Bourjois Blusher (healthy mix 41)

A review on yet another blusher. I think I am obsessed with blushers. 



So last month I picked this little cutie up, I already had a cream blush from bourjois but I really didn't get on with it. So when i came across the powder blushers in boots I decided to give them ago. I have heard mixed reviews about bourjois blushers but I do like this blusher. I wouldn't place it over urban decay and mac blushers but for the price I really enjoy playing around with it. 

One of the main reasons I picked this blusher up is because it is in the colour 'healthy mix 41'. So since it is healthy mix i thought it will probably blend well since i use the foundation. It is a peachy but near enough natural cheek colour. I tend to apply this to my lower half of my cheek bone then add a slight touch of bronzer, mix it together and perfect autumn cheek colour! 

As you can see you get a brush with the blusher but it is a rounded shape to fit in the little pot. I tried applying the blusher with it but it is very awkward! I use my real techniques blush brush. I love this blush I love the point it goes into because it helps apply blusher very precisely. The only issue with using this blush brush is the pot is actually very small like hand bag/ travel size pot, which makes the brush slightly bigger than the pot (very annoying). I like the colour of this because I can wear this everyday without it looking over the top!

So top things about this product
- its pigmented and blends like a dream
- perfect everyday colour
- brilliant travel size

Totally worth spending the £7.99. It is a very high quality product.
I would recommend bourjois as a very good company I have loved all their products that I have tried and they are such a high quality company for a high street price!

Love

Dr Martens, fur lining

Last week I had a little shopping trip and my main aim was Christmas presents but also some winter boots since it is getting very cold in the UK now. When I walked into schuh the first things that caught my eye were fur lined dr Marten boots. I have never owned Dr Marten boots before but these just looked wonderful. I tried them on and they were extra comfy and cosy.


So I have chosen to wear them with the flap slightly down so you can see the fur but you could also wear them curled down all the way round the top, although i feel it would make a crease in the leather. So I have only laced them up to the 6th hole so i can fold the tongues over slightly.  As you can see I am wearing these with jeans but I would probably wear tights with these boots as well. So since these are Dr Martens they are  cartegena leather it makes them feel extra soft and gives them a very smooth finish. I would totally recommend this brand to anyone. The leather feels amazing and I will last a very long time if you look after them.
