Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in Light & Medium

Hey My beauties how are you all doing today :) :) 
Well you know the way you have to go through so many foundations to get the ONE that suits s
everything you want from it.  It could possibly take years of wasted money trying to find it well i know that's happened with me and I'm sure 90% of you out there are on the same boat.  Well to be honest its almost the same for concealers.  I have went through and tried out so many concealers in my life time to find the right one for my needs.  I suffer with dark circles and dark lids and also suffer with odd breakouts around the time of the month.  I also have some discolouration around my forehead due to sun exposure years ago. 
 It is very hard to find a concealer that is Medium to full coverage, covers up blemishes without looking cakey making them look worst, also a concealer that conceals dark eyes but also brightens them and not soak into fine lines and also budget friendly.  Awwww the list goes on and on.  Well I couldn't believe my eyes and luck when all in one month I find not one but two concealers that does what i want it to do :)  
I have already reviewed my first find which I absolutely adore and that is the Catrice Camouflage Cream Concealer.  Well Today I am revealing my next find The Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer 

I finally after about 2 years of hearing nothing but rave reviews about this concealer got my hands on it.  Where I am from The boots never stocked the Collection brand not until a few months back and now I can finally get it whenever I want so I decided to pick 2 shades as I didn't know which one would suit me 
Out of the four shades to choose from I decided to go with Light and Medium as I didnt know which one would suit my skin-tone more.  Plus it was summer when I bought them and I had a nice tan from the amazing weather we got so even if Light did not match me it would surely match my in the winter when my tan wears off 
The Packaging as you see it is a plastic tube with a twistable lid that contains a sponge tip applicator.  Its the perfect size for applying under the eyes around the nose and on blemishes even though i do not use the sponge for blemishes I use a separate brush for that.  
The writing on the packaging is already wearing off on one of my tubes as i use that more than the other but I wouldn't mind that as long as the product is good :) :) 

As I mentioned above I got two shades Light and Medium.  I found Light is too Light for me at the moment but its perfect for me to use for highlighting areas such as under my eyes between my brows etc Light is pink toned and perfect for anyone who is very pale or with a cool or neutral undertone.  Medium on the other hand is a perfect match for me and is yellow toned perfect for anyone with neutral or warm undertone.  The Fact that I fall into the Warm skintone & neutral undertone category I find both suit me fine.  
The consistency of this concealer is very creamy and semi thick and is super easy to blend in fact it literally takes seconds to blend out to perfection.  

Collection promises maximum coverage with a flawless finish not only that but promises to conceal for up to 16 hrs.  They also so that the concealer is water & transfer proof :) 
They were not wrong in their promises.  You only need the smallest amount to cover what you need to cover and I found even with this concealer been medium to full coverage it does not set into your pores or fine lines.  I can not believe how much of a natural finish I get from this concealer there is no tell tale signs that I use a concealer at all not even on my blemishes.  I have even found that you can get away with not using a powder over the concealer.  The one thing I did find is that it sets very quick so if using under your eyes apply to one eye first when finish apply to the other.  I like to use my e.l.f. Studio Angled Contour Brush to blend the concealer out or just use my fingers.

Lately I have been using both concealers the Medium is for my blemishes and everything else I want to cover up and the Light shade I use to highlight under my eyes more and between my brows down the bridge of my nose on top of my lip on the cheek bones and on my chin :) :) I Love the finish especially on my dull days I am going to post up a photo of before and after in the before photo I have everything from dark eyes to a horrible break out on my chin and mouth area oh yes and some vigorous plucking of eyebrows lol

In all I am totally and madly in love with this concealer its everything I wanted in a concealer and more.  
It conceals everything,  It doesn't settle into fine lines and large pores,  it doesn't need setting,  it brightens up area that needs to be brightened,  it lasts all day,  it doesn't budge or smudge,  it doesnt cake up,  it doesnt dry out and most of all its super affordable at just €6.49 each (at the moment boots.ie are doing a promotion buy 1 get 1 half price)  I Highly Highly recommend this concealer to everyone and I mean everyone if you havent tried it already it gets 10/10 marks for me.  If I could apply this as a foundation I would be a happy gal lol 
Have you tried this concealer yet?  What are your thoughts on it :) 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sharing the Love #22: Interview with Jennifer Florence

