Bourjois Bronzing Primer - Product Review

I was totally intrigued by the concept of a cream bronzer that you wear under your foundation. If you are familiar with Chanel Universal Bronze, this is more or less the same idea and gives an almost identical result for a third of the price!

MAC Techniques Class - Review

MAC run a techniques class every couple of months where a small group of about 14 people get to learn tips, tricks and new techniques by MAC makeup artists. It lasts two and a half hours and costs €60 which is redeemable off products... sounds brilliant doesn't it! However, and it really does pain me to say this, we were a little disappointed. It was nothing to do with the quality of the workshop or the makeup artists, it was down to the organization of it. They didn't have us booked in despite me calling them to confirm the previous day, also they took the group to the workshop and left us in the store while they started the tutorial before we had even been colour matched.

Bourjois Cream Blush Review (My new blush obsession)

This is a big time product rave from me! I have always put cream blush under the 'not going to work for me' heading as I thought the staying power and dewiness wouldn't mix well with my medium coverage foundation. Also, I never really thought the pigment was that great on any of the ones I had tried. That all changed for me last week when I indulged in a Boots 3 for 2 on Bourjois products and picked up the new Cream Blush in shade 02 Healthy Glow. I LOVE IT!

First of all Im really liking the packaging, the 4 different shades come in small posts that are colored the same as the shade and have a little mirror inside which is always handy for the makeup bag. 

The quality and pigment of this blush is amazing and the constancy is what I think I love most about it. When your applying it to your cheeks with your finger straight from the pot it feels very creamy but once blended it gives a powered finish to your cheeks. 

Another thing I love about this is how build-able it is, you can use it for a light flush look during the day and then apply more to get a stronger shade for at night. Here is a picture of swatches with one coat, 2 coats and 3 coats of the blush to show you how well it builds. 

I found this to have really good staying power both during the day and out at night, it lasts brilliantly. They are €10.49 each which I think is amazing value for the quality of the product. 

Let me know what your favorite blush is...I'm having a bit of a blush phase this month!

No7 Free Gift - Product Reviews

No7 are giving a free gift in Boots at the moment and if you buy any two No7 products you get it. (While stocks last)

The free gift is this really cute makeup bag with 5 products inside. There is nothing like a free gift to push me into buying something! I am not usually a big No7 fan and sometimes find the products overpriced for what you get however, I did really like the lip stains they have at the moment and I was buying one so I bought two instead just to get my hands on the below! I have gone through all 5 products in this post to let you know if there was any fab finds!
