Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks.



Hey guys, today I am here with one of my favourite Bourjois products and it's, as you can guess by the title, their Rouge Edition lipsticks. I picked these up from my local supermarket on offer last summer for 'buy 2 get 2 free', definitely a bargain as they are around 8.99 each (about 7.99 in England I believe). They didn't have all the shades in there, I think they had 6 of them I believe, so I picked up 4 to try them out, and these are by far, one of my favourite ranges of lipsticks from the drugstore brands. They have a really nice texture to them, when you put them on they are very creamy which I love as my lips get dry very easily, and drier lipsticks don't apply very well on my lips. After about ten minutes the lipstick starts to become more matte which is great as glossier lipsticks don't tend to last as long I find (well, on me they don't anyway). For the duration of these lipsticks, I would say they do last a good few hours before it starts to kind of fade away, even if you eat/drink etc, they still tend to last quite a good few hours too, just not as long, depends on how much you drink haha. I think these will be great if you have to go somewhere for a long time, or if you are going out in the evening, as they are good long lasting, even if you just pop to the bathroom to top it up once haha. I checked on their website and I do believe that they come in a range of 18 different colours, from nudes to bright bold reds. I also really like the packaging, I love the black and I love how you can see the colour of the lipstick at the bottom without having to open the lid, definitely handy when you are in a rush to find the colour you want! I will definitely be picking up some more as I feel they are a must have in my collection. 


Here are the 4 lipsticks I chose and my thoughts on the colours :

- The first one I picked up is shade N.04_Rose Tweed. This is a very pretty nude colour, it's quite browny that tilts towards a light pink I would say and I love wearing this in Autumn and Winter but I also love wearing it in spring, I think that it's just a perfect brown nude to wear for any occasion in any season. 



- The second one I chose was N.06_Rose Coquette and this is a very light pinky/coral colour. I thought it looked really pretty in the packaging and was a lovely light spring summer colour but when I opened it up and swatched it, I didn't realise it had shimmer in it, and I am not a big fan of shimmery lipstick to be honest. I think this is my least favourite one out of all four of them, but I still think it's a pretty lipstick and I have worn it a good few times.


- The next one I picked up was N.07_Fuchsia Graffiti. This is a beautiful bright pink colour and what I love about it, is that it doesn't come out too bold either, it is a little bit sheer, so it's great for those who want to dare and try something a little bit more bright but without feeling like your lips are too bold, too out there. I think this is a perfect summer colour and I really love this one.


- The last one I chose was N.14_Pretty Prune. This is by far my favourite one. It's a really pretty Bordeaux colour, but it's not too dark either as again, it kind of has a little sheerness to it. I just think it's a really pretty winter colour and I have been wearing it a loooot lately (along with my Rimmel Kate Moss 107, definitely my favourite). I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is looking for a pretty deep red colour. 



 There you go guys, there's a little review on these gorgeous lipsticks. Let me know if you have ever tried any from this range and if so what ones do you recommend. :)

2015 Goals/Resolutions.


Hey guys, so today I am here with my 2015 goals. I have seen a lot of people do this and thought it would be great to share mine with you. I'm not always the best with new years resolutions and never really end up sticking to them, but I'm pretty sure I am not the only one. This year, I really want to sort my life out and stop worrying about everything, and I really hope that I will be able to do that and stick to my new year goals. So here are my 6, 2015 goals :

1. Become more organised. So, if you knew me in real life, you would say that I am definitely not the most organised person in the world. When I see all these people who have everything organised I kind of get a bit jealous haha, wishing I could be as organised as them. When I was younger I was actually more organised than I am now, which to me seems a bit weird, as I would think it would be the other way round. I always say to myself 'Tomorrow, I am going to sort everything out and start being organised', the next day comes and still nothing changes. But this time, I know (well, hope) that it's going to be different.

2. Eat healthier and do a bit of exercise. Ok so first of all I am not going to lie and say I want to get fit and I'm going to give up junk food and exercise and work out all the time, like everyone else says, because I know that is never going to happen, I am not a very sporty person and I love my food too much (even though I am quite a fussy person). BUT, I do want to cut down on my 'junk food' snacks and exercise a bit more and do some yoga. I love chocolate and crisps and sweet things, and I know I will never be able to stop eating them, but I will definitely cut down, like treat myself to some chocolate or sweets every few days, twice a week maybe (this will also save me money!). I also want to start running a few times a week, I started to do this last summer with my boyfriend, when we were round our parents as they live in the countryside, and running there in the summer is beautiful, but now we live in a town it's not as nice, but there is a little park that's not even a minute walk from us so we thought that we could start running around there. We both love going for bike rides in the summer and we will continue doing that when we go back to our parents in the summer holidays. The other day I bought a Yoga book in the sale and thought it would be a great thing to do a few mornings a week and a smoothie maker as I absolutely love smoothies and I think I will have one every morning for breakfast in the summer. 

