Benefit Fine One One Leeds Launch
bbloggers | benefit | bloggers | cakes | debenhams | event | eyebrows | fine one one | fine11 | fineoneone | launch | leeds | mapping | new | they're real

This Saturday saw the launch of Benefit's newest product, Fine One One.

Fine One One is a sheer trio, created to revive dull cheeks and lips in seconds.

The twist up stick has three shades, pink champagne, sheer watermelon and soft coral. They can be used in several different ways to create many different looks. For example,

- Sweep up the cheeks and blend for a natural glow.

- Twist on the apple of your cheek and then zig zag up your cheek bone and blend for a more daring, structured look.

- Glide over your lips to give them a pop of sheer colour, and don't forget to use the pink champagne on your cupids bow to create the perfect pout.

The thing to remember, is to not be scared of how bright this product looks. I promise you, it isn't as scary on the skin.

The look I am wearing in the above photo was created using both Fine One One, using the twist and zigzag motion, and the Go TropiCoral kit. (Photo taken after getting stuck in the rain.)
I'd love to see how it works on my natural skin tone.

I adore this new product, and it's now sitting happily at the top of my wishlist.

Throughout the evening we were treated to a view at some of the other wonderful Benefit products, including the amazing They're Real Mascara. Yep, it's love right there. I need that mascara in my life. In the before and after photo above, believe it or not, the mascara was applied on top of what I was already wearing, and it still had an amazing effect on my lashes.

Some of us also had our eyebrows mapped, which for me was a totally new experience. Looking at the photos, it's such a difference that I think I need to warm to it, but I do like the look of the more structured brow.

As well as being surrounded by beautiful products, it was also a great opportunity to meet some new ladies and enjoy the wonderful cupcakes and sweets that had been laid out for us.
Sorry to any of the girlies I didn't get a chance to chat to, if you're reading this post, please leave your link in the comments, and thanks to Kirsty who arranged the whole thing. I enjoyed it so much.

Mission Blondey
2012 | beauty | bleach | blog | blondey | dye | hair | highlights | mission | new | resolutions | whenflowersfall | years

Hey guys!

Yesterday, I broke one of my New years resolutions. I know I'm yet to share them with you, I promise that post is coming soon, but I can tell you that one of them was to try and go a year without dying my hair. I did originally want to see if I could grow out the years of dye to go back to my natural colour, but seriously. Who was I kidding?! Me? No hair dye. That was never going to happen.

For days I have been trawling through image after image of girls with beautiful hair, I've spent hours being absolutely jealous of every one of them and I couldn't help myself but to reach for the bleach. (haha)

So here it is, my new doo!

I decided to stick with highlights, rather than an over all colour, and I've also decided to stick with this for as long as I can. I know it's bleach, but I figure this is more healthy for my hair, rather than whole head dyes.
I always tend to go lighter for the Summer, so I've kind of just done it a bit earlier this year. It's strange, but I feel I'm liking the length a lot more with this colouring. (Although, I'd still love to get my mitts on some hair extensions.)
So how'd you like it? Hugemungoooose thank you to Sarah for sitting and doing it for me!
