Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara

One thing i have found i favour in a mascara is a good old comb wand, as i am someone who sits there for ages layering her mascara this has become quite necessary to avoid clumps. I am a massive fan of Bourjois anyway so i was really excited to try put this new mascara.

I have always felt that a wand really makes the mascara and this unique wand with spherical bristles really helps to coat each lash with out any clumping and lots of definition and volume. I really love this mascara and if you haven't tried it yet you need to get involved. If you grab it now you can get it for the cracking price of £6.99 saving you £3, you can get yours HERE

Bourjois Java Rice Loose Powder

I am a massive fan of a powder that will set my makeup with out looking heavy but i also want it to brighten my skin, is this too much to ask? Apparently not when it comes to the Bourjois Java Rice powder, first of all it smells amazing (and we all know how much of a sucker i am for anything that smells nice) but it looks incredible on the skin. It doesn't change the colour of your foundation which is great for all year round use, it doesn't feel heavy at all and it has the softest sheen to it so it makes the skin look brighter and healthier.

A lot of people can get put off a powder that appears light in colour however it's translucent (no colour) where i think some of the confusion comes from, it's so finely milled that even thought the colour appears light, it doesn't sit in any fine lines or pores so you physically cannot see it once it is on the face.

If you are slightly oily it's fab so have i your handbag to touch up with as it doesn't build layers or cake so this little puppy is all singing all dancing in my eyes.

If this sounds like your dream powder (as it is mine) then you will love the price point of £9.99, what a BARGAIN! Let me know if you love this as much as i do and you can check it out HERE

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes Contour Kit

I'm an absolute sucker for Benefit products, not only is are the products lovely but the packaging is so damn cute! This kit i have had for a while but have taken it out of my collection for a bit of use recently and i had forgotten how much i love it.


For makeup beginners this is the perfect set, you have your light, medium and dark eyeshadows (so 3 in total) so you can create a soft natural day look or a full on smokey eye. The light and medium eyeshadows have shimmer and the darkest brown is matte so works very well as a liner.

Not only do you get eyeshadow in this kit, you get a Boing concealer in shade 02 as well you can keep the under eye looking perfect. The mini brushes you get with this kit are not my favourite but i never like the applicators given with products i always like my own brushes but they go perfectly with the kit.

This kit retails at £24.50 which is an absolute bargain for for the items included and makes a fab gift. You can check it out HERE

Mac staunchly Stylish Pro Longwear Lip Pencil

On a day to day basis i'm quite lazy with my makeup and i want to wear things that are going to last because generally i forget to re-apply or even look in a mirror to see if my face has melted off. I tend to wear this lip liner most days and here are the reasons why.

It actually does stay on, i know a lot of brands have a claim to their products but this really does last, it may need one more application through the day (obviously depending on what you are doing) but it has great staying power.

The colour is a perfect day to day colour for me i almost wear it with everything, i do apply it all over my lip so it is easy to blend in with most other colours but for me it is the perfect combination of pink/beige. If you apply it on your hand it does look quite dark but on the lips it is perfect.

The texture is not drying unlike most long wearing products, i don't feel the need to apply loads of lip balm after wearing this for a day.

This genuinely is a staple product in my everyday makeup bag, i do love all of the pro longwear lipliners that MAC have but this is definitely a staple.

They retail at £14.50 and you can get them from HERE
