Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons || Review + Swatches

beauty August 17, 2013

Nobody can deny that lip crayons are everywhere right now. It all started with Clinique's chubby sticks, and now several brands, including Models Own and Revlon have their own version, and finally, Bourjois do too!

Now don't get me wrong, I love the Bourjois powder products, such as their eyeshadows, blushes and bronzers, but in the past, I haven't been a fan of their lip products.

However, in one of Zoella's recent videos (here) she raves about these lip crayons (her particular favourite was "Peach On The Beach" and as much as I loved the name, the actual product would was me out beause it was so pale). I had to try them, because they looked amazing. So the next time I was in Boots I picked ths one, in "01 - Red Sunrise" . Can we just think for a moment about how adorable the name is?!

I really love the packaging on the product. I think it's simple, but modern, and I love how the silver contrasts with the raspberry colour. It's also a great size and shape, so it can easily fit into my handbag. It's my new handbag essential!

Now onto the product itself. On the package it claims to:

-Last 10 hours

-Be waterproof

-Have SPF 15

It doesn't last ten hours, but it does last a pretty long time! I had t reapply it maybe 3 hours after first putting it on, and by that point, it had actually faded into a really nice colour.

I think it is pretty waterproof, as when I drunk, it stayed on my lips, and as for the SPF factor 15, well that's always a good thing, isn't it? Also, the product is very moisturising on my lips (unlike the Models' Own one, which in my opinion, dried out my lips quite badly)

As you can see from my (terrible) swatch above, the colour is pretty build-able. The top swatch is just with one swipe of the crayon, and the second is with a few swipes, so it suits everyone!

The colour range itself is pretty good considering there is only 4, as there is an orange, a pink, a red (and I have totally forgotten the other one). I got the red-pink one, as I thought it would be the most wearable fr my skin tone, and i'm a sucker for red. I was actually hoping there would be a bold red for me to try, but this was the closest they had, and although I absolutely love it, I hope they bring a bright red out!

With only a little bit of product

After the product was built up more, you can see that it's quite a bit bolder.

Conclusion:

I love the product, and my only critique would be that they don't have a bright red!

The product is moisturising, strong colour, long lasting, waterproof to an extent, and I now find myself reaching for this particular colour over all my other lipsticks, which is unusual for me, as I usually chop and change every day.

Love love love this product, and I would give it 4.5/5 !

Beauty Haul!

beauty August 13, 2013

I was a little bit naughty the past three days... I went to ASDA, Boots, and Superdrug, and came out with quite a lot of beauty products! I spent so much money, oops... I think it was worth it though because they're all things I need. (I tell myself that, but realistically, it isn't true.. i definitely didn't need four nail varnishes and four lip products). So lets show you all what I bought that has made me pennie-less!

I obviously had to repurchase this concealer! I've probably gone through about 20 of them! I got shade number 3 "Medium", because I have a slight tan.

So I was browsing the Barry M stand in Boots, and I spotted this, the "Nail Pain Sequined Effect". I'd never noticed it before (is it new?), and I thought I would see how it turns out, as it looks so pretty in the bottle!

This was on offer in ASDA, to £2, so of course I had to get it. I've actually already worn it, and I actually really disliked it. The colour was nice, but it took FOREVER to dry, and it chipped within the first day.

I have been a fan of gel eyeliner for ages, and i just recently finished my Rimmel Gel Liner, and it was out of stock, so I bought this instead, as it got good reviews!

Like many people on the internet, I have bags under my eyes, and my eyes are often puffy, so I decided I needed a solution. So, lets see if this works?

Everyone raves about this product, but i've been a lover of Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip balm for years. When I spotted this in superdrug, I gave in, and bought it. I haven't used it yet, but I can tell you that it smells divine.

I am still on the hunt for something to fill in my eyebrows! This is the latest in my purchases for eyebrow things. Fingers crossed it does the job!

A new product by Maybelline is the 24hr colour tattoo. I got the shade "On and On Bronze" (because I am not adventurous with my eyes at all. I've used it a few times, and I really like it actually.

My Maybelline "The Falsies" Mascara ran out, so instead of repurchasing it, I thought i'd try something different! The Rocket mascara, also by Maybelline.

These Lipsticks from MUA (shades 7 and 3) were only £1! And Louise from "Sprinkleofglitter" raves about these, as do many other bloggers/youtubers. So I bought two, because you can't go wrong when they're only one pound, can you?

I forgot to add this into my main picture, but I also picked up this nail polish from Model's Own, in the colour "Utopia". It's a really nice dusky pink/brown colour, and I thought it would be quite flattering.

Another Barry M purchase! I've had my eye on this for ages, but I haven't bought it, because I would always convince myself that I wouldn't need it, but I gave in eventually, and here it is, in my nail polish collection, yay!

I love this so much! It's the "COlour Boost Glossy Finish lipstick" by Bourjoois Paris in the colour "01 Red Sunrise". I really like this name actually, but the actual product is brilliant! I can't rave about it enough!

