The main product we were introduced to was Fake Up, Benefit's brand new hydrating concealer! Jade was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of this product so if you're interested you can read her review here. It was only released this morning but we were given a chance to play around with before it went on sale.
Concealer is a must for someone like me, I have fair skin and suffer with dark circles under my eyes. I love the fact that this product is hydrating so wont dry out my skin! We were also introduced to It's Potent, an eye cream which may just change my life. It's supposed to fade dark circles & helps to smooth fine lines.
Another great product the girls schooled us on was the POREfessional (£23.50), a balm that minimises the appearance of pores. I've been meaning to try this product for a while now because I have pores the size of small craters.
We were split into three groups, given a lemon and told to draw a line around it. The girls then handed us some POREfessional which we had to apply to one side of the lemon.
The difference was considerably noticeable, so noticeable that I'm 100% adding this product to my WANT list. My pores might not be as large as this poor lemon's but they aren't far off. POREfessional is just what the lemon doctor ordered.
Soon after we were allowed to try the products for ourselves, giving me the opportunity to use Fake Up (£18.50)! It felt really nice on my skin and provided good coverage. I'm hoping someone will buy this for me in June when I celebrate my second yearly birthday (haha).
After sampling the products it was quiz time! We were asked a bunch of Benefit related questions (it was a guess the product game) and because we were all winners, the girls gave us these cute samples to try:
It was then time for a scavenger hunt game aka find the Fake Up! Although I'm usually quite competitive, some of the girls were determined to win and as a result I left empty handed (booo!). Afterwards a few bloggers had their brows mapped (as a Brow Zing lover I didn't get involved) before we said our goodbyes and headed home.
It was a really fun night and I loved meeting the Benebabes and chatting to some of the other bloggers... Shout out to Hannah from Midnight Violets and the lovely Claire from Desperate Blogwife!
Have you tried any of these products?
T - Off to use It's Potent! XoX
I feel like the only blogger who didnt go to one of these things haha, super wanting this Fake up, it sounds really amazing
ReplyDeleteHope a blogger out there doesnt need their light shade and may be generous XD hehe

Haha, I'm also the palest shade going so I'm also available for any spares! ;)
DeleteOooh, you must try it and report back! I do want it but after trying my Hello Flawless sample, I think I want that more... xo

I need to get myself both - asap!
DeleteI've heard so many great things about that concealer, I usually use Touche Eclat as I also have the dreaded dark circles without it thanks to being so pale, but I definitely need to give this a try. The eye cream looks interesting too, I finally admitted last week that I actually need to start buying some, I can see the start of wrinkles! Arghh! :(
ReplyDeleteAs lovely as Touche Eclat is, I find I need a little bit more coverage! This seemed to give that which is good. Awww, well I don't see any wrinkles on you! I had a freak out a few months back and started using anti-wrinkle cream. SOB.xo
DeleteThat looks like it was such a fun event! I love Benefit products, I'm always stalking their shops for the new stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog!

DeleteThis look like so much fun! xx
ReplyDeleteThose Benebabes know how to throw a party!
DeleteA lemon?! That sounds really weird but if it worked on that then it must be pretty spesh! You ladies are selling this new concealer to me.. I suffer terribly with dark circles so it's def one for me to try.
ReplyDeleteX
I know, right!? Wah I need it too dude. I need to list these products in order of priority...I used my Hello Flawless sample today loved it! Hmmm...x
DeleteI had a small Porefessional and I loved it. This has made me just want to buy it again!

I wish I had the sample! It's magic. x
DeleteThis looks like so much fun! :) x Laura
ReplyDeleteIt sure was! :)
DeleteI've heard from friends that they make absolutely amazing product. Looks like such a fun event too! x
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you should definitely give them a whirl!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun evening! I got Hello Flawless and Brow Zings for Christmas and love them both. I'm not a big fan of foundation (and certainly not wearing it every day) but Hello Flawless is nice and lightweight :)
ReplyDeleteI also love how lightweight Hello Flawless is, I always like to keep things as natural as possible, except for statement brows ha! ;) xo
DeleteWow I am so jealous I love benefit products. Benefit + cupcakes = heaven lol. Can't wait to see what you think of 'Its Potent' I want to try it!

Haha so true! I'm still using it so will let you know after 5 days, fingers crossed! xo
DeleteI just adore Benefit. I use their mascara and brow zing everyday. This event looks like so much fun. I bet it was good to try other products too. I've always wondered what their primer is like. Great post, lovely photos too :) x
