I was lucky to finish work slightly early
last Tuesday, which only meant one thing in my mind. Make it to my Priceline
before they close at 5pm and take advantage of the 40% off all cosmetics sale!
When I heard about the sale I thought that
it would be a good time to try the Bourjois Happy Light Foundation and Illuminating Primer,
as well as their healthy balance powder which Amelia Liana has said is a dupe for her beloved Giorgio Armani powder. Unfortunately, my Priceline
either didn’t stock it or it was sold out.
In the end I purchased 4 lip products and 1
eye product. I purchased the Rimmel
Apocalips in Apocaliptic (bright fuchsia pink) and Stellar (cherry red with an orange undertone). I love these products because
they are so pigmented and hydrating. I already have the one in Celestial that I
love for an everyday lip colour; however, it doesn’t last long on my lips. I’m
hoping that because these colours are brighter they will leave a longer lasting
stain behind.
I purchased 2 Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons, one in Peach on the Beach (coral pink) and
the other in Orange Punch (red orange). I’ve worn these a few times and find that easy to apply, very glossy and
not drying which is a winner for my prone to dryness lips.
My last purchase was a Rimmel Scandeleyes in Taupe. I forgot whose blog/video I
watched but they used it as an eyeshadow which I thought was a great idea. I
bought this with the intention of doing just the same, but instead, I’ve been
using it for its intended purchase. I find that this
shade is great for everyday daytime wear as it’s not as harsh as a brown or
black eyeliner. It’s perfect for adding some definition to the
eye. I always set my eyeliners to prevent the inevitable panda eye and have been using my MAC eyeshadows in
coquette and concrete for this as I find they work well with this eyeliner shade.