Hey my beautifuls How are you all doing today.  Wow i have had such an emotional week with my kiddies starting back to school and my twins first time starting playschool (preschool).  I will get used to it in time :) :)  Today I have another share the love visitor for you This is Jennifer but I know her as Jennybug as that is what her channel was called before she changed it and Jennybug will probably be what i will use when talking about Jennifer, you know the way names just stick to you :) :) 
Jennifer is a dote and so down to earth :) I hope you check out her channel and let her know you popped by she is a young mum doing what she loves and working hard Any mum would be proud to have a daughter like Jennifer :) 
Here is my interview with Jennifer :) 

1.  Hey Jenny Welcome to my blog :) :) Can you tell us a little about yourself :) 

  Hi Nina, thanks so much for including me in this, it's a wonderful idea! Well, my name is Jennifer, and I'm a 24 year old qualified makeup artist, and mammy to a beautiful little girl Alex. I'm a bit mad, or so my friends say :) Love meeting new people and trying new things, cause you only live once!

2.  Tell us a little about your blog 

 I have a channel on Youtube, which up until recently had been under the name 'jennybugx' however I've just started using my full name instead 'Jennifer Florence'. It's a channel for makeup tutorials, hauls, reviews, and whatever other random things might be on my mind! I really am a makeup fanatic, so that's what you'll mostly see. I'm always willing to do requests on what my subscribers would like to see too, as the channel is for them!

3.  What inspired you to start up your blog 

  I had been watching makeup gurus online for about 3 years, and one day I came across Sinead Cady's channel. Through her channel I found many other Irish Youtuber's. I hadn't realised there were so many. I thought to myself 'Maybe I could give this a go'. My two main inspirations were Sinead and Leslie from LACxO, who unfortunately is no longer making videos.

4.  What is your dream job?

  I definitely want to do something to do with makeup! Ideally with a little girl it'd be great if I could be freelance , so I could work around my own schedule. I'd also be delighted if I ended up doing makeup for TV and film. Last year I was makeup artist on the Iris film 'The O' Briens' and I loved every moment. It was the first time in my life I didn't mind getting up at 6 every morning!!

5.  Can you share with us some of your favourite blogs to read ?

 Although I do occasionally read blogs, I really am more of a video girl. I love watching Sinead Cady- http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMakeupChair, Laura O' Sullivan-http://www.youtube.com/user/LaurzBeauty, Julia Graf-http://www.youtube.com/user/MissChievous, http://www.youtube.com/user/MissBudgetBeauty/ (I can't remember her name!)and Wayne Goss-http://www.youtube.com/user/gossmakeupartist. And of course yourself Nina, please come back to making videos soon! Anyone you I follow on Youtube that has a blog linked in will of course be followed too!!!

6.  Your favorite skin care, hair care and makeup products?

 Oh god this is such a tough question!! When it comes to skincare I'm loving the Boots Botanics range at the moment as it's so gentle on my skin and after I had a bad reaction to a product a few months ago, it really saved my skin.I also use quite a few Oriflame products as I used to sell them and built up quite a stash! When it comes to hair, I swear by Dove hair products. They leave my hair so soft and fresh. And makeup....I don't know where to begin!! I love L'oreal and Illamasqua foundations. When it comes to eyeshadows Sleek are amazing and so affordable. I also adore Catrice, especially their lipsticks. Again super cheap, and great products.

7   If you could give one piece of advice to someone who is thinking of starting up their own blog what would it be?

Just do it! I was so nervous when I started. The idea that anyone in the world could be watching my videos and judging me was slightly overwhelming, but once I got past that initial fear, I couldn't get enough of it. It's so fun, very addictive, and when you started to build subscribers and get good feed back, you realise it's all worth it!

8.  Can You tell us what is in you handbag?? (hehehe I like been nosey?  Include a picture ?

  I actually have two handbags on the go at the moment, and neither are clean enough to be pictured!! Let's see, in my main one is my wallet, my passport, two perfumes, a few Catrice lipsticks,a pair of kids sunglasses, random bracelets, chewing gum, powder and a powder brush and other random rubbish!!

