Water Lips… Review - Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua!

If you go back and read my review for the Rouge Edition Velvets, you will see, that I wasn't to keen about those - They are beautiful on the lips and last very well, but I just find them a bit to much of a hassle to apply and the smell is weird!

So I was somewhat sceptical, when they launched this aqua version - however from the description and the reviews, they seemed a bit more up my street.

Even though I do like my Nars and Maybelline Matte lip pencils (they so much easier to apply, than the velvets), I do tend to go for a more glossy or satin lip for everyday - It just makes my small lips look a bit more lush, than a dry matte lip.

Velvet Vibes… Review/Swatch - Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipsticks!

To be honest, the whole matte lip isn't really my thing - I do like the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107, but besides that, I often go for a more glossy look, probably because it makes my tiny lips look more luscious:-)

However I always get intrigued, when brands launch these hybrid lipstick/gloss things, so of course I had to try the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets.

Mix it up… Inspiration - Foundation mix up!

I'm pale, no secret there.

This makes it very hard to find the perfect match, when it comes to foundations.

(Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc is pretty much the closets I got).

In my search, I do purchase quite a few foundations - Because who knows, the next one could be the perfect one :-)

So I have quite a few in my collection.

But I'm not one for just throwing money out, so to the get use out of my collection, I try to mix them for several different options.

This have resulted in actually getting use out of every foundation in my collection.

Happy Days… Review - Bourjois Happy Light Foundation!

I couldn't resist.

After discovering, that they did actually do a lighter shade, than the 51 Light Vanilla, which I had tried out on my skin, and it was way to dark, I decided, that I needed to try it out.

It promises to do exactly, what I want from a foundation - so how could I resist? 

Colour Crayons... Product Battle - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain vs. Bourjois Color Boost!

Almost every make up brand has one of them - a crayon lip product.

Recently Bourjois also added one to their line, and I thought, it would be interesting to compare it to one of first ones - Revlons Just Bitten.

Miss Mix-A-Lot... Current Everyday Foundation Routine!

To get the perfect result, sometimes you need to bring out your inner "mixer".

I realised, that I had a few products, that didn't really work alone, but together they gave me just the result, I was looking for.

Winter Love... December Beauty Favourites!

I decided that for the new year, I will do monthly favourites.
For December, I have quite many, but for some months in the future, it might only be a few products.
Because I do really try to circulate my products and also I don't want to repeat the same products over and over again.
So it will be new products and products, I have rediscovered.

Lets just get started with my first ever monthly favs - for the month of December!

Hair and skin:

Anatomicals Make Your Scalp Yelp! - Head Shock Shampoo:
Oh my, I love this shampoo.
I not really sure, what this shampoo actually is suppose to do.
It's very minty and fresh, and it really do make you scalp tinkle.
I have had a lot of problems with itchy and dry scalp, and I also sometimes get small sores.
But I really feel that this shampoo has helped with all of these problems - So of course I'm in love.

Why pay more, when you can pay less??... TAG: I *HEART* Drugstore Makeup

A little while back, I did my first TAG (the 10 products, I would repurchase).

I really enjoyed it - It's a easy way to let you know a bit more about me and my favourite products.

I really like this TAG, and found it very useful.

As you know, I'm a student and therefore have limited means, so drugstore/high street make up have a big place in my heart.

I really enjoy treating myself to a high end product once in a while, but when I just feel like trying out something new, I go to the high street.

Also I really think, that the high street have upped their game the last few years.

So lets get started :-)

Question 1 - Favourite drugstore makeup brand?

This probably won't come as surprise for whose, how have read my blog for while.

I love Rimmel London!

The price is right and almost all their products are great.

I recently did a post about my love for Rimmel London - See it here.

I could probably mention a Rimmel product in every "positive" category below, but for the sake of not repeating myself to much, I will try not to!

Face to face... Product Battle - Bourjois Healthy Mix vs. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum!

I first tried the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation last year, and took a liking to it right away.

Then when I was in London, I saw the Healthy Mix Serum, which is a favourite for many in the beauty community.

I also got a new Healthy Mix Foundation, so now I have both.
So I thought, that it would a be a good opportunity to compare them.

I do think, that brands have a tendency to re-brand products with new names and new packing just for the advertising and new interest!

And as everybody else, I'm very easily fooled.

So lets see, if this is the case with these products.

Say what??!!... Products I don't get/not worth the hype!

Many of the new products I buy, are the result of countless recommendations from bloggers and Beauty Youtubers.

And these three are no exception.

For the most part, I get just as obsessed as everybody else, but these three product really didn't do it for me.