3. Try new things. Ok, so I am not always the most adventurous person and I tend to get quite scared when it comes to trying new stuff, especially food. So, as I said above I can be quite a fussy eater, I can eat for 3 people if it's food that I like, but when it comes to something new, that I don't like the look of I instantly fear it and don't want to try it haha. My boyfriend always tries his best to make me try new things and thanks to him I have actually learnt to like things I never used to, but there are still plenty of things that I refuse to try. So for him, and for me, I am going to try more, I mean, it won't harm me right?

4. Save money. I am not the best with money, I always end up spending more than I should, and most of the time on things I don't even need. Me and my boyfriend are meant to be going on holiday to America in a couple of years and to be honest, I haven't actually saved any money up for it yet, oopps. So yes, one of my biggest goals this year is to save money and not spend it on things that I don't really need and are not necessary. 

5. Find a job. Yes, I need to find a job. At the moment I am currently at University in France, but to be honest, I am not really enjoying it that much, and I think I would much rather have a job and start getting proper money and get some work experience and meet new people and just discover the world of work. I have a feeling that this isn't going to be the easiest one of them all, but I am definitely going to try and find one before summer.

6. Do more for other people. This is just a little on I am going to add on, and I think that this is a very important one. I love my boyfriend and my family and friends and sometimes I don't always do the best at helping them or doing stuff for them when they need it or don't even ask. I feel that we should all be grateful for every loving person we have in our life and I feel like I need to do more for these people in my life and show them that I will always be there for them when they need it.


Hope you guys enjoyed this little post and I would love to know one of your 2015 goals in the comments down below. :)

Winter Nail Polish's

Hey guys! Sorry haven't blogged in a while, even though I said I was going to over the Christmas period, but I had so many different things on my mind and to do, that I didn't really get time to sit down and write a good old blog post. 
So I'm back today with some nail polish ideas for the winter. I know there's only 2 month left of winter but I just thought that it would be a nice little post to give you some more ideas and maybe get to discover new nail varnishes. 

1. Ciaté - Dangerous Affair
    This nail varnish is a gorgeous purple/burgundy shade that I think would look gorgeous at this time of year with a lovely burgundy shade lipstick and a white shirt or jumper. This nail varnish isn't the cheapest as it is £9 in Boots but Ciate is great quality and look how cute the bow is on the bottle! (Can be found here.)

2. Essie Winter Collection - Jump In My Jumpsuit
    This one is similar to the Ciaté nail polish but more of a red toned one. I love Essie nail polishes and have a few very pretty ones in my collection for summer and I can't wait to wear them again. They are so easy to apply, last a very long time without chipping and dry very quickly, and so paying £7.99 for this one, you can't really complain. (Can be found here.)

3. Barry M Nail Paint - Nightshade
    Barry M have an amazing range of nail polishes with some really beautiful colours and at great prices. I picked out this shade as I just thought it was a really pretty night time shade (the name says it all haha), it's like a night sky blue. This one is £2.99, bargain for a great nail varnish. (Can be found here.)

4. Models Own - Diamond Luxe Trillion Taupe
    This is a beautiful golden/bronze colour and I think this would look really pretty with some gold jewellery. I personally, have never tried a models own nail polish but I have heard some great reviews about them so when I saw this colour I thought I would add it to this little list. This one is £4.99 in Boots, and I think it is a great price for what you get as I know the bottle is a good size. (Can be found here.)

5. Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel, Autumn Spice 
    Lastly, this nail polish just looks amazing. First of all, look how cute the bottle is, and by the name, you can tell that this is meant to look like a perfume bottle and I would love to have a few of these cute little bottles sitting on my dressing table. Second of all, the colour just looks so warm and reminds me of cinnamon (the name says it too). I would say this is more of a autumn shade but I still think it would look great in the winter. I am guessing, as it is a scented nail polish, that it would have a warm, spicy scent to it, I'm not too sure, as I have tried a scented nail varnish before and once dry it didn't have any scent to it whatsoever. You can get this for £6.49 at Boots. (Can be found here.)



Hope this little post will help some of you to find some great new nail polishes for the rest of winter months and I think I will be doing one of these for when Spring arrives too as I found it quite fun searching around for some cool new nail polishes.
