Bourjois Little Round Pot Blushers

I know what you're thinking, more blusher really?! Yes, really.

I was snooping around looking through blogs and I came across one (I cant remember which one it was) which mentioned that these blushers were on offer at £2 each on the boots website so I had to check them out. I thought it might be a limited offer which had run out or maybe she was lucky? But I checked it out and they were in fact £2 each so I had to place a order!

The first colour is called 'Golden Rose' which is a gorgeous rose going on hot pink colour with a strong gold shimmer running through it (like the name suggests?!). I love wearing this colour with a simple neutral eye and a soft pink lip.

The second colour and my favourite is called 'Healthy Mix'. This colour is a gorgeous more on the orange side coral which doesn't have any shimmer through it so it's great for when you want a simple make up look. This is the colour I have been wearing most with again a neutral eye and Revlon Lip Butters 'Juicy Papaya' on my lips for a hint of colour.

The final colour I got is called 'Jasper Rose' which is a rose colour again with gold shimmer running through it. Again I wear this with a simple eye and lip.

These are the first Bourjois blushers I have and I love them. The pigmentation of them are amazing. They are so soft and long lasting on the cheek. The smell of them are quite weird in my opinion and it has that grandma smell to it but it's nothing over powering. Alongside the price of them, there was a 3 for 2 offer which meant I payed £4 for three blushers which I think is amazeballs especially as they are retailed at £7.99 each. On the boots website, they are also running a offer where you buy three Bourjois products and you get a free pair of sunglasses! These not really the type of sunglasses I usually go for but i'll get some use out of them and they come with this cute holder to put them in!

I have looked on the boots website to see if they are still on offer but from what I can see they are no longer on offer anymore but it is defo worth keeping your eye out for a bargain!

What do you think of the Bourjois blushers?

MUA lipstick in Nectar

MUA lipstick in Nectar - £1

I love the MUA range. I have many of there products from blushes to nail polish to eye palettes and for the prices that there products are, it is one of my favourite brands. Don't get me wrong, some of there products are not so great but its a case of hit or miss with them and you cant complain when the majority of their products are £1. 

I am trying my hardest to try more lipsticks out and I have had my eye on this one for some time but my local superdrug never had it in stock. But, on the weekend they re-stocked the MUA counter up. YAY! So i snatched this straight away and I have fallen in love with it.

The colour of it is gorgeous. It is a coral colour but more on the orange side than pink and it is so so so creamy on the lips. My lips are fairly bad at the moment which means it doesn't look nice with flakey lips so photos up close are a bit naff. But the pigmentation of it is brilliant! And the bottom of the packaging includes a little tub of lipstick which i'm not sure i'd use but it makes it easier when picked out what colour to wear. 

The colour of it itself is bright which means it will look gorgeous with a summer glowing tan. When my lips are better, I am planning to wear it with a very simple eye make up look alongside a simple outfit in order for the colour to be the main focus. 

Because i'm not a lippy person, i'm still trying to find out what colour suits me but I feel that this sort of shade goes well with my blue eyes and brown hair and funnily enough my pale skin? Who would have thought it. I've heard that it gives a matte finish which i'm unsure about as my lips are dry as it is but I haven't had the right lips to see yet. 

Overall from what I've tried, I am in love with this lipstick and I can't wait to wear it more! 

Have you tired MUA's lipstick range or any of there products?

Apocalips Lip Lacquers

 Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers - Celestial £5.99

A couple of months ago, Boots had there 3 for 2 offer (which lasted like a life time) and I heard a lot about the new Apocalips by Rimmel so I bit the bullet and bought one. 

Now if you've read my previous posts, you know that I am not a lippy person so I was unsure on 1. wether to get one and 2. what colour to get. I liked the look of 'Big Bang' but I think reds done suit me so I picked a more neutral lip colour and went for Celestial even though I wish I had picked up Apocaliptic as its looks beautiful. I won't go into too much detail about what they are as everyone knows about them.

My first impressions of this was that I didn't like it. The first thing that put me off was the scent. I can't describe it, it just smells horrific and I'm the type of person that bases products on smells. 

The second thing that put me off was the doe-foot applicator. It has a big dent like feature in the applicator so when I put the right amount on and give it a final go over, the product hidden in the dent goes on my lips and put too much product on them. I also do not like that it doesn't set so after a while I forget it doesn't set and I get it all over my face. Not a good look. 

However, there are things I do like about it yay!

I love the packaging! I love the lid as well as the bottom of the packaging and the colour at the bottom of the packaging is true to colour unlike some lip products. I also like the colour of it. It is a very 'your lips but better' colour but I have a few lip products this colour so I wish I bought a bolder colour like apocaliptic. I also like that it is basically a liquid lipstick with the gloss that a lip gloss gives you.

