Last night I was at one of the most fun events, the craic was had.
I attended the Marc Jacobs Diet Coke launch for 'Sparkling Together for 30 Years' in BT2 on Grafton Street, Dublin.
I'm sure you have all seen the add with the undeniably sexy gardner(video at the end of the post if you haven't). Well he of course was in attendence so we all (eventually) worked up the courage to get our photo's taken with him oh and of course he is even better looking in person (swoon).
Every so often four models would appear from what seemed like nowhere show casing the summer collection which is now available in BT2(I was having an ole goo). To be honest they kind of freaked me out, standing there like manquins while copious amounts of people took their photo.. but they looked well and I have to say I do really like the look of the collection. Socks and sandles seems to be in again(was it ever?) just so long as their heel's!
There was a photo booth there and we all had great fun with it, I think they guy got a little fed up with our antics but we all had a great time!
Before we knew it 8 had rolled around, we were getting our coats and lovely goodie bags before heading into the night for an evening of giggles and conversation(and just a little more alcohol).
All in all I had a fantastic time. It was great seeing my lovely blogger friends and having a fab night out! I love the design Marc has come up with and am excited to see the cans all over the place. I for one will never be opening the bottles and will keep them on display for ever!
All the best,
Alice May xx
ps my camera lens decided to break after I took 2 photo's(picture's of the drinks) so the rest of the night bar Donna's(NotJustInside) photo at the top are all iphone. I used a different lens this morning to take the rest of the photo's. Sorry about that folks!
Hey guys so I had the awesome pleasure of attending the Benefit Blogger Christmas Party(I know, the Christmas season starts earlier and earlier each year!) last night in Dublin and you guyyys it was so much fun! Of course a lot of my lovely blogger friends were there but some I had never met before were there too and I think you may have gathered how much I love to meet new people! Okay okay sorry I'll get onto the fun stuff! Mark, benefits makeup artist for Ireland(who is amazing by the way!) showed us all of the Christmas sets as well as sneaky little something but as of right now I'm not sure If I'm allowed to talk about it so shh! The sets this year are of course amazing, I always love having a gander at the sets each Christmas and this year was no different! They all have really cute packaging(when does benefit ever not?!) with a lot of them in mini suitcases that will come in handy for storage(and we all know how much I love a bit of storage!).

I think my favourite would have to be the 'Sexy Little Stowaways' it has a hoola bronzer, need I say more? I am obsessed to the extreme with it. It will feature strongly in my 'my makeup story' when I finally make the video that is! The set also includes:
it’s potent! eye cream brightening eye cream to fade dark circles
the POREfessional PRO balm to minimise the appearance of pores
BADgal lash mascara
stay don’t stray stay-put primer for concealers & eyeshadows
ooh la lift instant under-eye brightening boost
chachatint mango-tinted lip & cheek stain
sun beam golden bronze complexion highlighter
bella bamba a 3D brightening pink face powder

I had the chance to really play with the it’s potent! eye cream brightening eye cream today and I have to say I'm a convert! Then of course who doesn't luke the bad gal mascara? Okay, I can't hide it I love everything about the set, it's totes amazeballs! This retails at £25 which is about €30(we were told the prices in euro but goldfish memory here can't remember exactly!)
All the Christmas sets are available in store now so get yours quick!
I would talk all day about all of the stuff in the Christmas sets but this post is all ready longer then I anticipated..!
We received something awesome but I want to play with it a little and then I'll post a full review so for now I'll leave you with some photo's of the evening so you can feel apart of the extravaganza!
