August 15 Glossybox

This month’s Glossybox, like all the others did not disappoint! It contained 5 products, 4 of which were full sized that were all very different but all really great! There was no particular theme this month, and the box was it’s usual plain pink and black Glossybox design. So here’s what I thought of the products.

July '15 Favourites

This is my first ever monthly favourites, and I have found it so hard to not choose everything in my makeup collection, so I have tried really hard to stick to what I haven’t been able to put down during July.

I Heart Make Up - Chocolate Desire

So recently I went into my town centres Superdrug to have a look at what I could pick up from Revolutions new I <3 Make Up range. The range they had in store was a little disappointing, nothing like what they have available online, so I only picked up a I <3 Bronzer in Chocolate Desire and a You’re Gorgeous Eye Shadow palette, which is definitely gorgeous. There are a lot of shadows to get through on it, so I won’t write up a review until I’ve given them all a good try.

Bourjois Bronzing Powder, Worth The Hype?

Is Bourjois Bronzing Powder, Worth The Hype?

I have always avoided Bourjois products, I’ve never really bothered to spend money on them and haven’t really given them much of a chance. A few years ago I tried a Bourjois blusher – I actually stole it from my Mum. And it was awful! A whole other level of awful. It was hard to use and looked dreadful on. You couldn’t just rub your brush on it, you had to scrub your brush in to pick up any powder as the blusher was so compressed. It was like a solid block. Since this, I ignored everything that I have heard and read about Bourjois and continued to use other bronzers even though most people I know, and most beauty bloggers own a Bourjois Bronzing Powder.

The other day I was doing my usual hour long stroll around Superdrug and I saw the Bourjois stand. There were so many more products that looked new and exciting, and so well presented. I thought that it was about time to take the plunge and give Bourjois another chance, hoping that over the past few years it had amended it’s flaws and really was worth the hype. I bought the Bourjois Bronzing Powder Tanned 52 for £7.99.

Now, I can’t comment on any other product that they do, or the blusher that they now sell, but the Bronzing Powder definitely didn’t disappoint. It looks great for, the chocolate image is different and looks really cool. The magnetic case is very practical and means it can easily go in your handbag and you can use it on the go. And it smells absolutely lovely. It has a slight shimmer in it which gives your skin a nice, warm glow. And it is a fabulous colour, not too light or too dark, and has a slightly red tone. Overall it’s great, I absolutely love it, I only wish I had given Bourjois a chance sooner. I will definitely be going back and picking up some other Bourjois products!

What do you think of the Bourjois Bronzing Powder? And what other Bourjois products do you love?
