Botanical Workshop

Good’s sold-out beauty workshop at Orakei Bay with Linden Leaves, in association with Mission Estate Winery, was another success.

Linden Leaves share the process for making their Memories Body Oil

Stunning views met sunkissed light filtering through The Gallery at Orakei Bay on the afternoon of May 26 for Good’s beauty and botanicals event with Linden Leaves and Mission Estate Winery. Guests were treated to delicious canapes on arrival, as well as bubbles from Mission Estate Winery, before learning more about the Hawke’s Bay winery’s delicious selection of tipples from expert Michelle Fraser. Next it was time to hear from legendary Linden Leaves founder Brigit Blair who shared her family’s personal skincare journey that led to the creation of her business, now 23 years strong and recently crowned the Best New Zealand Beauty Brand at the Best in Beauty Awards.

Blair guided guests through the process of making their very own Aromatherapy Synergy Memories Body Oil, with each bottle containing real freeze-dried roses and fruits grown especially for Linden Leaves in Christchurch.

Everyone left with a body oil to take home, along with a generous goody bag which included other Linden Leaves samples, a wine glass from Mission Estate, some banana treats from All Good Organics, a Karen Murrell lipstick, Artemis Slim Tea, Arnica Sports Gel from Weleda and some miscellar water make-up wipes from Swisspers. g
