Bristol Beauty Bloggers Benefit Event!

Last night I was invited to a beauty blogger event held by the Benefit girls who work in Boots, Bristol. There were 10 of us in total and we were treated to nibbles, fizz and lots of info about some of Benefit's key products!

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.

Sophie was the glamorous model for the evening.

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.

Check out our nibbles & cakes.

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:

I'm so excited about using It's Potent (£23.50 for 14.2g). We were told it can take up to 5 days before you notice a difference so I'll report back with the results. I've never tried a Benefit foundation before so I'm also eager to test this little sample of Hello Flawless (£24.50 for 30ml).

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?
