Bourjois bundle

I wrote yesterday about the Rimmel bundle I got from TK Maxx, well at the same time I got this little set. I couldn't resist this, I've yet to achieve the perfect smoky eye so anything that will help me along the way! This cost £12.99 with an RRP of £21.50 so another fantastic saving!

Again I have to apologise for the pictures, this camera really doesn't like me. I need to get mine back from Sarah's soon! Anyways, onto the products!

To everyone who doesn't want to tilt their heads to ridiculous angles to see what these items are, I'll just tell you. From left to right (or top to bottom) we have, Volume Glamour Ultra Black mascara in shade 61 Ultra Black, Smoky Eyes Trio in shade 03 Mordoré Chic, Effect Smoky in shade 71 Smoked Brown and I also got a wee free gift with it, a sample size of Effect 3D mobile unfortunately it's not got a shade number or name on it, it's kind of a sandy, beigey type shade I'd say (of course I could be and probably am wrong)

I've not really tried that much brown eyeliner, I've grown up using black so it's a bit of a welcome change if I'm honest. Something different! I forgot to take a close up of the smudging brush but it's not sponge like most of them are these days, it's a little brush. I was a bit disappointed as I love the sponge tip idea, but I'll give it a go! 

Again, I've not really used many shades like this, my shadow is usually very bright colours or non-existent, but I'm looking forward to seeing if I can create the intended smoky eye effect. Like the quad from the Rimmel bundle there is a wee guide on the back showing you how to achieve the smoky eye.

I have to admit, after opening the Rimmel mascara then opening this, I was a bit disappointed in this but I think that's only because I love bristle brushes so much that when I opened this I just thought 'oh no bristles' I'm not going to think about that when I try it though, open mind!

I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss, I tend to find it too gloopy and just plain eurgh but again I'll give it a go. Never know I might fall in love with it!

Yet again more fantastic savings! I really need to start shopping in TK Maxx more often, the savings are unbelievable!
What was the last big saving you made?

Bourjois; 25 Argent

I've very briefly mentioned this eyeshadow in this post but I'm back to talk about it again! And with better pictures this time as well. As I mentioned in the post I've linked up there, I got this in a wee 3 pack of items for £7.99 with an RRP of £21.67 Nice wee saving there and nice wee products too!!

Because of how much I paid for all these items, I was not expecting this eyeshadow to be so lovely! I was in no way expecting it to have a mirror in it so that was a great surprise. The mirror is fabulous for getting up close and doing your eyelids. I also love the brush, the way it's shaped and the way it picks up the products.

For the finishing touch, I was given a wee tip inside the eyeshadow telling me that if I used a slightly wet brush, it will reveal the full intensity of the powder's pigments.

How's that for a dazzly, jazzy looking number? 

NOTD: Need improvement!

I really need to work on doing my nails, I always think they look so messy! Any tips for anything to do with painting nails, I will greatly appreciate!

The colours used are N.Y.C In a New York Minute quick dry nail polish in 221 Spring Street and Bourjois 1 Seconde with fan effect brush in shade #15? This is the only thing that I can see on the bottle that points toward a shade.

I love both these colours so thought I'd try them together. Think they look quite nice actually. I can't find my top coat so unfortunately this look won't last long but it was fun doing it!

What have you done to your nails recently?

Thank you TK Maxx!

Finally decided to go in and use my five pound gift card that I won from Facebook. Picked up this wee three pack for £7.99 It had an RRP of £21.67 so I'd say I got a good deal!

Bourjois 1 seconde in shade 15 I think. Can't see anything else pointing towards a name or colour. I love the fan effect brush on this polish, makes applying so easy! I'll definitely be purchasing more shades!
Bourjois eyeshadow shade 25 Argent. I love this shade on its own but I'm looking forward to seeing how it blends with other coloues.
Une lipstick in L20. I don't tend to go for lipsticks with brown tones in them so I was q bit skeptical about trying this, however I really like the colour on! The actual lipstick doesn't go on too great, its quite thin. I'm hoping to get a good lip brush soon to see how it sits after building it up.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with these products. I'll need to remember TK Maxx for the future!
