Huda Beauty Masterclass - Nov 2016

On the 5th of November, I attended the Huda Beauty Masterclass in Abu Dhabi! Crazy, right? I was super excited to meet Huda & Mona and I ended up meeting Chris too omg!

The event took place at the amazing Rosewood Hotel in Abu Dhabi and had the most magical view of the city. I'm in loooove.

I met the lovely Amira Ebrahim, who hosted the masterclass with Mona Kattan! She's so beautiful!

And at the end of the class, we were given our GOODY BAGS I WAS SO EXCITED WOW WOW WOW. As soon as I got to my hotel, I unpacked everything and swatched some products on my hand & I snapchatted the whole thing. I must say I was disappointed to find out that a lot of products were not included in the goody bag that Huda mentioned in her video! Cries.

 

At the end of this post is a little video of my trip & the masterclass!

Benefit Cosmetics Masterclass Durban & Goodie Bag!

Oh hey there! It's been a while since I last posted, but I'm excited for you to read this one! Also, next week I leave for a very exciting event in Abu Dhabi so follow my adventures on my Instagram!

On Saturday,  I attended the Benefit Brow Masterclass hosted by Lauren Engelbrecht, the national brow artist of Benefit South Africa! It was such a fun experience learning different brow techniques using the amazing, new products from their brow collection. Gotta say that my favourite product has to be the 3D Browtones. I love how it goes on so smoothly, and I generally use it after I apply a pomade, or the ka-Brow cream-gel in number 5. This is what the product looks like:

I will definitely be purchasing more from their brow collection soon! Here are some photos of the Masterclass held at the Gateway Hotel this past weekend:

Also, can we talk about how pretty the new They're Real! Double the Lip lipsticks are! I swatched them instore and I love that it includes 2 colours in the shape of a teardrop! You can buy 4 of these lippies in the BIG Sexy Lipkit set! Below are some swatches from their website:

When I took my seat at the table, I noticed the cutest little Benefit Goodie Bag. I thought I'd show you guys what was inside!

Firstly, HOW amazing is this bag? I love it! Inside, I got a few sample sized beauty/ skincare products, a Benefit shower cap, another bag and a Sunglass Hut voucher! Take a look:

I received samples of the 2 incredible mascaras. The Roller Lash Mascara is one of my all time FAVES. It curls my lashes so nicely and gives my lashes a whole lot of volume! The wand is just amazing on this product. I love it so much!

The They're Real! Mascara isn't as good as the Roller Lash in my opinion. It doesn't hold the curl well and it sometimes make my under-eyes go black throughout the day. But i do know a lot of people who love this product! Everyone is different I guess!

The POREfessional License to Blot primer! I haven't used this before and I cannot wait to try it out because I already use the POREfessional primer, so I know this will be amazing!

The Instant Comeback facial serum looks super cute in this packaging! This product is anti-ageing, and when you apply it, it's super hydrating and makes your skin feel firmer & a lot more smoother! I will definitely be purchasing the full-sized product!

Keep an eye out for more reviews from Benefit Cosmetics! I am loving their brow collection at the moment, can't wait to review the products that I purchase from them in the future! I hope they do more Masterclasses like this because I love learning new techniques and who wouldn't want another goodie bag, right!?

xoxo

HAYA COLLECTIVE: SLEEPWEAR RANGE

Hey loves! Super excited to be finally posting this! This shoot was so much fun! We shot with the lovely Haya Collective team for their new Sleepwear Collection! I am obsessed with their cute lil pyjamas, plus I'm so excited because they come with matching eye masks YAY. Here's some photos featuring Haya Collective's Sleepwear LAUNCHING SOON on HayaCollective.com:

The Sleepwear Sets from Haya Collective are to die for! They are incredibly soft and comfy! Perfect for a lazy day in bed, reading your favourite book! When I slipped into the PJ's, all i needed was a cup of tea and my favourite blanket. The eye masks are a bonus - perfect for a restful night's sleep!

The full length pants & matching button-down shirt makes it the perfect gift for someone special! It's my mother's birthday soon so you know what I'll be getting her! The Striped Sleepwear Set is my favourite. If you know me, you know how much I love almost anything with stripes.
