Bourjois Sweet Kiss Naturel in 06 Rose Tendre

Do you know the feeling when you want to love something so much, but simply can't? I have that with my Bourjois lipstick, the second I saw it, I thought I was in love with it, such a gorgeous, gentle shade, perfect to accentuate my natural colour. However, once you put it on, the misery starts. If I pay 13 EUR for a lipstick, I expect it to be at least moisturizing, which is not the case here. The lipstick has a matte finish, and I can guarantee you that it dries the lips quite a bit. It sinks into the wrinkles. Oh my oh my. It is only now that I have tried this lipstick, that I fully appreciate all of my Revlon ColorBurst lipsticks and even a cheap Catrice lipstick performs better than this...very disappointing!

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

This review is a bit overdue, but in my defence, I was trying to wear this foundation on a regular basis just to see how it wear throughout the day etc. My first impression was that it is too yellow for my skin but once I put it on, it blended nicely with my skin and gave it a really nice healthy sheen. My shade is no 52 Vanilla, 30 ml, bought it in Kruidvat during a special deal, 2 products for 15 EUR. I will definitely repurchase it, just to have more options on days when I feel I need apaler,  light-weight foundation with a calming effect. It has a surprisingly good coverage and yet it does not feel like a mask. Plus, the pump makes it easy to dose the product (you hear me, Revlon with your lovely but impractical ColourStay foundation!). I absolutely recommend trying it out.

 

 

Bourjois Regard Pailleté kohl pencil

It is no secret that I love Bourjois eye pencils, so I decided to get a new one (Cora, I think it costs around 7 EUR). It is a black kohl pencil with sparkles, colour no 31. I use it as a base all over the eyelid for an evening makeup and I also discovered that works really well on the waterline, which is very surprising!

 

 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and duochrome eyeliner

15 EUR well spent, I think! The foundation - 52 vanilla - is normally 14,90 and the eye pencil - 61 vert doré - 7,30. First impressions...love them both, my skin soaked up the foundation quickly and its yellow colour nicely balanced the redness in my face after the shower. The pencil is just beautiful and difficult to take off, which is a good sign :-)

Kruidvat deal of the week

The offer is valid from 6. 12. to 12. 12. I am so getting Healhy Mix foundation and something else :)

Inno haul - Sunday shopping

It is ever such a strange feeling to be shopping on Sunday in Belgium :-). The crazy 4 days at Inno - 20 % off on all cosmetics - resulted in me re-purchasing my favourite foundation Revlon ColourStay 220 Natural Beige, Revlon ColourBurst lipstick in Carnation and Bourjois metallic eyeliner in 51 Noir effet miroir. I paid 26 EUR in total instead of 32,50 EUR :-)

Crazy neon colours - decisions decisions...

Golden and silver pencils

Back to basics - every woman should own these two pencils, any golden and silver will do! Metallics are a on and off trend, so you want to stock up. Generally, you can use these pencils to make your eyes look bigger and brighter (when you apply them around your tear duct area or under the brow bone).

This is Essence metallic eye pencil in 03 iron goddess and Bourjois 13 argent créatif eyeliner pencil.

I really like them both, they have a nice staying power, so off you go, make yourself pretty :-).
