Benefit Fake Up Event.

Friday the 8th March saw the #FakeUp event for Benefits brand new concealer. I couldn't believe it when i saw the email in my inbox i knew i had to attend. I went along with Sam and met up with Rachel and Dan.

The venue the event was held in was a stunning hotel in Leeds city centre called Malmaisson. It was absolutely stunning. Not long after arriving we were greeted with champagne and had a mingle with some other bloggers.

Obviously be being the socially awkward child i am, just sat in the corner and didn't really speak to anyone. I did see a few familiar faces from other events tho and did speak to a lovely blogger called Jade.

 Leading the event was Lisa Potter-Dixon. She is the head Make-Up and Trend Artist and Brow Expert for Benefit.
The event was mainly showing us their new concealer Fake Up. This products comes in 3 shades; Light, Medium and Dark. We were kindly given all three to go home with and try out for ourselves. Obviously i would never be able to wear the darkest shade but we were taught a clever little trick. Use it as a contour. I know Sam has tried this out and really likes it. I'm not really one for contouring i find it pretty scary but i will keep trying at it. One day i hope to master it. The concealer is a hydrating crease-control concealer. It is nothing like anything on the market at the moment as the concealer is in the middle of a hydrating balm filled with Vitamin E and Apple seed extract. I will be posting a full review soon.
Some other bloggers were lucky enough to come away with some other amazing goodies after answering questions and we were all also given Hello Flawless powder.

Overall the event was amazing. I had a fabulous time and got to try out some potentially amazing products. I cant wait for another.

OOTD | Benefit Event

On Friday i attended the Benefit #FakeUp Event. Here is what i wore.

Dress - Boohoo.com
Tights - Primark
Bag - Primark
Heels - Primark
Nails - Nails Ink Leather Effect

I didn't go too dressed up as i didn't want to be the one who is over dressed. However i did want to look presentable. As i had been quite ill this week i didnt want to wear anything too fussy so just went with a simple skater dress and added a belt. I wish i hadnt worn these heels as ever since being prengant i just cannot walk in them. I thought id give it a go put the pain got the better of me by the end of the night. 

Benefit Lipstick | Review

"benefit love your look full-finish lipsticks are the ultimate vacation colours... glide them on for a dreamy look day or night!"


As you all know, I'm not one for experimenting with lipsticks. I tend to stick to 3 out of around 14 lipsticks i own. 17's Beehive, Rimmel's Vintage Pink and MUA's Number 7.

Last month i attended Benefits Fine One One Event. (which I'm yet to blog about, keep your eyes peeled for it). I couldn't not leave empty handed so i picked up one of their Full Finish Lipsticks in the shade Do Tell.
It is slightly pinker than the Rimmel Vintage Pink one, however it is much more purple than pink, and a lot more glossy. It is really moisturising and looks great on. It is so soft to apply and really pigmented which is great. I love the fact that i feel comfortable wearing this with anything.
 I am a little disappointed in the lasting time though. On myself, id say it lasts around 3 - 4 hours on a general day.

This is my first benefit product, bar samples, and i am slightly not impressed. Only slightly mind. Only because i thought it would last much longer than it did.  However, i do love the product and the packaging looks great. If i am feeling dangerous i may pick up a few more that i have my eye on. I don't mind applying lippy a few times a day ;)
