i i did mention that you guys do comment about how much i play with my hair and i didn't realize how much i played with my hair until i just edited that back i don't know if it was because like i'd had a few drinks that i was um playing with my hair so much, but like, I'm just like, I think there was one point where I'm like trying to tie it up in a ponytail, like doing this, putting it up in a ponytail.I don't even have a hairband on my wrist so I can just drop it.

So sorry, if you find that annoying, I will try and stop doing that so much.But I also, very quickly whilst I'm here, I never showed you my actual favourite product ever really from Eborin and like what allowed me to start working with them in the first place and the product that I always shouts about before.Oh, this is going to be too dark for me. I think I'm not gonna be able to use it, but it's basically this CC cream and it comes out clear.Let me show you.It comes out clear.And if you get the right shade, it like blends to the colour of your skin.

Look at that.This one is too dark for me.But if that was my shade, it's honestly, it's so good.It's the nicest product ever.And for someone like me who doesn't really like wearing foundation or really heavy makeup, it is a game changer.It's so good.

I love wearing it.I actually lent some to my mum the other day and she put it on and I've never seen her skin look so nice in her life.She just looks so like, um what's the word like blurred blurred i guess blurred and like even and like your skin just looks all one tone and it's so nice i need to give this one away actually because that is so dark for me this is shade caramel i think i'm normally like shade adore or something i think it's d -o -r -e um with arborean you can actually get 20 off using my code zoe20 over all of june and all of july which i really insist that you do and if you've not um tried any of their products before see if you can try some of the CC cream of course but yeah um the water serum and the two moisturizers I spoke about in this vlog are a must like that the glow moisturizer honestly is is such a nice product and it's I just think it's so affordable as well I feel like there's so many of these high -end products that make your skin look so glowy and lovely but they're just so so expensiveSo yeah, these were affordable, and if you use my code Zoe20, you will get an extra 20 % off.So I suggest you do that if you can.

Yeah, I really did think I would be better at vlogging on this trip, but I hope the bits that you saw and the bits I was able to film for you, you still enjoyed.

I'm gonna love you and leave you here.Thank you so, so much for watching, and I'm gonna get started next week on my next video.Yeah, really hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you soon for my next one.Bye.
