Afternoon Tea With Benefit

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited along to the Benefit Boutique on South William Street to have and cupcakes with the beautiful Sofia and Birthday Boy Mark and hear all of the latest Benefit Gossip, and obvious catch up with some beautiful blogger ladies. 

Me, The Lovely Sian from Forever Fabulous in Bows and Hannah from Love Laugh and Make Up

If you have been reading my blog a while you will know that I was lucky enough to be invited to the Launch of the Benefit Boutique back in November, so it was amazing to be invited back again to hear what Benefit have been up to these last few weeks. 

All of us lucky bloggers were treated to lovely cupcakes, cookies and tea to spend the afternoon in a beauty heaven, but of course there were also a few Benefit treats shown to us as well. 

We were lucky enough to be shown 3 of the newest products from the Benefit Family , and given a demonstration on how they all work. 

Lolli tint is the newest addition to Benefits coveted range of tints. In the fashionable Pantone colour of the year, this Lilac tint is the perfect colour for a unique pop on the cheeks and the lips. 

Agent Zero Shine is the newest beauty to the Pore-Fessional Line of products, one that I have adored for years. This is a mattifying powder to be used as a finishing touch to your make up. The beauty of it is that you only need a small amount to be used on your t-zone and chin so you are not wasting your product by using it all over your face. 

Gimme Brow is the latest newbie on the scene. Benefit are known as the master of the brow, and this is definitely helping to cement that. A gel like formula with the ease of the mascara style wand is the bases of this incredible product. It has mini hair like fibers within it that attach to your natural brow to give you a fuller looking style. It is an amazingly innovative product and I bet it will be a serious best seller. 

Ill make sure to give you all my reviews of these products once I’ve given them all a proper whirl. We were also lucky enough to be given a little sneak peak into the next must have release from benefit but for new that is our little secret. shhh! 

Of course a visit to Benefit is not complete without an Outfit of the Day picture. 

As some of you may know tomorrow the 11th is my birthday (YAYYYYYYY) So Saturday before benefit I spent my day shopping for presents with the boy and getting my hair newly cut so I could go out and enjoy my last remaining days of 21 in style after my trip to Benefit. So please excuse my slightly dressy outfit. Well for me its dressy at least. 

*Please excuse the extremely unflattering photo. The way the jacket sits when open really isn’t the best. 

Blazer-  Zara 

T-Shirt- COS

Jeans- Topshop

Boots- Gap

Necklace and Handbag- Both Chanel

Thanks so much you lovely Bene-babes for hosting such a fab afternoon, can’t wait for the next event already.
