After sharing a lift with Lisa (and not noticing due to panicking about my fringe being drenched and going all curly, face palm!), we were greeted with Prosecco and left to talk amongst ourself before we had a quick quiz about Fake Up with the chance to win their new Famous Neutrals palettes of which I am absolutely lusting after (if only I'd swotted up!).
Fake Up is Benefit's new 'hydrating crease-control concealer' consisting of the concealer in the middle which comes in 3 shades (01 - Light, 02 - Medium, 03 - Deep) which Benefit claims to hide dark circles, smooths skin and diffuses light surrounded by a hydrating ring of vitamin E & apple seed extract! (I've yet to give this a proper test so my review will be up in around a week!)
We were treated to a talk from Lisa Potter-Dixon (head make up artist @ Benefit) about their 3 most recent product launches... Fine One One, World Famous Neutrals and of course Fake Up and were given some little tricks.
- Use a highlighter in your cupids bow (this is probably common knowledge but completely new to me)
- Use Shade 3 (Deep) of Fake Up for contouring
- When a mascara starts to dry up, pop the tube in a cup of hot water for a short while
I had the best night, it was so lovely meeting so many bloggers including Daniella from beautyinjapan, Phee from pheesmakeuptips, Charlotte from charlottescollection, Em from emtalks, Kel from kelloves, Claire from swidigs, Jade from beautybutterflyblog and Joanna from mintyessence. (if anyone else was there drop me your links because I need to make sure I'm following every #bbleeds!)
Also, Benefit absolutely spoilt us - I came away with Fake Up, Porefessional, & Hello Flawless powder due to it being HF's 1 year anniversary, aw :) Such a lucky "blogger".
