Bronze Magic

I'd originally planned to name this post after my newest addition to my makeup collection:the bourjois eyeshadow in 54 que j'adore! But sadly it was named Marron Glace. Yeah . . . slightly boring. 

In french it translates to 'Chestnut Ice', but then that sends a whole different message and bringing trees into the equation is even more confusing. 

So if you're wondering, the Bronze Magic is the name of my trusty Lancôme bronzer, and it sort of ties in with my colour scheme hehe!

This makeup look is from yesterday when Claire, Frances and I went to the cinema to see Paper Towns. Basically I just wanted an excuse to wear my new eyeshadow (such a child really!)

 

What's on my face? 

- Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NW10

- They're Real Mascara

- H&M's Eye Pen in 'Pink'

- Bourjois Eyeshadow pot in '54/Marron Glace'

- Bourjois Blush por in 'Rose de Jaspe'

- Lancôme's Magie Bronzer in '02 Bronze Magic'

- Sleek Brow Kit in Dark 81
   - Mac Peach Blossom Lipstick

I'm all about the warm tones at the moment and I seem to have accumulated many tan/bronzey coloured items of clothing all of a sudden, oops!

I picked up this little bourjois eyeshadow in a sale at McArthurGlen Outlet and snapped it up straight away. It's highly pigmented and layers easily without smudging, which is fab if you've got a long day ahead!

I also only recently discovered this Sleek Brow Kit, but after consulting my friend Emma who has fabulous brows, she suggested this lil kit, and I've been using it ever since! It has a soft gel on the left and a lighter powder to apply afterwards, creating a fantastic brow shape! Em also has a wonderful blog too - so go follow her (here) asap! 

Lots of Love,

Bourjois' Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick

Hey dolls, hope you're all well! Today I wanted to share with you my experience with Bourjois' new Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick. It claims to have 24 hold, so I put that to the test (well, sort of!)

First of all, the packaging is nice a dainty. It is applied with a soft applicator, just like lipgloss, except it isn't sticky or heavy on the lips. This one is in the shade '07 Nude-ist' with the Matte Finish, which I love, as it's just a bit darker than my natural lip and light enough to wear everyday.

10am - 30 mins after application 

7pm - 9.5 hours later **

I left the house at 10am this morning and have only just returned, so not really a 24hour test but, here are my before and after pictures, 9 hours on after first applying. As you can see, nine hours later, it has stayed on really well - especially since I've been out for lunch, had a coffee, a drink in Costa and a cuppa when I got in! Although this test wasn't 24hours long, I'm still really impressed with the hold of this lipstick - I mean, come on; 9 hours is a long time! 

It is very easy to apply as it's so smooth, the applicator almost glides over the lips. Definitely a good 10/10 in my book. Plus it's only £8.99 so who can complain! I plan to be making good use of Superdrug's 3 for 2 Bourjois offer very soon to purchase of this fabulous lipstick except in other colours!

This was quite a fun one to do actually, as I kept wanting to apply more, as normal like after lunch and so on. But I'm really impressed with the overall outcome and hold! 

Ooh and guess what guys; I just found out that I passed my first year of uni with a 2:1! Yay! 

Lots of Love, until next time,