9.  Where else apart from your blog can we find you aka twitter facebook etc. 
Well my Youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/jennybugx, and I've just reached 300 subscribers so I'm super excited about that! I don't have a blog as of yet, but definitely hope to make one soon. I'm also on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jenniferflorencemakeup where I post lots of random stuff!!

10  Any last words for us :) 

 All I can say is I'm so happy I started a Youtube page. It's a great experience, I've met some wonderful people through it, learned so much, and I hope I'll be doing it for many years to come and that my subs will enjoy it as much as I do. 

So there is the lovely Jennifer :) I hope you enjoyed the interview with her and if you have a blog or channel or both and want to take part in my Share the Love Interview let me know below :) :) 
Until Next Time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rimmel Scandal'eyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in "Nude"

Hello my beautiful readers how are you all today :) 

I am sure you all agree it is very very hard to find a good pencil eye-liner that will stay on the waterline all day long plus settle on eyes that are sensitive.  To be honest I have tried alot of pencil eye-liners in my time for my waterline even ones that state they are waterproof and found they moved, faded or completely disappeared.  I am one who suffers with sensitive eyes and find anything sets my eyes watering.  

I have found some pencil eye-liners to date that have agreed with my water line and stayed put all the long.  To name two in particular is my favourite Avon Super Shock Eye-liners and another is the Rimmel Scandal'eyes Waterproof Kohl Eye-liners which I already have reviewed in a previous review if you missed it check it out here I reviewed 3 different shades in that post   

Seeing as I have reviewed these before I am not going to bore you all with a repeat post but I wanted to show you my new shade I have added to my collection :) 

Everyone in the Beauty industry or Beauty blogging world will agree it is very hard to find this type of shade in an eye-liner from any brand.  Plus even if a Brand does this shade there is a very limited amount sold and 9 times out of 10 its very hard to get your hands on it.  I am sure alot of you out there who are not as obsessed with make-up would wonder why there is even an eye-liner this shade.  Well let me tell you having a shade like this in your collection is a must especially if you work full time long hours or even if you are a very busy mum who is on the go all the time.  Since these eye liners came out I have been wanting to get my hands on this shade and it has been hard to do so until one day I was shopping on line on boots.ie and spotted it I was over the moon so much so I ordered two of them at €5.49 each you couldn't go wrong :)   

The Shade "nude" is a is a perfect eye brightener   It used to be that alot of people including myself would apply white to the waterline but to be honest i hated it as it was way to obvious on me and I just didnt like it where as with a nude shade its more natural and less obvious while your wearing it.  The nude shade is more like a skin tone shade and actually looks like a concealer.  when applied to the waterline it instantly makes you eyes look bigger and more wide open so even on your tired days applying this will instantly make you look like you have had 10 hours sleep.  Why wasn't this around when my twins was born and I was only getting an hour sleep a night for a year and half :( 

This eye-liner not only doesn't well on the waterline but can be used as an eye-shadow base.  It would also be a perfect matte brow highlight shade for anyone it medium to darker skin tones   I love this and recommend everyone to try it out :)  

In this photo I am wearing the liner in the waterline along with a darker shade on the lash line because i had a very bad nights sleep the night before due to dogs barking all night.  This instantly made me look more awake and ready of the day :) 

Here is another photo of before and after as you will see in the first picture I look like the death warmed up with lack of sleep but with a wash of this liner it instantly wakens me up :) 

Rimmel Scandal'eyes Waterproof Kohl Eye-liners are said to be the perfect dupe for Urban Decays 24/7 Eye-liners and I have to agree in my eyes there is no difference only in price tag :) 

Have you tried these yet?  

