Benefit fall school...





The Benefit fall school was absolutely delightful!

The trainer was amazing! Not only was she hilarious, she provided lots of info on new launches, tips & tricks, mixologies, and did demos of top selling products that are handbag essentials!

And...OF COURSE some of them were included in the goody bags!

1. Girl Meets Pearl
Liquid Highlighter
Golden pink colour
Smells delectable with a hint of Raspberry and Chamomille

Mix it in with your favourite liquid foundation
Great for every skin tone
Retails for $34 CDN

2.Benetint
Lip & Cheek Stain
Rosey Red Colour
Gives you a subtle flush of colour on your cheeks
Waterproof & Kiss♥-proof ;)
Instead of applying the product directly onto the face, apply the product on top of brush before face application

Wear it under your favourite red lipstick ;)

3.They're Real!
Mascara

Eye Primer
Beige colour
