Benefit Master Class

If you have been with me online for a long time you'll know that Benefit Cosmetics are my all time favourite makeup brand! Honestly, my whole face is practically all of their products. So when I got invited to their Trend Team Master Class I was very excited!

The class is run by Trend Team Members at Benefit and on the night they show you a tutorial that is on trend at the moment to let you get a feel for what's popular in the world of makeup. The lovely Hayley was the featured artist for the night!

She showed off her techniques and tricks at applying makeup, some of which I would never of done myself before but after this class I've been trying them out. One thing that I tried today for example was avoiding putting foundation under my eyes and putting concealer on instead to avoid creasing and I have to say it worked really nicely all day and considering I applied at 6am this morning it stayed in place all day a lot better than it would have before! 

Some party food and drinks were available on the night too! (I went straight for those cupcakes after I took my photo not even gonna lie) As well as a raffle prize draw that had three fantastic prizes you could win, the first one being a makeover for you and a friend with Hayley at the Benefit counter, a complimentary brow wax and tint and a massive beauty hamper!

All the girls running the event let us play around with different products and helped colour match any that we weren't sure of. If you bought two products you also got an exclusive gift set for free. I do have a new list of things I want to try out that's for sure! 

Goodies bags were also given at the start of the event which included a bunch of lovely things. Some testers of a few of their newest products to try like their newly repackaged Boiing Concelars. Even a cute little poncho! (which I totally should of used on the way home to guard myself from the lovely Scottish Summer rain!) Tickets cost £20 and you will also receive a brow product of your choice in your goodie bag too. 

My personal favourite is this GORGEOUS little mirror!

This is the first event I've been to in about a year and usually it's really nerve wracking for me. I do have a lot of anxiety about doing these kinds of things which normally stops me from gaining the confidence to go. This time I decided to step out of my bubble to go and have a good time. 

When I arrived I could not have felt more welcomed by everyone. One of the biggest reasons that I love Benefit so much is their team members. They are so incredibly lovely and always have time for you, it really says a lot about the brand when they have such a strong bunch of people working for them. Every time I go to a counter for a look around they will always take the time to get to know what I like and what I'm looking for. 

Running an event can be one of the most scariest things to do, something I completely understand from their point of view. I want to say a massive well done to all the girls for putting on a fantastic night, it was very well organised and really inspired me to try new things with my makeup. I would highly recommend to any beauty lovers who may want to attend any future Master Classes, it's a great night all round and a nice thing to do with friends. 

Thank you everyone at Benefit for having me, I had an amazing time!
