My name is Jo I am in my 20s and officially a makeup beauty Addict. I have always loved playing with makeup. However It was at the beginning of this year that I finally discovered my passion. I first got into makeup in a big way when I searched for something on Youtube. I typed in the search and found all these girls talking about and experimenting with makeup. From that day on I was hooked. I have made a couple of really good friends on youtube who encouraged me to start blogging. So as I am unable to make videos myself here I am. It's early days but I have some interesting things to come. If you have anything to say about any of my posts please feel free to leave a comment. Thanks Jo x

Benefit Update: EXCITING!!!

I haven't Posted here for a while. Sorry about that. I have some new things i need to post about at some point soon Plus some LOTD's I am planning, but 1st I thought it was time I updated you on a recent Post I did regarding Benefit Cosmetics.

Most of you will have seen my post on the disappointing experience I had at a Benefit counter recently, for those of you that haven't and don't have a clue what I am on about click on this link http://joaellis-makeupmayhem.blogspot.com/2010/02/benefit-rant and all will be revealed.

I had loads of comments on that post telling me I should complain to Benefit, I was in two minds for a while because really do not like making a fuss, however after chatting to numerous friends I finally decided to email Benefit.

The lady I needed to talk to was away on Annual Leave when I emailed so I had to wait for her to get back to work before I knew what they were going to do about the situation.

Yesterday and today I have been emailing back and forth with this Lovely Lady called Jane. She has been very helpful and arranged for me and my Mum (who was with me at the time of the bad experience) to have a 'Makeup Experience to Remember.'

This involves going to my local Benefit BOUTIQUE and having a Free Makeup Lesson with the Manager and Assistant Manager. (I assume one will be looking after me and one looking after Mum.)

Jane also said this would include samples and I could have a look at some of the products I was interested in. I will be taking some money with me so I can buy a few things while I am there.

I did ask If I would be able to take a camera with me to photograph the whole experience so I could show all of you what happened on the day..Unfortunately I am not allowed to do this.

Despite this I will be photographing the things I get and the finished Makeup look when I get home, and giving you all an in depth post on the experience.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! This is the 1st time I will be experiencing anything like this. It sounds so fun.

I will be sure to fill you all in on all the tips and tricks I learn while I am there. I have already thought of a number of things I would like to learn.

Well I think thats all for this post. Comment below if you think of anything that I should ask when I go to Benefit.
