Bourjois Little Round Pot Blushes review

  I just thought I'd share with you a quick review on my Bourjois blushes. I got these a few months back in two shades. One rose colour, perfect for winter to get a bit of natural looking colour into my cheeks. And a more bronzy tone one, which is perfect for spring/summer when the sun it shining. As the it has the right amount of shimmer in it.

Double Up! - DIY Rose Gold Lipstick

As you're reading the title of this blog post, you're probably thinking what an earth is she going on about?! Well crazy as it the title sounds, it really is a good tip if you are on a budget and looking for a quick new lip colour without having to spend, spend, spend!

So let me explain on what I am actually going on about. Long story short... I wanted a new rose gold colour lip product but I couldn't find one anywhere for a reasonable price on the market. Then it suddenly dawned on me that I could just easily make one myself with the products I already have. This may seem a little strange, but trust me it works unbelievably well!

The products I used to make a gorgeous gold rose colour are...

Now to the nitty gritty, but rather exciting part is to apply the products. Firstly, apply a lipstick of your choice, I chose this lovely rose/bright pink colour from Bourjois.

And now for the main part of this DIY creation-

Apply a cream formula eyeshadow!

Eyeshadow?! Yes, really. An eyeshadow. Who'd thought it, eh? This eyeshadow from Maybelline is a really shimmery gold colour, which is fairly drying so I find it works extra well on your lips as it mattifies, which I find helps the lip colour to stay for a longer time. Bonus!

The finished result...

I focused more gold in the centre of my lips to draw more attention to that area.

I personally think that this is a great way on using products that you maybe don't like so much, and turning them into something completely different which works well. You can use any lip colour as your base and maybe even a different coloured eyeshadow to gold? Who knows what you could come up with!

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation Review

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

The Review

When I brought this foundation, I thought that it was would be something more along the lines of a tinted moisturizer. How wrong could I be?! This foundation is much thicker than I was expecting, it isn't overly thick as such but still much thicker than I thought as it is meant to be a 'nearly naked' foundation. 

The colour range of this foundation, I find is really good. There seems to be a foundation to match nearly every skin colour. However, I did have to buy a shade that was too light. The jump from the shade I have to the one up is very bizare because the shade nude, which is the 150 is much darker and has a quite pinky/orange undertones to it- which would be very wrong for my skin tone. But with a bit of bronzing its not much of a problem.

This foundation lasts around 6-7 hours for me with primer and setting powder- which isn't too bad.

The coverage of this foundation is light/medium, which is different to what I usually go for; as I like a full coverage foundation. But this foundation may have converted me to go for something lighter. It makes my skin look fresh but not shiny. It gives a nice dewy look, and covers any imperfection without looking mask like.

I am in love with this foundation, it really suits what I'm looking for in a daytime foundation!

If you have this, what do you think of it?

  

Rimmel Apocalips

Rimmel Apocalips

Once again, I'm back to Boots buying more drugstore products! But how can you resist a new release, especially from Rimmel?! These new lip products from Rimmel have been raved about all over the blogging world for the past few weeks. And I can see why. They're described as a 'Lip Lacquer' on the packaging. Which are also meant to have the pigmentation of a lipstick, just in a gloss formula.

I've read a few reviews, and saw the comment that they were drying reappearing over and over again. This is why I got put off from buying them at first. But I really do disagree. I must be doing something different! You also cannot deny the pigmentation of these either...

Of course, like any product- there are the pros and cons.

The pros for me are the range of colours they offer. I really could of brought them all, but I went for the lightest shade, which is a very light brown/peach colour (Nude Eclipse). It is a lovely colour for day or night. The pigmentation is just as good as a lipstick, with a gorgeous shine yet suttle. I also don't find them drying, especially if you apply a bit of lip balm before hand. 

However, there are a few problems which I have with these. The applicator can be difficult to use as it is quite bendy, but with a bit of work it is acceptable. Also, I really don't find that these last any longer than about an hour without having to reapply them. Which isn't too much of a problem, but can get a bit tedious after a while.

Overall, I think that it is a great product; which I probably would repurchase. I'm already thinking about buying 2 other shades which really caught my eye!

What do you think of the colour and product itself?
