Bourjois Bargain!

Volume Clubbing Ultra Black and Volumizer, Bourjois mascaras.

Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara.

The Volume Clubbing wand (My favourite type of wand)

The much loved Bourjois Volumizer mascara.

Step 1 wand...

... Step 2.

Hi :)

I recently found out that Superdrug have an offer on all Bourjois mascaras... Any mascara for £5.99! So, for all you bargain buyers out there, get yourselves to Superdrug! I was on my lunch break in work, thinking where I had seen this FAB news and couldn't find it anywhere, Twitter, Facebook, Email...

So in the end I thought I would just go to Superdrug for a look anyway... and I found it!!

When I got to the Bourjois stand I saw that most of the mascaras had gone, as its such a good deal! But, I did find one I hadn't tried before so I picked it up. It was the Volume Clubbing Ultra Black mascara, looking at the wand I do like the size and shape of it, its not too big, not too small, and seems to pick up just the right amount of product for the mascara not to be clumpy! (Full review of both mascaras in a few weeks)

The other mascara I picked up was one I have tried before, and one that is loved by many... the Volumizer. I  find that the two step system of the mascara can be a bit too much for me, but I do like the look it gives my lashes for everyday make-up looks. I was very tempted to try more of the mascaras that were left, but thought two was enough in the end, as I still have a few in my collection I need to use up first.

Very happy with these purchases all in all, so make sure you go and get yours before they are all gone!

Wedding Bells and Butterflies...

The Bride, and that dress...

The beautiful Bride and her Husband

The products I used...

In action...

The Cake <3

Last week I was lucky enough to be asked by my work colleague Catherine to do her hair and make-up for her wedding day! Of course, I jumped to the chance! 

... It was 14.07.12...

I got to her house ready to start at 9am, as she was leaving for the church at 11:30am, I set up, and got to work, leaving my 2 hours to work my magic, I started... 

Firstly, I cleansed Catherine's face and neck with Bioderma, I then went on to her base, I used GOSH Cream Foundation Primer all over her face, concentrating on her chin and nose, I then mixed Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in 021 Nude and Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in shade 52. For concealer I used Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer in again shade 52. To contour I used Soleil Tan De Chanel and Bourjois Delice de Soleil or bronzer. For blush... I used MAC cremeblend blush in Something Special, and set it with a light dusting of NARS blush in orgasm. For highlight, nothing but MAC Mineralize Skinfinsh in Soft and Gentle.

Lastly, eyes... As a base I used NARS Eyeshadow Primer, and Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24h in 35- On and On Bronze. For eyeshadow I used a combination of MAC eyeshadows, All That Glitters, Satin Taupe, Nylon, Charcoal Brown. For mascara I used Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Waterproof Mascara. For brows, I used Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown, and set them with MUA clear mascara. I finished off the look by adding Eyelure Individual Lashes in short on the corners of the eyes.

Well... Catherine looked stunning, and to set it all off her dress was amazing, Thank you for letting me do it and GOOD LUCK to all you reading this that have a wedding look to do coming up!

Thank you for reading...
