If you saw my Bourjois A-Z of Beauty Giveaway Winnings post you’ll have seen I was lucky to get my hands on several things from Bourjois, and one of them included one of the Shine Edition Lipsticks in the shade Rouge Making Of. Being a complete lipstick addict this is one of the first things I got around to playing with first. I also thought that out of everything the packaging stood out the most.
First thing I thought when I tried this was how it reminded me of the Revlon Lip Butters. The packaging, texture and the balm like feel of it, are all very similar. One thing that I found to be different is the pigmentation of the colour. I have the shade Rouge Making Of, a gorgeous bright red shade, and I found that once applied it stayed on for hours. In fact I completely forgot I even applied it and caught my reflection hours later to find it was still there. Just like the Revlon Lip Butters I found it to be super moisturising, which will come in pretty handy now we’re approaching the winter months. I’m not normally a bright red lip type of girl, in fact I’ve only just started venturing out into the world of a dark red lip. So when I first opened this I thought it seemed a little bright, and wasn’t too sure if this would be for me. However when I applied it I found it didn’t come out so bright, and you could even apply it with a lip brush if you wanted a more softer colour.
I think I’m some what smitten with this Shine Edition Lipstick, and I think it may be making several appearances in my daily make up. I’m now even eyeing up some more of the Bourjois Shine Edition Lipsticks…
You may have seen lately that I’m on bit of a weightloss mission. After years of being unhappy about how I looked I decided it was time to do something about it, and work towards getting the body I wanted. Of course I’m going about it all the right way, with diet and exercise, but sometimes…
Over time my nail varnish collection has grown and grown, resulting my nail polishes outgrowing their old home. While I’ve been home over the summer its been okay because I store them all in my dolls house which you can see here. But as I’m going back to uni in a few weeks time, I’m in…

A while ago I never understood why anyone would pay around the £20/30 mark for a foundation. I just didn’t understand why you’d spend so much money on a foundation when you can buy a ‘drugstore’ version for around the £10 mark. I thought surely they can’t provide that much more coverage, or make my…
It’s no secret that I’m a bit of a beauty product junkie. My poor boyfriend has had to put up with countless drawers of products taking over our bedroom and bathroom, yet still I keep buying more. Why? Who knows. I’m terrible for being influenced by other bloggers, and if I see someone talking about…
As you can see August was a good month for my empties. I’ve been trying to use up a lot of my products before I start buying more (not that this will work). I’ve never really done an empties post before, mostly because I’m lazy and only ever use up 1 or 2 things a…