My final purchase, was a Sleek Eyeshadow Pallette (Finally!). This is another thing i've been wantingfor ages, but I thought it was too expensive. I had however never seen this palette before (Au Naturel 601), and when I saw it, I fell in love with the colours. (that sounds so cheesy ha). I'm not very risky with my eyes, I mostly stick to browns and creams, which is pretty much all this consists of, so it's perfect! I've also heard great things about the Sleek palettes.

And that's it! I'm actually really happy with my purchases, and can't wait to try them all, possibly doing some reviews on a few choice products?

So tell me, have you tried any of these products? What did you think of them? I'd love to know!

What's In My Makeup Bag?

beauty July 28, 2013

UPDATED MAKEUP BAG HERE

I have been planning to do this blog post for ages now, and then my camera broke, so I had to wait, but it's fixed, so I can finally do it! What I've literally done is just emptied out the contents of my daily makeup bag. I don't use all of this in a daily basis, but there are definitely my most used products, so, lets take a look, shall we?

The mess that is my makeup bag contents!

(Note: My makeup bag is one that I got with an FCUK bath set a few years ago, it's the only one I have big enough to hold everything!)

First up is my three favourite colours from "Models Own" Blueberry Muffin(1), Strawberry Tart(2) and Zest a Peel(3). I have no idea why they're in my makeup bag, but oh well.. They're pretty anyway.

My sleek contour/highlighting palette is my lifesaver in the mornings, particularly the contouring. I think it adds definition to my face, and there's rarely a day it doesn't get used.

I do like this No7 eyeshadow palette in "Garden Of Eden", but I never ever use the two greens, but I use the browns a lot, because I love the pigmentation of them.

The Bourjois Delice de Poudre - This is a new addition to my makeup bag, but already I love it. It's really subtle bronzer, but I prefer them like that.

A beauty bloggers favourite, it's the Rimmel Apocalips lip laquers in Luna(1) and Big Bang(2). I can't explain how much I am in love with these, especially number 2! I am a little bit obsessed.

Ths is a really old, expensive Christion Dior lipstick in "Sparkling Red". I do like it, but I rarely wear it, because in my opinion, it's my least favourite red lipstick I own, and it's so old it should probably be thrown out..

I did a whole review of Lush's bubblegum lipscrub on my blog earlier this year (which you can find here), but I do love this product, a lot!

This is the "Lasting Finish" Lipstick by Rimmel (can you tell I love this brand?!) in "Drop of Sherry", and I absolutely love it! It's quite subtle, so it's easily wearable during the day.

Another beauty cult product, it is of course the Collection (2000) lasting perfection concealer, and it is easily the most used, and most repurchased product in my makeup bag. Even if I don't have any other makeup on, I would have to have this on! And for under a fiver, that just makes it even better.

Another recent purchase. I saw this in boots, and I hadn't seen it before, so I picked it up. I'm reviewing it soon, but so far, it's been nice, but it's not a great colour for me, as it's kind of orange. I love orange, however, I don't think I suit it.

Ah, the Kate Moss Lipsticks, in 10, 107 and 03. Not a bad thing to say about these, they really are brilliant. I actually did a review of these (specifically 107) which you can read here.

I really do like Rimmel products, don't ? I found three eye liners in white, brown and black. I use the brown to do my eyebrows(although i'm on the hunt for a better substitution, any suggestions are welcomed with open arms!). I rarely use the white, and I use the black along my waterline.

Just some standard QVS tweezers. They do the job.

All my "Eco Tools" brushes! They cost me in total about £13 and I love them lots.

Maybelline The Falsies mascara. When i first purchased this product, I hated it, and I stopped using it, before going back to it, and then loving it! It's now easily my favourite mascara..

I rarely use the actual palette (and if i do use it, it's only the third row), and one of my little sisters decided to stick their fingers in 4/6 of the lipglosses on the bottom row.. The reason this is in there is because of the mirror. It's huge!

Yet another beauty cult product. I love this, and I really think it helps block the shine, as there's nothing worse than seeing photos from a night out you've had, and you're so shiny that you could be spotted a mile away! (It's happened to me many a time.. But not since I started using this!)

I have tried countless ways of applying eyeliner to my top lid, pen, liquid, pencil, and gel. This gel liner, is the best product i've used, and trust me, i've used tonnes. I absolutely adore it! It's so easy to use, and it stays on all day, you don't need to touch it up at all.

Oh how I love my "Wake Me UP" foundation.. I first bought this product 2 years ago I think, or whenever it first came out, and i've never looked back. I've repurchased this almost as many times as i've bought the concealer by Collection again, and that's a lot of times! I just love it. (I've said love a lot in this blog post...)

You can't have a makeup bag without a lipbalm! I get such dry lips, so lipbalm is my best friend all year round!

Last but not least, my trusty eyelash curlers, by QVS. To be honest I looked in boots and just picked up the cheapest eyelash curlers, and they work great!

So that is all the products I use most! Pretty much all of them are drugstore brands, and they're cheap, but I think they work fine on my face, and right now there isn't much I would actually change about my makeup routine. I hope you liked this, i'll see you soon!
