January Favourites

(Better late than never!) Once Christmas is over, winter also should be over in my opinion, weather please take note. I hate that feeling of a long stretch of coldness ahead of you and in England who knows when it will end?! So appreciating the little things that we enjoy through the most depressing month of the year can help! Here are the things I have been loving over January, enjoy!

Bourjois Twist up the Volume Mascara | Review

I love testing out a new mascaras! So when I picked up this little beauty from Bourjois at London Fashion Week I couldn't wait to try it!

As I've tried to show in the best way I could in the photos below, it has a little twist top with two settings which change the length and width of the wand.

The first setting is longer and the plastic bristles are set wider apart so they comb through all of the lashes and separate them. The second setting twists the wand so that the plastic bristles are closer together, so that it thickens and adds volume to the lashes.

I usually spend a lot of time combing through my lashes on the first setting to make sure they are all separated and coated from root to tip, before switching to the second setting and wiggling the wand through the root of my lashes (rather than at the ends which would make them look clumpy!)

                No Mascara                                   Coat 1                                      Coat 2

It's fab, and sooo black which I love! The formula is quite dry but without being flakey which is also good,and despite my love for natural bristle wands I actually have found myself preferring this plastic bristle wand recently! I like how much it really separates them and I can get to all of the little hard to reach lashes at each end of my eyes. 

You may have noticed that I have no mascara on my bottom lashes in these pictures, this is because there is only one mascara I dare to use on my bottom lashes, and that is Clinique's bottom lash mascara! Every single other one I've tried on my bottom lashes ends up half way down my face after a few hours, which, let me tell you... is not a good look!

But for top lashes this is my fave of the moment, it's lengthening, volumising and long lasting AND it does a snazzy wand twisting trick! What more could you want?!

Available to buy at boots now

Have you tried this fabulous new invention?

What's your favourite mascara?

Little exclusive for you as well... Bourjois are developing a new mascara formula to rival Benefit They're Real which, I don't know about you, but I am VERY much looking forward to!

Barry M nail paint in and foil effects

Bourjois dotting tool

I'm getting quite nifty with my little nail art dotting tool! I was only going to do one nail dotty but I went a bit crazy and did the whole lot, but I quite like it, what do you think?

Hope you like!

Halloween Nails | with Bourjois

Happy Halloween!

As I am no longer at university, going out on a Thursday is sadly not really a thing any more, however I did do some pumpkin carving to get into the spirit, and what's a seasonal occasion without themed nail art right? And I'm digging out the cat ears Saturday to go out in Camden so all is not lost! 

Barry M in Black

Collection 2000 5 Day Wear in French White

Bourjois Texture Silicone Gel in Dangerous Wish (part of Bourjois' Halloween range in stores now!)

Bourjois Nail Art Dotting Tool

Step 1: Paint two coats of black on every nail,

Step 2: Use the larger side of the dotting tool to create two oval shapes on each nail except the ring finger (One of mine went wrong which explains the ghost!)

Step 3: Use the smaller side of the dotting tool to draw dots on each white oval.

Step 4: Paint glitter polish on to the ring finger and you're done!

I really love a bit of nail art, so if you've done anything Halloween themed leave it in the comments or mention me in your instagram or twitter pic! xgeorgia

New kid on the block...

I don't know about you but I love Bourjois! It's such high quality makeup but not too expensive. I have sooo many different blushes, but I always end up going back to my little Bourjois blusher pots because I know it's such good quality and will last all day! So as you can imagine I'm quite excited for these new little jobbies! The same little pot, but a cream to powder in some really pretty and flattering shades to suit all skin tones.

In Boots from the 15th May at £7.99 each!

I can't choose between nude velvet and healthy glow, what do you think? Maybe I'll just buy both! 

Have you tried a cream to powder blush before?

How much do you love Bourjois blush pots?

Thanks for reading!