Recently, I have dug it out a bit more to see if I've changed my mind about it and I'm liking it a bit more than what I did. I don't know why when all the things I like and don't like haven't changed. 

Overall, from what they were hyped up to be, I am a little disappointed with the Apocalips but I'm determine to use is a little bit more and try to love it like others do.

Have you tried out the Rimmel Apocalip Lip Lacquers and what do you think of them?

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - 51 Light Vanilla £10.99

I was in Tesco about a month ago now and I always drift off to the beauty aisle. I came across the Bourjois section and saw that the healthy mix serum was on offer from £10.99 to £8 and I wanted to try this foundation for ages but I already have 5 on the go so I never felt the need to get it until it was on offer. This is also my first ever product from  Bourjois funnily enough and I heard so many good things so I wanted to try it out.

The first thing I love is the smell of the foundation. If it was okay to eat it, I would it smells that good! It gives a light coverage which I love as its far too hot to wear a medium to full coverage foundation but it still gives a good coverage to cover redness and any imperfections on my face. I got the shade 51 light vanilla which I thought would be too light for me but it matches my skin perfectly. But when I get a bit more colour in the summer, I think it will be too light for me boohoo.

I also love that it is gel based which makes it easier to blend in and it gives my skin a dewy finish but not to the extent where it is too dewy so I don't have to powder after applying this. 

It claims to give a boost of radiance to your skin which I definitely agree with. With the help of my Moisture Match moisturiser from Garneir a review of it is here it does give a massive different to how my skin looks and feels. I use the Real Techniques expert face brush to blend it in which gives a flawless finish to the skin. 

Overall I am in love with this product and I cannot fault it at all and I cannot wait to purchase more Bourjois products.

Have you tried this foundation or any of the other Bourjois products and what do you think of them?

Wish list #1

Hey guys!

There are a few products which have caught my eye recently which I've been wanting. I've been trying not to spend money of make up that I really don't need which I've created a wish list for. Now whenever I read posts like this, they usually contain expensive luxury items. But considering I don't have a lot of money, all the products that's on my wish list are drugstore items.

Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer. £4.99
I've had my eye on this product for a while but I have the lasting perfection concealer which I love so I thought to myself, I don't need another concealer. But, I am running low on my concealer and therefore thinking of what concealer to get next. I like the idea of this concealer as it is brightening which will help with the summer as nights get later and my dark circles will get darker. I will be buying the lasting perfecting concealer again and use the brightening concealer under my eyes. This concealer is £4.99 but in my local Wilkinsons, there's an offer so its now £2.49! Bargain.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. £3.99
I currently have 2 powders on the go which are collections loose powder and Rimmel match Perfection loose powder so I don't feel the need to rush out and get this. I like both loose and pressed powder but for the summer I prefer a pressed powder as its a lot smaller to fit in my bag when needing to re apply during the day.

Bourjois Bronzing Powder Delice De Pondre. £6.99
Now if you read my 'Beauty things I suck at' post, you would know that I cannot contour for the life of me. I feel that there is no shape in my face so I find it hard to contour. But, it's one of those things that I want to conquer and be able to say, ' I can do it'. I use a bronzing powder from a blusher palette but I've heard so many good things about this bronzer and I feel that if I invest in a good powder and brush, I will hopefully be able to contour.

Maybelline Baby Lips.
Baby Lips are not available in the UK yet and there was speculation that they will be coming to the UK soon. I looked on Boots website today and they stated that they were soon to be in stock. When I first read about these I was drawn in immediately. If you read my posts, you know I do not work well with lip products so when I saw that these were a lip balm with colour, I wanted to get them. I've heard many good things about these products and I can't wait to try them out when they arrive in the UK.

Real Techniques Brushes - Core Collection. £21.99
I have the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and I love it dearly and ever since I bought this brush, I wanted to try the other brushes mostly for the contour brush which I heard works well with the Bourjois Bronzing Powder. I want to collect all the Real Technique brushes but I feel that at the moment, I would use the face brushes for than the Eye starter kit. I also really want the powder and blush brushes so I'm saving my boots points to purchase these!

What products are on your wishlist?

Beauty things I suck at.

Hey guys.

Now, I am so sorry for the lack of posts recently. I've finally finished my first year at college so I decided to have a chilled few days and catch up with all the TV I missed. But, i'm getting back into the swing of things and starting off, I've decided to do a tag!

