First Impressions: Bourjois Paris

Hello you beautiful people!

I thought I would share three of the products I bought from the drugstore Boots today, I was in need of a highlighter, a blusher and a bronzer that isn't matte nor too shimmery. Below are the three products I chose.

The bronzing power is in shade 52 - £7.99

The blusher is in shade 33 - £7.99

The highlighter is (actually a white eyeshadow) - £6.99

 Delice de Poudre shade 52

I have seen this product on many bloggers' and vloggers' pages online along with having heard many great reviews over this chocolate look-a-like bronzer. This is something I have wanted for a while but seeing as I have a low, student budget and already own two bronzers (one being from Mac) I felt in some ways it was unnecessary to buy, however today I felt like 'why not?!'.

At first swatch it is not actually that pigmented and is quite orange in tones so now I'm even more sceptical about trying it but when I have I will let you know.  

Eyeshadow (highlighter)

This product is actually an eyeshadow - something that I NEVER wear but recently I have started to use small amount to highlight my cheek bones and beneath my eyebrow bone again to highlight for the reason that I am rather pale and most highlighters I have found aren't quite light enough!

The swatch came out very pigmented so when it comes to testing this out I'll be sure to use it sparingly! I am hopeful for this product, but either way I will let you guys know.. :)

Blush shade 33 

Now, this is by far my favourite of the three products! I have never been one to wear blush seeing as I'm more for the bronzed and contoured look, although for a long time I have wanted to do something different with my every day makeup and adding a bit of blusher seemed like the most obvious thing to do. 

I chose a shade that was in the middle of the range and one that I felt goes with this cold, wintery weather because the cold gives most people a natural red/pink flush of the cheeks. Again this product came out extremely pigmented so I am nervous about the application seeing as I have never actually done it! But yes after a few wears I will fill you all in as to how everything went.

Above are swatches of the three products:

Top - blush

Middle - eyeshadow/highlighter

Bottom - bronzer

As I have said many times, once I have given each product a few wears as well as learning how to apply blusher, I will update you all on how I got on with them. But this is it from me for now, I'll speak to you again soon!

Lots of love,

Finally...

Hello, you beautiful people!

For many many months, if not years I have pretty much dreamt of beginning a blog/vlog channel online after much inspiration from current bloggers and YouTubers such as Zoella, inthefrow, SprinkleOfGlitter, Tanya Burr, Niomi Smart and many more. So after creating my SECOND blog page, I have plucked up the courage to actually write a post, because it may seem like no big deal but to me, this is actually quite scary!

There is something about blogging and vlogging that I have enjoyed for such a long time now, so much so that I have wanted to try it myself. For a while I tried to come up with a 'theme' for my blog but after a lot of brain boggling I came to the conclusion of just going with the flow. I would much rather have a blog page full of my random rants, raves, loathes and loves with a range of subjects/categories compared to having to stick to a selected theme of beauty for example. (Not that I would be much help to the beauty lovers out there, that is for sure!)

Anyway. I honestly haven't even thought this first blog post out, I just decided that today is the day! I have just began typing and this is what has happened (not much). In actual fact, I did get my laptop out to do some revision for my A-Levels but procrastination has lead me here! I am hoping to do at least one or two blog posts a week depending on how motivated I am seeing as I am probably one of the most lazy people you will come across - as you will soon come to learn. Hence the reason it has taken me SO long to begin blogging. As I already said I haven't got a theme, so some posts may be right up your alley and you'll hopefully (fingers crossed) love, and others you may think a few naughty words because that is more than okay.

This is it from me for now, I'll speak to you again soon!

Lots of love,
