Benefit San Francisco Weekend FUN!

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to spend the weekend with Benefit Cosmetics and other sweet beauty vloggers!  It was an amazing and memorable experience!  I've never been given an opportunity like this and I am forever grateful for Benefit Cosmetics for the invite!  



Friday all the girls visited the Benefit headquarters!  

We got to test out the new Benefit Cosmetic products launching soon!  

I love how they designed their headquarters! I wish I had a makeup room just like it! 





We all flipped when we received a pink train case filled with new Benefit makeup!!! 
There were YAY and screaming if I recall correctly, LOL! 

Cupcakes with Benefit on them!  Bite size deliciousness, I had to eat 3 or more, lol! 



A pink limo to take us to dinner, unreal! I think the last time I rode a limo was when my mom married my stepdad when I was six years old!  LOL! 

Of course we all took Instagram (@AprilAthena7) shots of the limo, lol! 

Dinner with Carah and all the Benefit girls! :D  Carah is such a sweet friend!  I'm so happy I got to see her for the weekend! I absolutely love her and feel like it's such a great blessing when I see her!  It's as if she's been my friend forever!  If she and I lived close I know we would be great neighbors and friends! I love positive friends and she's always smiling and makes me want to smile too! :D 



Delicious dinner! 

With my handsome husband! :D 


After dinner we saw a screening of the Benefit movie Glamouriety!  
It was hilarious!  If you watch the movie you're going to want to get your hands on Benefit's Dr.Feel Good , LOL! :p 

Who here is a Heart fan?  I loove Heart!  
She's the sweetest and the more I see her the sweeter she gets!  
I don't know about you, but I never knew what a macaron was until I saw her Instagram pics, lol!  
She's such a kind and positive person, the type of girls I love to hang out with! :D 

Leina and Carla!  I have been wanting to meet Leina for a long time!  She is extremely talented in makeup and drop dead gorgeous!  I have been watching her FOREVER! :D  Carla in the pretty yellow planned the Benefit event and she's AMAZING!!! Thank you Carla for a memorable weekend! 

I looove Dulce!  I think you guys all know that!  She epitomizes a modern day super woman!  She does it all and she looks fabulous ALWAYS!  I just love love love her!  She's so positive and her husband Jesse has an amazing personality as well!  :D  Love them!  

My friend Missy is seriously one of the most beautiful girl I have EVER met!  I tell her all the time she's so pretty, lol!  Not only is she so darn beautiful but she's so sweet and funny!  Have you seen our outfit of the day collab? We filmed it at the Benefit headquarters here! 

Speaking of FUNNY, there was a hilarious comedian before the Glamouriety screening!  I laughed out LOUD so many times!  Loove her!  


Ford Danielson sisters are AMAZING! 

My gorgeous super model looking friend Rachel!  I am so happy we met last summer at IMATS!  She is so incredibly nice! :D   

Group shot! :D 

Benefit took us on a bus tour and we got to see the FULL HOUSE!  
Who here was an uncle Jesse fan?  Seriously I still memorize the FOREVER song he sang to Rebecca on their wedding day!  Makes me cry every time! 

Here's the song I was talking about, OMG!  I was soo cheesey that this song was included in my very own wedding! LOL!!! 

With my handsome love Justin! :D So happy he came with me! :D 
My weekend isn't complete without my best friend, my husband, the love of my life Justin! :D 


Oh gosh we were in makeup heaven at the Benefit Boutique in San Francisco!  Carah and I were really eyeing the lipsticks! :D  We wanted EVERYTHING at the store, absolutely EVERYTHING!  LOL! 



I loved Heart's vest! 


Athena waxing my brows! :D 

Athena has been working with Benefit for over 20 years!  
She's a Benebabe for sure, look how hot she is! 


Maggie Ford Danielson helped fill out my brows! :D 
I soo need Benefit high brow in my life since she introduced me to it!  It highlights my brows without any shine or shimmer!  Loove it! 



Carah and I standing inside the Benefit Boutique window, lol!

Thank you BENEFIT COSMETICS for the best weekend ever!  I had an amazing time and I am forever grateful for this opportunity!!!  Thank you so much to my YouTube friends/viewers if it weren't for you I would never have this opportunity and I thank you soo very much! 

Love,
April