Until Next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sharing the Love #21: Interview with Karen from Lovely Girlie Bits

Hey My Beauties How are you all today :) 

I am so so excited to reveal our next guest in the share the love series :) 

I am sure you all know them especially if you are an Irish reader but its the one and only 

Karen from Lovely Girlie Bits.  She and her sister write an absolutely amazing blog which is one of my all time favourites plus they have started up a channel on YouTube in which I LOVE they are hilarious together I always watch their videos over and over when I need some cheering up or just want a good laugh and Karen is so funny they way she goes on Plus they do amazing detailed reviews and everything else beauty wise :) :) I love these girls to bits and so delighted they are part of my share the love series and guess what I have had the privilege of meeting both Karen and Joanne not once but twice :)  They are just as lovely in person :)  Ok I am rambling :) Here is my interview with the Lovely Karen :) 

1.  Hey Karen Welcome to my blog :) :) Can you tell us a little about yourself :) 

  I'm Karen, a thirty-something who loves all things beauty and has a dog Bailey who thinks he's a person.  He's me in doggy form, so basically a brat!  But I don't wee on the carpet in the spare room.

2.  Tell us a little about your blog 

The blog is mainly a beauty blog with a smidge of fashion!  I write like I'm my reader and write posts I'd want to read on a blog.  It's really important for me to get my personality across which can be hard in text, but most of the readers get me, so I'm happy out!

3.  What inspired you to start up your blog 

 I started the blog as a distraction from everything that was going on in my life at the time.  I figured I'd so much makeup and will never run out of anything to blog about and three years later, I'm still going strong!  It's a second job now really.  One I don't get paid for, but I absolutely love it and can't see myself stopping anytime soon!

4.  What is your dream job?

 I'd love to be able to blog full time.  That's my dream job in a nutshell.  Getting paid to do what you love is the dream!

5.  Can you share with us some of your favourite blogs to read ?

 I love reading lots of blogs and some of my favourites are Fluffandfripperies.com, Emeraldeyeliner.com, Totalmakeupaddict, bloodspot.ie, Cherrysuedointhedo.com and of course yours Nina!

6.  Your favorite skin care, hair care and makeup products?

I'm lucky that I get to try lots of fantastic products and I have to give a shout out to Origins Clean Energy Cleansing Oil, La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5, La Roche Posay Hydraphase Intense Mask, L'Oreal Mythic Hair Oil, Trevor Sorbie Smoothing Spray, Bourjois Rouge Shine lipsticks, Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder, Smashbox Eye Brightening Mascara.  I could go on, believe me!   

7   If you could give one piece of advice to someone who is thinking of starting up their own blog what would it be?

I could talk for Ireland on this!  But if I could just give one piece of advice, it would be to prepare to work hard.  When I started blogging, there were a handful of Irish beauty blogs and now there are hundreds.  This means that it can be hard to stand out in a crowd of girls who are all blogging about the same thing.  There are no shortcuts in becoming a successful blogger, well, no honest ones anyway, but if you plug away, write about what you have if you can't afford to buy new products and let your personality shine through, then there's no looking back!

8.  Can You tell us what is in you handbag?? (hehehe I like been nosey?  Include a picture ?

 My handbag is a holy mess right now.  I have actual handbag shame... I think if I took a photo of my house, it would have less than what's inside my bag!  And I wonder why I have a sore shoulder!  Ideally I'd like to carry just my wallet, sunglasses, little makeup bag and keys.  In fact I have everything ever made in it and really should clear it out or start bringing my carry on suitcase around with me!

9.  Where else apart from your blog can we find you aka twitter facebook etc. 

   I'm @lovelygirlybits on Twitter 
Blog is http://www.lovelygirliebits.com/
Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lovelygirliebitscom/142891099093615
 Instagram is @lovelygirliebits and I think that's it!
YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/user/Lovelygirliebits?feature=watch

10  Any last words for us :) 

 I just wanted to say thanks a million to Nina for having me do this interview!  I don't know how she does it with all the chiddlers and puts me to shame!  Her blog is my absolute favourite for swatches and the time she puts into each post really shows.  So if you're a new blogger, take some time and root around her blog!

Thanks Nina!

