My First ever Bourjois Makeup items came Friday in the post. YEY!
They came with my favourite magazine subscription. 'Company' magazine.
I was so surprised of the quality of these products. I have always just glanced over the Bourjois makeup selection in the drugstores. (Safe to say I won't be anymore)
Immediately as they fell out the packet I couldn't wait to use them, which isn't normally me as I am a hoarder of good makeup products.
First fell out was a nude colour lipstick, even though I do not use nude lipsticks as my lips are very thin and I believe nude colours on my lips make me look very washed out. I adore this one, it glides on so evenly and smoothly. The texture is rich and silky is all I can describe it as. So is the colour it is a very rich nude and with the silky shine it has to it, it quite makes my lips look plump.
It is the Rouge Edition in 02 Beige Trench. The packaging is So neat and appealing I love the contrast of the two colours, defiantly won't be just hidden in my make up collection.
Next is something that is just so me I had a very big smile on my face.
Red nail polish in a wicked dark colour is what I dream of! So when this fell into my hand you can believe the excitement I had.
1 Seconde Gel Nail Polish oddly the actual bottle does not say what it is called so looking it up online the nearest colour I found to it was Rouge Velvet. The applying method is so easy with the thick brush, only two coats was needed and it only took seconds to dry (seconds because the room I was in was boiling so took longer to cool down than in a normal temperature room).
Mascara. Now that is a makeup product I can not live without, it is like my lifeline. As I have naturally blonde hair my eyelashes are also very light (unfortunately). So black mascara is my Savior I love thick fluttering eyelashes as much as a cat loves a nice sunbathe in sun streaks. (That is the first places to look for my two cats).
Now back to this beauty in a pot, 'Beauty Full Volume' in Dark Kohl is very appealing to me it already screams out sexy full lashes. The printed design is very eye catching and the thickness on the bottle inclines me to think I won't be disappointed. The cute little brush is super easy for bottom lashes and getting right to the edge. (no messy smudges on my eyelid. Hoorah!!)
Eyeliner is another daily product I use, mostly I opt for a thin liquid brush on top for a cat eye effect then Kohl pencil on the bottom lash line. Yet I am so excited to try out this angled felt tip like pen liner. It promises me it's long lasting, well in it's own words is 'Very long-lasting' in a 01 Dark Black shade. I am not going to disagree. (Just went to try it for my 'get ready with me' vlog) It was so much more super easy to use than I thought, the first line I made went slightly askew but once I got the angle of the brush correct I did slightly well for my first try.
My final two beauty's are like a naughty sin tempting me in, I have longed for a cream to powder eyeshadow pot for so long, but as I have not used up any of my current eye shadows in powder form I have told myself no!. Then hallelujah two fall right into my hands and the perfect colours! I swear this company just knows me!
First is Colour Edition 24H in 01 Merveille d'argent - A beautiful cream nude almost to pink silver glitter pot of wonderful-ness. This applies so easily and is so flatteringly easy to have a slight shimmer to your eyes or build up for a full on shimmering eye. Out of 10 I give this a 100.
Next is Colour Edition 24H in 05 Prune nocturne - How this colour excites me. A metallic red with a hint of orange to make it more inviting. This I will defiantly be layering up to create a smokey eye look with the 01 Merville d'argent often. This too applies so smoothly and you do have to do a bit of layering to get the full block colour in the pot but it blends in so nicely it really creates a great smokey effect.
All in all I loved every single thing and can not wait to go raid the bourjois counter soon for more stock.
