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!

Soap &Glory - Thick & Fast Mascara

Soap&Glory Thick&Fast Mascara

They say...

This false lash effect mascara creates amazingly, longer, fuller fabulous lashes. Featuring Superfill False Lash Fillers, Shine Amplifiers and No Flake 24 Technology.

Firstly, I'm leaning two ways with this mascara. They say that it gives longer fuller lashes, which yeah, I can agree with because it did make my eyelashes noticeably longer after one coat. Fuller, after about 3 coats, which isn't what I look for in a mascara because I need something that doesn't need a lot of work for the product to do its job right. 

However, on the other hand, whilst using this product I found that the brush was way to large for my eyes to use on the bottom lashes and I struggled with it on my top as it was going all over my eyelids which isn't good, just annoying! I was extremely unhappy with the fact it didn't make my eyelashes curl at all even with using a eyelash curler before. Am I doing something wrong?! 

Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. It's not what I was looking for or expecting at all. I thought and hoped that my lashes would look something fairly like the picture on the box which the mascara is meant to make your lashes look like, and I got the complete oposite. There are much better mascaras on the market than this one, which is a disappointment as most of their other products are faultless!