There you go make sure not to miss out on some amazing reviews and just amazing positive vibes from both these ladies you wont regret it :) I was even lucky enough to be asked to do a guest blog post on their blog about a month ago I was so delighted and if you missed it check it out here Its a Mac Lipstick Dupe and costs less than €5 ;)  

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Eyeshadows in "On and On Bronze" & "Pink Gold"

Well Hello There everyone :) :) 

I hope you are all well :) 

I am so sorry that I have been very slow with my reviews I have had a tough couple of weeks 

If you follow me on facebook you would know why :) 

Unfortunately we had noticed one of our pups Patch got very ill very quick and had to be rushed into doggy hospital where today he is still there but not only that a few days later our other pup Buster got sick with the same illness but didnt survive we had to decide to let him go to sleep :( it was so so sad and very draining sitting in front of a laptop I just didnt have the energy or the want to blog im sure alot of you understand. 

Today I feel a little more spirited and missed blogging so here I am :) :)

Today I am reviewing 2 brand new Maybelline 24HR Colour Tattoo eyeshadows that I have added to my collection.  Some of you already know I have quite a few of these in my collection :)  If you missed out on that review you can click here to see it I reviewed 10 of them altogether :) :) 

Today I have 2 more to share with you :) :) 

I absolutely Love the packaging on these eyeshadows.  They are solid glass with a lid that screw tight shut.  The fact that they do not get exposed until you open them means they do not dry out easily and are as good as new even a year later (thats how long I have my other ten shades).  Another thing I love about the packaging is the glass is clear which means you can easily detect the shades you want which saves time and effort lol 

I bought these two eyeshadows from Boots.ie in which they cost €7.49 each or at the moment they are 3 for 2 ;)  which in my eyes is absolutely amazing value for them :) :) 

If you have never heard of the Maybelline Colour Tattoo's before here is the low down to what they are 

Maybelline Claim :  Dare to wear Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel eyeshadow. With up to 24HR staying power. Popping colour that glides on. Get inked!

Our technology creates super -saturated shadow. Cream Gel smooth’s on for vibrant colour that does not fade.   

Out of the 10 shades I have reviewed before 8 of them surely lived up to the Claim I absolutely love them they are amazing.  The formula on the other 2 shades I hated as they were very hard to blend and would not settled on my lid no matter what I did with them.  So Let me show you my 2 new shades 

On and On Bronze:  When I first saw this shade on the site I thought Hmmmm Looks very very like Bad to the Bronze which is one of my absolute favourites of all time :) 

When I got this little beauty in my hands I just couldn't help but swatch it straight away to see was I right.  I was very close :)  There is a slight difference between them 

On and On Bronze is a strong metallic Bronze shade with a cool toned finish where as Bad to the Bronze is less metallic bronze and more on the slight frosty side and has a warmer finish. 

 To the eye of a non beauty obsessive a swatch of each beside each other would look the same but to us fabulous beauty lovers and MUA's we would see alot of difference between the 2 :)  Anyways I love this shade its stunning and very very pigmented indeed.  Its so pigmented you have to apply lightly and build it up as it dries very quickly if you apply alot in one go it will look chunky on your lid which does not look well at all :)   If you like Bad to the Bronze you will love this shade :) 

next up is 

Pink Gold:  Oh This shade is stunning believe me :)   I have used this shade quite a bit the past couple of weeks :)  I am just in love with this shade it really is amazing.  There is no guessing what this shades is the name speaks for itself.  Its a stunning light pinky shade with shimmers of gold going through it.  It gives a slight frosty finish and looks amazing on its own.  I use this quite alot as a base as it makes like pinky powder eyeshadows more intense looking.  Alot of people might actually used this as a blush.  What I found with this shade is that it makes my hazel eyes pop.  I have a mixture of green, blue and brown in my eyes but when wearing this on its own it draws out the green in my eyes more :)  LOVE IT :) 

Both eyeshadows are very creamy.  They blend out very easy and look amazing on their own :) 

I will show you a look I did using "Pink Gold" as a base for my eyes in this picture I used a generous amount of Pink Gold and applied the pink of Wet N Wilds "Sweet as Candy" on top 

These eyeshadows definitely last all day long I have put them to the 12 hour test but to be honest i think that is good enough for anyone because been realistic no one wears makeup for a full 24 hours :) 
Everyone should at least try one of these to see how fabulous. 
Have you tried these yet ?
Until Next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sharing the Love #20: Interview with Ashley from Cosmetic Eye

Hey My Beauties How are you all today :) :) 

Wow I cant believe I am at Share the Love #20 I cant believe How well this series is doing its brilliant and not only did you meet new people through this but I have too I love it :) :) :) 

Today I have Ashley from the Cosmetic Eye.  

