I was lucky enough to attend a recent pop-up in Glasgow hosted by Fenty Beauty. The range of make-up on display was phenomenal, and with the weather on our side, it was a pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning. The event went on from 10:00 am until 8:00pm. Fortunately I was able  to preview prior to admission, so it was a luxury to peruse the products with the professional make-up artists willing to give a helping hand.

The pop-up was held at SWG3 – a unique event space, and with the DJ creating a clubby atmosphere, the morning passed by quickly. Being gifted with a generous swag bag containing the latest Moroccan Spice eyeshadow palette which retails for £42, I was ready to experiment. Included in my haul were two beautiful make-up brushes, an eyeliner and primer.

The palette contains a mixture of matte and glitter shadows, some vibrant, some more subtle. Usually, several shadows in my palettes remain unused, but the professionals at Fenty showed me several ways to incorporate more adventurous shades in a wearable way.

The event was well-attended, crowds gathered prior to admission and there was an excited buzz. Sometimes expectations of celebrity-endorsed products can be low, but with Fenty this is not the case. Having been glammed-up by the delightful staff, it seemed a waste not to hit the town for a long al fresco lunch!

Even if you don’t manage to catch the pop-up on its tour of the UK, you can pick up the entire Moroccan Spice collection here.
