Benefit Cosmetics #AbracadaBROW Blogger Event






Yesterday I was insanely lucky enough to be invited to the Benefit #AbracadaBROW blogger's event at John Lewis in Sheffield. Two hours dedicated solely to brows? Yes please!

My eyebrows have always been something I've pretty much ignored during my beauty routine, so it was absolutely amazing to be taught how to define them properly into signature Benefit WOW Brows.




As soon as I walked through the door I was led to a table full of pain au chocolat and handed a champagne flute of Buck's Fizz - and it was only just 9am *wink*

Our lovely hosts were the beautiful Hannah and Sophia who were so funny and bubbly and made us all feel really welcome the entire time we were there.

They gave us really detailed descriptions of each product and the brow dilemma they were suitable for, then Hannah demonstrated on Sophia how to achieve a natural brow look, then a fabulous 'Instagram brow.'






I learnt so many tips for how to make the most of my little blonde eyebrows - I certainly never knew that brow mascaras such as Gimme Brow were supposed to be used against the hair growth, then back again to add gorgeous volume and fullness to sparse brows, something I will definitely take care to remember.

The new products were passed round for us to have a look at (I ended up cover in swatches, natch) then it was our turn to have a little play with the brand-new brow beauties.

I then was the first (yay!) to have a total brow-makeover by Sophia, and oh my gawwwwwdddd they looked so awesome! I wish I had taken some before and after photos just to show how sassy they looked after their transformation.

There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything whatsoever, and it was lovely to see some fellow bloggers such as Becky (Prime + Dine) again.

However obviously, I couldn't resist treating myself to some goodies! The collection consists of a now ten fabulous products, listed below with the descriptions from Benefit's own website.

Gimme Brow In Shade 1

The products I purchased for myself were Gimme Brow in shade 1, and the fabulous new Ka-Brow, also in shade 1, for £18.50 each. 


I was absolutely crazy-impressed with the range of shades available. I was colour matched to be the lightest shade and I loved how the products were all truly blonde, not just a light brown or auburn, like I have found with other products.

I would like to say a huuuuuugggeeee thank you to Hannah and Sophia for a wonderful morning of brow beauty and champage! Cheers, Girls!


I can't wait to try and review these products all properly!