I have Known Ashley through blogging for a long time now :)  She is a really lovely woman.  If you like to save money on cosmetics and are always looking out for reviews and deals Ashley is the woman for you :)  Here is here interview with me I hope you enjoy :) 

1.  Hey Ashley Welcome to my blog :) :) Can you tell us a little about yourself :) 

 Hi Nina thank you for this great opportunity I am so thankful. 
A little about me is I'm a almost 27 year young Mother of 2 beautiful children which are 6 and 4 and they are my everything. I am a Canadian but I live in Ireland now and have lived here for 6 and 1/2 years now. My husband is Irish and we meet, dated and married in Canada. (Long story) :)
I have a strong passion for makeup. I love buying, trying and talking about makeup. I would love to buy, try and review makeup for a living I truly love makeup. I love when people ask me for advise or any questions they have and it amazes me that they will trust my opinions on products. I love that feeling of helping people out. 

2.  Tell us a little about your blog 

Well the name of my blog is CosmeticEye because my husband says I truly have an eye for cosmetics and when we shop I always have to look at cosmetics. So yes my husband came up with the name for me. :) When I started my blog It was a hobby for me that when I had time I would write in it, but now my blog and youtube channel are still my hobby but even means more to me then I thought it would. I would love to keep going and help people out and truly I love to help people and talk to people around the world about cosmetics. I am not a makeup artist but I do have a strong passion in makeup and love knowing that I help people out and meeting great people through my blog and youtube channel. 

3.  What inspired you to start up your blog 

What inspired me to start my blog was the passion for makeup but also when I moved to Ireland I didn't know anyone and it was hard. I just had a baby only less then 2 months before we moved. I was 20 and married which is rare in Ireland. It was hard to get out there and make friends. I needed to find something I was into that could give me something to do. I needed a hobby, and it took me a while to get my blog going but after I was more settled in Ireland and got a okay camera I started to do my blog. I believe my blog has really helped me to feel more confident and I feel more stronger as a person. I was a little nervous that no one would like me and follow but my blog is growing and people do comment and that makes me so happy. 

4.  What is your dream job?

My dream job would have to be working with a makeup company, trying there items out and reviewing them. I would love to maybe one day have my own makeup brand or something like that. 

5.  Can you share with us some of your favourite blogs to read ?

Where to start I have so many blogs I love to read so okay I love of course Nina's blog,  Makeup by Dyna (http://www.makeupbydyna.com/) , Makeup by Saz (http://makeupbysaz.blogspot.co.uk/) , The Makeup Chair ( http://themakeupchair.blogspot.ie/), Dulce Candy (http://dulcecandy.com/) , Christine from Makeup, Beauty & Fashion ( http://christineiversen.blogspot.ie/),   
Those are a few that I love to read. 

6.  Your favorite skin care, hair care and makeup products?

-I am actually using Avon skincare still even though it left Ireland now. I am using there 25+ day and night cream got it just before they left Ireland and just started using it. :) 
-For my hair I am using Herbal Essence Shampoo for dry/damaged/frizz hair and then when out of the shower when my hair is still damp I use some Moroccan Argon Oil from Avon. 
-My favorite makeup right now, this is tough...... MUA right now but its back and forth with e.l.f. I am loving my FashionistA blushes right now as well which you can get on the MUA online site. 

7   If you could give one piece of advice to someone who is thinking of starting up their own blog what would it be?

I would just say if you want to start up a blog do it its so fun and rewarding.

