The 7-city tour is inviting female consumers to explore the B. Skincare and Makeup collections, try the new products and even get a free make-over with a B. makeup professional at the brand’s pop-up beauty boutiques. Consumers also can take free B. skincare samples home and discover their skin phase through a special skin diagnostic tool on-site. In addition, they can also win £200 worth of B. products.

The brand’s media has been planned by Zenith Optimedia, River Publishing has developed the bisforbeautiful.co.uk website).

“The Beautiful Moments tour allows consumers to experience the B. brand in the perfect setting. Everything is on hand including expert advice, self-trial and skin diagnostics and we are excited to see our customers respond to the new brand,” commented Matt Walburn, Superdrug Marketing Director.
