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?

What's On My Face Today


The past few days I've not been wearing much make up. Enough for a wee natural glow and a stand out feature.
Todays products are Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream (3rd day of using this sample!), Constance Carroll Mega Volume Waterproof Mascara, Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Colour Comfort Lip Colour in Golden Berry and Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip Shine.

Apart from the BB sample, I purchased all these products from Poundland! The mascara is great for during the day if you don't want out there lashes, just a nice bit of coverage. It would probably look better if I could find my eyelash curlers! And my lips feel amazing! Both the lipstick and the lip butter are nourishing, the colour is great and I think they look fab together! It's a nice rich brown with the shine of the gloss with a golden shimmer to it.

The BB Cream, oh my word I love it! I don't think I'll ever be going back to foundation. I used to have so many problems with foundation; finding the right shade (casper skin!), decent coverage, value for money. Plus it would make my skin feel really heavy, like the foundation was just sitting on top of my face whereas with the BB, it feels like my skin absorbs it and makes me look great! Nice natural, healthy glow. Love it, love it, love it!

This is my first What's On My Face Today, hopefully not my last! Hope you enjoyed it :)