8.  Can You tell us what is in you handbag?? (hehehe I like been nosey?  Include a picture ?

 Of course I have a pink sunglasses case which I also have hair elastics in as well. My wallet which has no money in it right now. :) I have my makeup bag which is pink with brown strips and has tweezers, EOS lip balm, Vasaline, whatever lipstick or gloss I am wearing that day, a mirror. I also carry my house and garage keys. 2 little Kleenex pack and my camera which isn't in the picture as I am using it to take the picture. Some days I have more in it like a grocery list and pens and lots of other items. I just cleaned out my bad 2 days ago so its not to fun it there at the moment. 
Here is the picture hope its okay.

9.  Where else apart from your blog can we find you aka twitter facebook etc.

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Peach on the Beach

Hello my beauties :) 

How are you all doing :) 

I am a sucker for lip products actually I am a sucker for all beauty products full stop but to be honest lip products and blushes are my favourite I just cant help myself like how many lip products and blushes does a girl really need in her life (lots when it comes to me anyways you should see my collection :O)  Anyways to be honest My first ever Lip Crayon was the ever so famous Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm Stains and I loved them that much I have 11 of them in my collection :)  Since then I have noticed quite a few brands coming out with Lip crayons etc with the same idea and too be honest I have tried a few and they never passed the test for me they never won over Revlon's beauties :) 

Today I bring you yet another Lip Crayon this time by Bourjois :)  I was more drawn to these because they almost look the same as the Revlon just bitten seriously the packaging couldnt be any different.  Now obviously I knew there would be one difference between the 2 and that would be that the Revlon Just Bitten is a stain which means long lasting colour but apart from that I wanted to see did it match up to my favourites :) 

Bourjois offers 4 different shades of their New Lip Crayons there are:
Red Sunrise
Fuchia Libre
Orange Punch and Peach on the Beach 
Each lip crayon costs €10.99/£7.99 or 3 for 2 ate the moment on Boots.ie which is not far off the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm Stains which are €11.20 or 2 for €15.   
The Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons were released in July of this year and I have already seen alot of reviews about them.  So I just had to try these out for myself and was a good girl by only picking one :) 
Bourjois claims A new generation formula that provides a bare lips sensation thanks to its sensory, light and non-sticky texture. With a silk extract formula, Colour Boost ensures comfort and hydration for 10 hours Does the Lip Crayon live up to its claims ??

I decided to choose Peach on the Beach because I was looking for a fun bright shade and that's exactly what I got "Peach on the Beach" is a gorgeous Peachy Pink shade and very bright :)  I was expecting this shade to be sheer but in fact its very very pigmented and suits my tanned skin very very well :)  One coat of this is perfect for everyday but you can build it up to what ever intensity you like :)  

Applying this Lip crayon is an absolute dream you could do it without having to look in the mirror.  Exactly like the Revlon Just bitten and feels extremely moisturising on the the lips.  When "Peach on the Beach is first applied you surely see the peachy pink shade on the lips for a while but after it wears off a little you see your lips colour change to a more pinky shade.  The balm is transferable even after a cup of tea most of the balm will transfer but your lips still feel extremely moisturised.  after about an hour of wearing this lip Crayon I noticed the balm was gone but it left behind a nice stain which was mostly pink at this stage.  

There is a slight scent from these Lip Crayons it puts me in mind of old lipsticks, its not strong but you still get a little sniffle of it.  I was pleasantly surprised by these and actually quite like them them.  I cant say they leave my lips moisturised for the full 10 hours but they surely leave them soft and moist for the most part of the day.  The stain it leaves behind is not strong but puts a lovely colour on the lips and lasts a good 5 hours before you see it complete disappear.  This is by far a fun, joyful and bright shade to wear in the summer or any-time of the year you want to be honest there is no rules to when you should wear bright colours is there :) ;) The Following Photos are taken with Flash :) The first Photo is straight after applying and the 2nd photo is about 4 hours after applying 

As you can see in the photo after 3 hours you can still see the stain and a nice glossy shine from the Lip Crayon :) Well done to Bourjois for creating yet another brilliant product and I will surely be going back to by another :) :)  Does it win over my love for the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balms??  Well put it this way they are very very close in fact there is not much difference at all in my eyes only that Bourjois is a little cheaper than Revlon which is always a bonus :) :)  Another Plus is that the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons have SPF 15 in them ;)
