Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon

I've wanted to try these for ages and Priceline recently had 25% off the entire Bourjois range but when I went to buy them there was only one left in the colour Fuschia Libre. Of the four shades available I initially wanted the orange and coral colours but bought the bright pink one to try out the formula. So far I really love it. It is like a sheer lipstick but with good colour payoff and glossier. The colour is long lasting but the glossiness is not, I have to reapply every 2 or so hours.




It's great for wearing to work as it can be reapplied quickly and while it is a hot pink it's not as bright as a lipstick. Now to hunt down the other colours...

Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman

I've been so excited to try these brushes and they have finally arrived.
I ordered from iherb.com, super fast and cheap shipping, US prices and coupon codes. Sorry Priceline I would rather buy from an Australian retailer but for almost 3 times the price? Sorry no way!

Use the code HDG664 for $10 off your first order of $40 or more.

 




I've only tried the stippling brush so far and I love it! Can't wait to try the rest.

Also got this Elf eye primer to try.



My eyeshadow always creases and I am yet to find a primer that prevents it so we'll see how this one goes.

Life

Why hello there, long time no see!

Now that my boys are a little older I am getting back into fashion and beauty albeit on a budget.

Those that follow me on Instagram would have seen most of these pictures before, those that don't - why not?!

Have had a haircut.

Before:





After:


Not a drastic change but it's nice to get my hair off my neck. It has also faded a lot and is more of a light golden blonde. Will have to put my purple shampoo to good use.

Splurged on some new makeup. I used to use MAC Studio Fix Fluid but stopped because it's expensive. I have to say I am so glad to be using it again!




I had my nails done for the first time in years and decided to try out stiletto nails.


I really love them so might keep them for a while.

That's about it from me. Hopefully I'll be back to blogging more often again and I can try to sort out a mirror so I can do some outfit snaps again.
