New In: Bourjois Christmas

If there's one brand that I can whole heartedly say I've fallen in love with this year then thats Bourjois. You've probably noticed it cropping up in a few (or a lot) of posts lately and that's because I genuinely want to put across the amazing product they're coming out with. You just all need to know all about them! 

I've got a few new releases from them in my beauty stash and I'm so impressed I thought it was worth it's own god damn post. 

I'm going to start with my favourite and the Bourjois Mega Eye Liner Pen in Ultra Black*, the product I put down my new found love (and ability) of the cat eye flick. It makes it do-able and anything that can do that is a god send, and this is definitely that. Another eye product love and it's the Bourjois Volume 1 Second Mascara in Ultra Black*, another favourite of mine and one that took far over from my high end love of the Bobbi Brown Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara. It's cheaper and better - bonus!

Onto the eye shadows and the new release of the Bourjois Smoky Stories Eye Shadow Quads* is perfect. I love a smoky eye all year round, but as soon as it gets a little colder I up the ante and add a little extra glitter in. These quads make a smoky eye and easy eye and you've got everything you need for the look in the one palette. Plus, the shades are to die for. Love!

Another eye edition and this time it's a cream shadow and they've released a couple new shades into their Bourjois 24HR Colour Edition Cream Eye Shadow Collection. The shades are 07 Flocon d'or*, a beautiful frosty golden beige, perfect for the inner corner highlight, and 08 Marron Givre*, a velvety dusky brown and oh my gosh are these beautiful to apply. I can't say I've tested out the 24hrs, I mean who does wear makeup for that long but they do last amazingly well when I do wear them. 

Nails and the Bourjois 1 Second Gel Effect Polishes are some of my favourites. The bigger brush makes the application so much easier and the finish is gorgeous. They've released a few new shades in the form of 44 Grey To Meet You*, 45 Glitterizer* and 11 Rouge To Meet You*. 

Now we're talking lips and the amazing Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipsticks have released a couple new shades. I love these for their pigmentation and lasting power and oh boy, these aren't any different. They've released 09 Happy Nude Year* along with 01 Personne Ne Rouge*! A beautiful nude and the Christmas red you've been looking for...  

How dreamy are all of these products? All totally on point for Christmas 2014... and just a heads up, if you fancy picking some of these up for yourself or as a gift for Christmas, Superdrug have got it on 3 for 2 at the minute and you'll get your hands on a 1 Second Nail Polish while you're at it for free too. Amazing!

Hairspray and Lipstick Academy Event: Cara Delevingne Spring/Summer Inspired Look

Last week, I took a trip down to the Hairspray and Lipstick Academy for an event they were having to show us the Academy and what they were doing there. It was really interesting to hear about the Academy and meet the make up artists behind it. 

The Academy is currently running discounted courses if you book for May, you can take a look at the website here and see the different courses they run.  

I had my make-up by the lovely Eva, we opted for a Cara Delevingne Spring/Summer look. 

Eva taught me so much in the time she was doing my make up, she used such a mixture of products for different things and now I know I'll get much more use out of my products.

You can read about how we achieved this look here for an article I wrote for Baobella. 

Here's the finished look: 

I was so happy with the outcome as it really isn't a look I would usually go for. I usually opt for eye around the eyes and a statement lip so this definitely made a nice change. I would never have thought of using a lip contour pencil for the brows or a lip gloss to create a highlighter. Eva told us that as long as the shade is right you can use a product in anyway you like, that way you get more use out of the products you do have and don't have to spend unnecessary amounts on new shades of different products. Tip of the day for you there! 

Would you go on a make up course?
