Beauty & The Beat..

Monday the 23rd of May myself and the girls attended "Beauty And the Beat" Bláthnaid Murphy's Make-up Masterclass in conjunction with Beat 102-103 in the Clonmel Park Hotel.  It was a night based on two of my favourite things, as you'll all know I'm completely obsessed with all things Radio and Make-up and also it was the perfect opportunity to have a well over due girly night out.  Bláthnaid was crowned as Irelands Most Talented Make Up Artist by RSVP in 2015, and it is clear as to why she was the chosen one, her talent is endless. I could honestly sit and watch Blá do her thing all day, everyday, she makes applying make-look so easy and we all know the struggles that are involved with applying make-up, ohhh those false lashes and winged eyeliner disasters.

Bláthanid created two looks on the night, one day time look and also one night time look. She was extremely down to earth which made the night more intimate as she mingled with the audience the whole way through the demonstrations. She used both affordable and high end products for both her looks and informed us of products that she found dupes for just like NYX Pore Filler is a dupe for Benefits POREfessional and I was extremely impressed that Blá informed the crowd of the dupes as some products can be quite expensive and us women can be easy influenced into buying high end products when we see the likes of SoSueMe and Pippa O'Connor using them but if you're like me, unfortunately, you will not have a fraction of the money that they have, so finding dupes and affordable products is always great. I have attached a photo of 5 of Bláthnaids affordable products.

Most of the High end products that Bláthnaid used were from Inglot which are still extremely good value for money, as she used to work at an Inglot store so she is very familiar with all of the products that she was using, and also she was able to inform all of us the  pro's and cons to the products as she has worked with them for a long period of time. Personally, my Make-up bag is made up of mostly MAC and Benefit but after Monday night I will definitely be taking a trip to my nearest Inglot store to stock up on some of the amazing products that Bláthnaid used throughout both her demonstrations,which I have attached a picture of below.

Overall it was such a great girly night filled with 3 hours of fun, laughter, goodie bags and some amazing spot prizes on the night.   Unfortunately I'm not the luckiest person in the world but Chloe who attended the event with me and the rest of the girls managed to bag herself a years supply of Bellamianta Tan.  We all got a goodie bag filled with face charts, Wet 'n Wild products and Sam McCauley Vouchers so at least the rest of us didn't go home empty handed. I am so glad that I attended the event. I learned so many new tips and tricks and it was also a pleasure to meet the talented Bláthnaid Murphy, she is even more stunning in person and also she is such a lovely girl as when the event was over she took time out to stand in for photos and have a chat with everyone who attended. I have attached a picture of Myself, Aine, Chloe and the beautiful Bláthnaid.
