Benefit Event at Harvey Nichols

Last Wednesday, Meghan of Skin Deep Beautiful and I were invited to an event held by Benefit Cosmetics, at Harvey Nichols in Manchester. It was a lovely evening of free cupcakes and prosecco in the Personal Shopping department, where we were given the opportunity to have make overs, try out new products, and generally chat to new people and make up artists. The event cost £10, which was redeemable against products after the demonstrations and make overs. First up was the Eyes and Cheeks room- it was in a very strange order- where the artist used Gimme Brow, They're Real! Liner, and Roller Lash on me. Then, I was worked on by a different lady who used Hoola bronzer to contour my cheeks, and gloss on my lips to achieve a natural look. After this, we attended a demonstration on skincare and prepping before make up, then finally we were taken through to a complexion makeover, to demonstrate the foundations, concealers, and primers at Benefit. I'm not really a gloss or bronzer kind of girl, and I have adequate supplies of liners and mascaras, so I decided to focus my purchases mainly on skincare. I bought the Foamingly Clean facial wash, Refined Finish facial polish, It's Potent! eye cream, and the Porefessional primer. I'm so glad that I didn't rush in and buy glosses or liners that I would never use, because I love these products so much! I can't see myself ever living without Porefessional or It's Potent!, and I love the way that the cleansers do what I want them to do, without tightening my skin or leaving it still oily. My face feels so clean when I use these and I'm so glad I've finally found skincare products that work for me!
