Event: #MerryBeneChristmas - Benefit Christmas Party

Benefit’s Beautiful Blogger Christmas Party

This post is a tad late off of the mark, but earlier this month I headed along to the Mary Jane’s Bar in Aldgate for an amazing Blogger Christmas party held by Benefit Cosmetics – obviously not as good as #bbloggerxmas though!

We were shown all of the new Christmas kits that Benefit had just launched and plied with some very lovely cocktails and Christmassy canapés.

Grace from All That Slap, Ayshe from Discovering Beauty, and Ronke from Ondo Lady all posing for a picture.

The Benefit makeup artist also demonstrated a quick Christmas look using the products in the She’s So Jetset set.

There was also a little Christmas quiz and I was lucky enough to win a prize, which was the High Flying Glosses Set. And on top of a very generous goody bag we were all given one of the Christmas sets, so I also got to take home Fast Train To Fabulous.

All of the Christmas sets are currently on sale so head over to the Benefit website and take advantage of the amazing discounts – I’m eyeing up a perfume set myself!

What do you think of the Christmas Sets? Were you lucky enough to get one for Christmas?

On a brighter note, my next giveaway will be happening at 200 followers and this one is much bigger and much better!

I'm thinking MAC or Benefit, but obviously everyone has different tastes so let me know what kind of items you'd like to see.

Ciao for now. [Remind me never to say that again, thanks.]

Beauty Box Swaps - Easter Bunny Swap

Beauty Box Swaps is a small beauty community over on Facebook where girls of all ages can swap their beauty items. Every ‘holiday’ a big swap is arranged between members, and unfortunately I missed out on the big Valentine’s Day swap due joining just a few days after Vals Day.

I was gladly around for the Easter swap however and arranged two swaps, one of which was with Jade over at Jetley Mess. The admin set the swap budget at £5, but Jade and I both agreed to up it to £10.

The postman knocked with my parcel uber early and I didn’t hear it, so I had to pick it up on my way to work – which meant that I had to wait until my break to open it! :(

But when I did open it, it was amazing and Jade’s swaps were really thoughtful.

Packaged up in a revamped Glossy Box was:

♥ An Easter card

♥ Marc Jacobs Lola body lotion

♥ Pink heart socks

♥ Rimmel Stir It Up Eyeshadow in Sure

♥ Body Shop Chocomania Body Butter Sample

♥ A Bunny iPhone case

♥ Very Berry face mask

♥ Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion sample

♥ Vaseline Crème Brûlée

♥ Agent Provocateur L’Agent perfume sample

♥ A bunny lollipop

♥ Smarties chocolate chick

♥ Mint Aero Lamb

♥ Mini chocolate eggs

♥ Cadbury Crème Egg

Unfortunately some of the chocolate didn’t make it into the pictures…

I loved everything inside my box; it felt like Christmas opening it!

I was especially pleased with the Crème Brûlée Vaseline, I don’t really use Vaseline on my lips but I really wanted to try it out. It smells soooo good! It already has a massive dent in it because I can’t stop using it.

The Rimmel eyeshadow looks almost edible. It reminds me of Galaxy Cookie Crumble. It looks powdery but it’s actually a cream and smooths into a deep purple, almost black, with a pink, shimmery undertone.

The Marc Jacobs body lotion was a lovely touch – since my name is Lola – and it smells gorgeous too!

As well as lip balms, I love perfume so I'm really happy with the Agent Provocateur sample. :)

I can’t wait to have a night in and a mini pamper session with my facemask and Benefit moisturiser.

I’m currently rotting my teeth with the bunny lolly :)

Did anyone else take part in the Easter swap??
