Evening all!
Tonight L and I have been at an event with the lovely Benebabes from Boots Cardiff to celebrate Brow Arch March. Brow Arch March is a collaboration between Benefit and Debenhams to raise money and awareness for the amazing charity look good feel better.
Look good feel better helps teens and women suffering with cancer deal with the visible side effects it causes by providing workshops and advice. I absolutely love the charity and what they due makes a huge difference. My mum's cousin is currently undergoing chemo and has benefited from advice on how to tie scarves and really found it useful to have people around to help with such tasks.
Brow arch march is now going to be an annual event. The benebabes described it as our version of Movember! I love that. For the whole of march you can go to a benefit brow bar and get your brows waxed for free. They suggest a £5 donation for every wax. The full donation (whatever you choose) goes completely to charity! All us bloggers paid to get in tonight to help raise money. I know L and I will be popping along for a wax or two as well!
Whilst we were there we were also introduced to some of the latest releases to try out. L and I were both excited to try out Gimme Brow! We'd wanted to try it for ages and Benefit really our amazing at brows! It's fair to say it didn't disappoint and L and I will be running to the counter come pay day! It has the perfect size little brush, fills brows and helps create the perfect polished look easily. Whilst doing all of that it's also weather proof so you won't find your brows have slipped half way down your face in summer (if it comes!!).
As soon as we got there my eyes went straight to the Big Easy. After seeing this on Lisa Potter-Dixon's instagram a few weeks back I couldn't wait to test it out. Described as better than a BB cream and as I'm a BB cream fan especially as I've been wearing less make up during the day at the moment I needed to try it! It provides a flawless skin appearance, corrects redness, cream to powder finish (no dewy finish which I love), provides moisture and has an impressive SPF 35!! I will be grabbing this for my holiday. Who needs sun cream when I can have BB cream and look good on the beach.
Benefit have teamed up with Marvel and have a Spy Girl comic now!! How amazing the geeks in L and I were VERY excited!! It even features the black widow!
Also available to try was lolli tint. Lolli tint is right up my street. I'm a pinks girl when it comes to make up, especially cool tones. Where I'm so pale I find they suit me. I loved the colour it was on my lips. It does come out different on everyone's lips. It produces a gorgeous soft pink on the cheeks!
Not the best photo but hello amazing brows and lolli tint lips!
I think it's far to say our love of Benefit products grows again! L and I are such addicts!! The wish list now contains agent zero shine, stay don't stray, gimme brow and lolli tint!
What's on your wishlist? Are you going to visit a brow bar for brow arch march? You save yourself £6.50 on the normal price, get an amazing Benefit brow wax (they conceal and reapply your brows for you!) and get to feel good about donating to a great charity!
Thanks lovely benebabes and benedude! Was great to see you all again!
Love M
