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?

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?
