Bourjois Cream Blush - 02 Healthy Glow




Bourjois Cream Blush - £7.99 (Superdrug) (Boots)

I'm coming to the end of my second pot of Maybelline Dream Touch blush in apricot. It's one of my favourite summer time blushers but as I'm reaching the end of the pot I decided I didn't want to go in for the 3rd pot and that it was time to try something new. My current love affair with Bourjois led me to their new little pots of cream blush. There's four shades altogether - Nude Velvet, Healthy Glow, Rose Tender & Sweet Cherry. They're all so pretty but I decided to get shade 2 Healthy Glow. It's a really subtle peachy tone that leaves a little colour on the cheeks and really brightens my complexion when applied. It has a teeny shimmer to its finish which just adds to the healthy look it gives off with it's finish. These apply so smoothly with just your fingertips and have no problems blending out. I'm so tempted to get shade 4 sweet cherry too as I just love the finish of these. They're currently 3 for 2 in superdrug and boots too :)

Bourjois Shine Lipsticks - Shades 20 & 21






Shade 21 Rouge Making Of


Shade 20 - 1,2,3 Soleil 

Bourjois Shine Lipsticks £7.99 (Selfridges) (Boots)

I haven't picked up a new lipstick in ages - after hanging about the MAC counter for a little while nothing really took my fancy then I stumbled across the Bourjois Shine lipstick range in boots and knew I needed to take some of them home. I picked shades 20 and 21 a sweet coral and brightish red. They are super pigmented but still quite sheer. You can make them completely vibrant by just adding a slick of stain underneath. I do love how sheer they are though as it means you can wear a pretty punchy colour in the day time. I can't wear lipgloss as something in it makes my lips flare up so a glossy lipstick with a buttery base is just perfect for me. This stuff really is so shiny. The wear on them is pretty normal on me they last 2-4 hours dependant on what I'm doing - however the glossy shiny texture that feels so moisturizing on the lips makes them so fun to apply. Bourjois hasn't really hit a bad note for me in ages and these are no exception - I adore them. They are a perfect in between if you don't want the texture and feel of a gloss but still want the full on shine with a moisturising punch.

Coconut Exfoliant - Body Shop




It's no secret that I adore the smell of coconut beauty products - it takes me on holiday every time I take a sniff and is always a winner. I especially love the coconut scent that comes in all of the Body Shop coconut range it's really natural and the right amount of subtle. I picked up this coconut exfoliant about 6 weeks ago and it's already all gone. Apologies for the lack of packaging image I'm not really sure what was going on when I took these. 

I've loved using this product it's my go to exfoliator that I always end up coming back to. It has a lovely sand like grain going through it with some larger particles too. It does such a lovely job at getting the skin really fresh and prepped. My favourite part about this exfoliator is the cream all the exfoliating particles sit in is so creamy and nourishing. After using this my skin doesn't feel dry and tight at all it feels ready for some TLC in the form of a little bit of moisturiser before any tanning. I'm already planning on repurchasing this because even though I dabble with some other exfoliators from time to time this is always the one I go back to.
