Bourjois me beautiful



Bourjois is always a brand I have preferred in comparison to other high street make up. Owned by the famous Chanel it is a fantastic value for money brand which has a luxurious feel to it. I have always stood by the trusted Volume Clubbing mascara and after last month deciding to try the Bourjois Volume Glamour ULTRA curl which didn't prove to work well with my lashes, I decided to stick with the mascara I have always loved. Seen as Boots had an offer for 3 for two on all cosmetics, I thought I may as well try some other products I had been curious about...





Volume Clubbing Mascara - Ultra Black

If you haven't already been able to tell I am OBSESSED with this product, it lasts all day, doesn't streak and you can build it up or use one coat for natural looking flutter happy lashes...I say natural I do have dark features and skin tone so I'm not sure if this would look so natural for other skin tones. The brush is rather thick but does define the lashes, really maximising the length and volume. For best results I recommend putting vaseline on your lashes before bed and then coming through with a eyelash and eyebrow make-up tool. Start from the inner lashes working towards to outer lashes and apply one coat at a time allowing to dry before adding additional coats for maximum results.

next up:

Delice de poudre - gold bronzing powder (sprinkled with rich clusters of sunshine 54)

After (as per) smashing my current bronzer - come on girls we've all been there...I decided to invest in a more shimmer/sparkle bronzer for a healthy glow! What I love about this product is that it is so subtle. I'm used to putting the tiniest bit of bronzer on and looking like someone's just smeared mud in my face. It's really easy to build this product up and it goes on effortlessly...that said it is a little more time consuming but in all fairness I probably should start getting up earlier to do my make-up ha! Packaging wise I think there is a lot going on visual wise although I do think it's really compact and I love the relation to choloclate, every girl needs a pick me up like this in their day.


 
Finally last but not least:

Happy LIGHT Matte serum primer

I'm still undecided on this product, I love how soft and hydrating this product is on my skin but I'm not sure it works well with the current Estee Lauder foundation I wear...I think this would work well with a lighter foundation or even a BB cream. It smells amazing and glides onto the skin a treat I think this is one to keep an update on!

The result... (Lip shade rimmel, Kate moss shade 5) 

So there are all my latest splurges, 

What Bourjois products tickle your fancy?

The little things...

Hiii,
I was in the house alone this morning and thought we were being burgled only to realise it was actually the post man...typical paranoid little me haha!
Any of you who read my blog regularly will know that I managed to break my card reader the other day :( (I say mine it's actually unis oooopsie :| ) 
I revieved my new card reader today which I purchased from ebay for £2.50...lets just say I'm glad I didn't pay any more for it seen as it is a bit flimsy...but hey it does work, you just have to be super gentle with the poor mite! 
Now that I have my own card reader I can FINALLY start uploading some decent pictures!
 I've been in need of some powder to set my foundation for a while, I was going to try out No.7 creme powder but unfortunately they didn't have my shade so I decided to go for the Stay Matte Pressed powder by Rimmel London in shade
006 Warm beige. I have used this product before and for £3.99 it is a bargain and a half, the only thing is I wouldn't recommend taking this on a night out because I made this mistake and managed to crack it and ended up with a bag full of powder :(





On Monday me and Ben headed to Whiterose and I picked up this little cutie in Topman for £2.15 and I had to have him :D


For Christmas Natalie got me this GORGEOUS ring that I have absolutely fallen in-love with and wanted to share with ya!

 

I also decided seen as it was a new year I would get a new hair cut, I'm still not sure about having a side fringe yet but I'm loving the cut. I'm so happy to have a hairdresser that actually listens to how I would like my hair to be cut rather than just chops into it :D

 Velvet blood red top - ebay
Ram scull T-shirt - H&M

Hope you are all well
