Bourjois 1 Seconde Volume

Mascara, Mascara what can I say? I love it but at the moment  I hate it, quite recently I haven't been able to find a staple one I like, I don't know why but this year all the mascaras I've owned have in someway or another been disappointing. 



I sort of bought this mascara in a mad 'Argh I don't know what to get for my 3rd item in a 2 for 3 offer', I looked at brush and it freaked me out and reminded me of a No 7 one I had a few years back which was just awful. Then I went back to numerous different brands and products and then grabbed Bourjois' newest product; 1 Seconde Volume. The packing drew me in, I was like a magpie, all thoughts of massive scary wands flew from my mind and I just saw the silver and orange packaging dance in my eyes. I then paided for my goods and on the way home I had realised what I had done.




So I thought ok it was just that one time I had a massive mascara wand, which didn't work out, Ill give this one ago, well I actually really like the brush, it gives a good amount of product on to the lashes and I can get away with one coat. which is amaze. The brush is a mix of spherical bristles and straight ones, so two different textures in one brush, I'm assuming the ball like bristles apply the product and the straight bristles help to spread and de- clump the product. (I may be wrong but thats the kind of jist I get).





With the actual mascara flaking is quite minimal, which is great as this has been my struggle with many mascaras this year and they have all been new ones as well so its not the old formula. My only niggle is that after about 6 or 7 hours of wearing it, it gets a little bit itchy, I have to give my lash line a rub which is a little annoying.



This mascara looking amazing when your eyelashes are curled, if I don't do this, the product doesn't benefit me that much, but my lashes stay curled all day look when I have used a curler.

Overall I think the mascara wand is great, but I'm not to sure on the actual mascara, the formula just irritates me slightly. Im not sure I will buy this product again, but I will be keeping the brush and using it with different mascaras.


Have you tried Bourjois 1 Seconde Volume if so what did you think?

    Thanks for the review! Looks like I will be skipping out on this mascara, I don't typically curl my eyelashes, so I won't benefit much from this mascara!

    Yeah I didn't curl my lashes for some reason and I just remember looking in the mirror and thinking it doesn't look like I have that much on if any. xx

    What a shame about the formula. A lot of people have said it reminds them on benefit they're real but I think the collection 'does it all' is a better dupe :)

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy. This also marks my blog starting to include more fashion posts.  Top Middle: This picture was from a monthly favourites review (I believe it was March favorites), I had just received my Zoeva brushes for my birthday which I still absolutely love! And finally got my hands on velvet teddy. Top Right: Who'd have thought that my boyfriend would have such good baking skills that  his cake got in to my top nine?! Every year we try and make the biggest and best birthday cake we possibly can! It tasted lush and was mana

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
