Bourjois Summer Collection

I've seen these products a lot throughout social media, especially Instagram and I've been dying to try them and give you my thoughts. I love Bourjois - their products are amazing and so are their new products.

I picked up three of the 12hr Aqua Blushers, a Colour Boost lip crayon and their new, Nude Sensation foundation.

The blushers are gorgeous. They have four shades in total and I have three of them which are; Pink Twice, CocorriCoral and Nude.

The colour, when applied and blended onto the skin is quite sheer, giving that natural, healthy glow. The formula is a gel, which is feels lovely and cooling on the skin and is very easy to blend. 

I picked up only one of the Colour Boost lip crayons as I wasn't sure if i would like the formula or texture as I am a bit fussy - but I do love it. The shade I got was Proudly Naked which is a lovely, natural pink shade. It keeps my lips hydrated and feeling soft, the texture is very smooth and comfortable doesn't make my lips feel sticky and it also lasts quite a long time too

I then picked up the Nude Sensation foundation in the shade 44 Sunny Nude, which is the darkest. The formula is a mousse in texture and it is very smooth to apply, it doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all. It also helps to refine any of my pores and it smoothes out any fine lines I have especially around my eyes. 

(Left to Right) No make up - One layer of the foundation - Two layers of the Foundation

 The foundation, as you can see does even out my skin tone and reduces the appearance of redness and blemishes etc. It is definitely buildable to a fuller coverage without feeling heavy. But I would say for those of you with very dry skin to avoid this foundation, even though it isn't necessarily drying, I don't think it would be kind to dry patches and it would more than likely accentuate them 

But overall, I love these products and I will definitely be building up my collection of these products :)

Brand Review - Technic

 

I'll be honest, I've never heard of this brand before and I only came across it because my work decided to bring in some make-up to help boost sales, and this is the brand they brought it. So far, I've been pleasently surprised, when I swatched the shadows on my hand while I was in work I was shocked, the pigmentation is wonderful and so are the colours in general, I will say though that the shadows may be a tad chalky, and I would guess that there would be a lot of fall out during application, but I don't mind that. For £1.80, what more could I expect? There were three palettes available, Nude, Bronze and Smokey; I got the nude and bronze because I don;t really wear grey/black smokey eyes so it would have just been a waste but so far I'm loving the palettes that I did purchase. I will say though that I would have preffered if the Nude palette had one matte colour as the Bronze and Smokey palettes did, but no matter.

For the nail polishes - I was immediately drawn to this colour, it's in the colour Indian Ocean and to me, it really does look like the perfect colour to represent the Indian ocean. I also love the fact there are two ends, it really adds the polish and I just couldn't help but by it, plus it was only £2.00! bargain! There were four of these polishes in total, but the others didn't really catch my eye, but considering how lovely this one was, I may just have to get them anyway!