1. Applying eyelashes.
I cannot apply eyelashes for the life of me. I have quite small eyes so cutting them down to size is tricky and applying them close to my lash line is extremely hard for me. And because I have quite small eyes, they look quite stupid on me. But I think if I look into eyelashes and different brands and stuff, I hope to find a pair that suit me without looking to big for my face.

2. Eyeliner.
Now, again because my eyes are small, think liner on my lash line looks terrible. I used to wear eyeliner a lot but I think it looks to harsh as well. Now if I do want a bit more definition on my eyes, I use a eyeshadow and apply it to the upper waterline and apply it on my lashes to give it extra definition that seems to work. I used to use gel eyeliner which is why it could look a bit too silly for my face but I want to invest in a liquid eyeliner as it gives you more precision.

3. Applying lipstick.
Now as I've said in many previous posts, I have horrible lips as they are sore, dry and cracked which means I don't really wear lipstick. But, I have dove into the deep end and started to buy more to encourage me to wear it more. When I do apply it, I takes me about 5 minutes to do as I don't think it suits me very good which means I such at applying it. But, I am playing around with it a lot more.

4. Contouring.
Now, I really suck at this! I love the concept of contouring that it makes your face appear slimmer which what my face needs. I still have quite full cheeks which makes contouring hard to do as there is no structure from what I know on my cheeks so when I do contour, it looks as if I've put a dark brown blusher, half way down my face. No matter how hard I try and how many different videos I watch, I just does not work.

There are many more things that I suck at as I am not a make up artist but these, are the things that drive me insane as I just can't do them.

What beauty things do you suck at?

MUA Power Pouts

Hey Guys!

Now, I'm not a lip person as I have really dry lips which are flakey all the time and no matter what I do to my lips, they just don't get any better!
But when I saw that MUA were bringing tinted lip balms which are ''dupes'' for the clinique chubby sticks and revlon just bitten kissable balm stains, I was on that!

Broken Hearted, Irreplaceable and Justify - £3

I first bought irreplaceable which is a pink colour on the lips and I was indecisive on whether to buy it as I didn't want it to be another lip product to add to my collection which I didn't like but I dove in and bought and I'm glad I did! The application is really easy and it gives a tingling sensation on the lips and it has a hint of mint. The pigmentation of it isn't brilliant but I was expecting that as it's a tinted lip balm. I find it moisturizes my lips however I always wear a lip balm underneath. I was that pleased that I took advantage of superdrugs 3 for 2 offer about a month ago and bought broken hearted which is a deep pink colour and justify which is a  pinky coral colour. 

 Broken Hearted

 Justify (excuse the flakiness of my lips)

Irreplaceable

These usually last about 1-2 hours depending on how bad my lips are of which I don't mind because I like the tingling on the lips feeling.

These tinted balms are perfect for people who are not lipstick people (like me) and it moisturizes my lips and gives it a nice gloss of colour at the same time. The link for these are here.

Have you tried these? What did you think about these and what colour is your favourite?

Bonkers for blush!

Hey guys
Sorry for the lack of posts, I'm in my last two weeks of college so I've got lots of coursework keeping me company. Anyway, I have recently been doing a bit of shopping and thought I would show you.

Now whenever I'm in Boots or Superdrug, I always pick up different bits of make up like blushers, foundations, lipsticks, mascara etc so I don't have a specific favourite. Anyway at the beginning of the month I took advantage of Superdrugs 3 for 2 offer. I didn't go too wild, I just bought two blushers from MUA and a nail varnish (I'll do a separate post).

I am finding that when I buy 1 blusher, I always buy more which happened in this case.

As you can see, I went OTT with blushers.

The first blushers I got were from MUA and these are their new range of blushers so I picked up Lolly which is a peach colour and marshmallow which is, a marshmallow colour? I can't really do a full review of them as I haven't really tried them out yet but so safe, so good!

The bigger palette I wasn't intending to get. I have a wedding soon so I want to use a foundation which has good coverage and lasts all day (im undecided which one to choose) I wanted a white pressed powder as some of the foundations I have are too dark for me even though they are the lightest colour in the range? Anyway, I was browsing ebay for one and I came across this palette which was £7.99 which has the white powder which I wanted as well as some other pressed powder colours which will work well as I can use them as a contour colour as I have trouble finding a light colour to contour. And, there all matte! Alongside this, the palette also comes with 21 blusher colours which some of them are matte and some are shimmer and they are so pigmented! Again, I'm trying the blushers out before I give a full review. The link for the ebay palette is here and the link for the MUA blushers are here. 

I now do not need any blushers for a while.. Lets see how long this will last.

Have you tried the new MUA blushers or any big palettes like this?
