Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a Benefit Bogger night at Cara Pharmacy in Galway. I was really excited to go as I wasn't as familiar with Benefit and was looking forward to trying out their range along with their new "Dream Screen" and "Instant Comeback Serum."
I was greeting by the lovely Tara and Sally, who really made our night so special. They rolled out the red carpet for us along with a selection of goodies and a glass of Prosecco. I was in my element surrounded by make-up and goodies! (What more can a girl as for right?)
The night started off with a little bit of background information about Benefit like for example; did you know it was between a brow bar and a pastry store? Good call picking the brow bar! Benefit are the number one cosmectics brand in the world at the moment and let me tell you I can see why! With their funky/retro packaging and bright colours it's a make up lovers heaven.

The night was going by quickly so we started our makeovers. I started off by using "Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow" foundation which is a light/medium coverage foundation with an SPF 25. It is easy to blend onto the skin and leaves a lovely dewy look to the skin. My only downfall on this product was that it didn't cover my rosacea on my cheeks. Do not fear the lovely Tara came to my aid with the Benefit "Play Stick" like a pan-stick that works as a concealar and foundation all-in-one. This covered the redness straight away without feeling like I was caked in make up! For a blusher I was blow away with their "lollitent" which is also mentioned in my May Favourites. Lollitint leaves a pinky lavender colour on your cheeks. I love it so much that I haven't stopped using it!
The lovely people in Benefit at Cara Pharmacy didn't leave us empty handed, we recieved a beauitful goodie bag and a make up voucher for me and a friend. I also own two prizes!! woo hoo go me!! One for guessing what Benefit's best sellers are and another for helping out with the makeovers! (I just couldn't resist!!)
The night sadly had to come to an end, but I would like to say a massive thank you to Tara, Sally and all the team at Cara Pharmacy. It was great to meet them and also catch up with my fellow blogger.
Until next time,
