What I've Been Loving - Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops

The Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops do exactly what it says on the tin to put it across simply. The nail drops are designed to be used after you have applied your polish and your top coat to speed up the nail drying process. 

You use the pipette to apply the tiniest amount of this best described as 'oil' to your nails. Best applied to the center of your nails and then it spreads out to cover the whole thing. You then leave it for around a minute and then voila your nails are dry. I find that rubbing the 'oil' in works the best and nourishes your cuticles at the same time. 

This is just one of the many things from Bourjois that makes painting nails fun and exciting! If you have no patience to wait for your nails to dry then try these nail drops and you will wish you'd discovered them earlier! 

Available at Boots for £5.99

Bourjois Aqua Blush Review & Swatches

When a 'drugstore' brand release something new, I am usually an eager beaver and jump to the chance of trying the new product out. But this time it was different with the Bourjois Aqua Blushes, I didn't really fancy them and then the other week I was browsing Boots.com as you do and they magically appeared in my basket. Oops. After testing them out for a few weeks I thought of sharing my thoughts and swatches of the two that I have.

About the Aqua Blushes

> Four Shades in Total - inge-nude, cocoricorail, pink twice & berry nice

> Price - £8.99

> Sheer Fresh Colour

> Water-light and Gel Texture

> Wear time 12 Hours

My Thoughts

It is recommended my Bourjois that you take small amount of the blush using your finger and then tap it on to your cheeks to spread the colour out. The blush blends out amazing, and a few little taps and it will spread over your cheeks. 

I've always been scared of using liquid/cream blushes in case they look awful on my face but these have been really easy to use, and the light-weight formula makes it easier and allows you to build up the colour gradually. It didn't turn patchy as the day went on, it just disappeared within a few hours not 12 hours! This meant I had to re-apply which was a big faff, maybe because it is a gel formula and not really cream which is meant to last longer.

Currently, I am using these with my fingers but I think I need to invest in a stippling brush as this will help with the application. p.s they smell amazing!

Overall

I'm over the moon with this range of blushes from Bourjois, they are really pretty colours and my favourite shade of the two is --- because it looks natural on the skin and gives you face a fresh glow. I took them away with me and found it lasted longer than normal blush, but don't think in the winter they would be great with my dry skin.

What I've Been Loving - Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream

Finding a base that is lightweight yet gives you coverage is hard, I used to love the L'Oreal True Match but it is now clinging to the dry patches. I decided to try something new, a very old product but like always I am late on the bandwagon it's the Bourjois 123 Perfect Colour Correcting Cream. I would have never even thought of trying this if it wasn't for Emily (aka EmilyLoula, make sure you check her out!). She has a special power that persuades me to buy things and when I saw her tweet about it, I asked it if it was worth it and she loves it - an hour later I went for it!

I went with the shade Rose Beige which is the second to last darkest shade, it is the perfect match for my skin, the swatch looks really light but once rubbed in it is exact! The main thing that makes this CC Cream different to anything else is the 3 different pigments:

> APRICOT pigments > anti-fatigue

> GREEN pigments > anti-redness

> WHITE pigments > anti-dark spots

Upon my first application I noticed that it had in fact cancelled out my redness and dark spots which is just amazing as nothing but concealer usually does that. The CC Cream is very light weight, and with only one even layer I was more than happy with the coverage, it can be built up for a fuller coverage but I don't think there is no need. 

The only that bothers me is the scent, it smells like there is perfume in there but my skin hasn't reacted to it which is very surprising in deed! SPF is only 15 not making it ideal for holiday or to wear in the sun unless you wear a extra SPF underneath. 

Would I buy this again? For Sure! It is the best light base I have tried that works on my skin and it looks like Bourjois is becoming my new favourite brand...Have you tried this CC Cream?

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover|| Review+Demo

This Magic Nail Polish Remover has been a favourite of many people for quite some time now, and I didn't really know what all the hype was about until now. This thing is amazing, and has changed the way I now remove my nail polish. You have all probably heard what it does and why it is so great, so I will just tell you briefly. Basically, all you have to do is put your finger inside the bottle, wiggle it around and then magically it takes off any polish you have on your nails! 

The sponge inside is soaked with remover, so you don't have to go through a million cotton pads when removing nail polish. I find that it doesn't work as well for glitter, even though it does help slightly with the removal. 

Here are the before and after shots! You can see that all the polish has been removed from my fingers and it took me less than five minutes in total! Amazing!

Latest In Beauty - Ultimate Summer Nails Box ♥

Latest In Beauty - Ultimate Summer Nails Box

A few months back now Latest In Beauty teamed up with You Magazine to come up with an amazing beauty box that had all things nails in it! They are £14.95 and available to buy online, I somehow missed the first LIB email about the box so I signed up for the reservation list and a few days later the box appeared through my door! This box is only priced at £15 and the stuff inside adds up to £50! that is amazing! and this box will be your best friend this summer! This is also my very first beauty box and I am in love!

The first thing I was really excited about is the 'Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover 'and I have been wanting to purchase this for so long, but I it is sold out everywhere! This is perfect if you are like me and get bored of your nail colours and if you're on the go you just dip, twist and it is clean! 

And the next product, is a butter london polish that get raved about so much, I couldn't wait to get my little hand on one! And finally I have this one in 'yummy mummy' this name makes me giggle, and the colour is beyond amazing! I love nude colours for the summer and this is such a lovely colour and with two coats looks amazing! 

Next up is this 'Rituals Nail Polish Corrector Pen' and I have very mixed thoughts about this, only because I used to have one of these and it failed on me, hopefully this will change my thoughts and do it's job. This is great though for when you are in a rush and need a quick fix, plus I always smudge and ruin my nails so this will hopefully be my god send. 

I love using and collecting nail files and this one from 'The Vintage Cosmetics Company' is such a lovely pattern and I can add it to my growing set of nail files. This is currently in my handbag because of how pretty it is!

These 'Essie Sleek Stickers in So Haute' look so exciting! I love nail wraps and am currently loving nails with patterns on, and these ones from essie look easy to apply even though wraps can be very fiddly! I love essie and hopefully will love these as well! 

Everyone needs a hand cream when they have finished their nails! and this 'L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream' smells amazing! I love that this is full size as I have used up the mini one I got a the clothes show, it smells amazing and leaves your hand smooth and smelly fresh!

How cute are these mini nail polishes! They are so adorable and I love nails inc and these two polishes are amazing! On the left is I'Notting Hil Gate' which is a great vibrant pink colour for the summer time and looks so pretty with the butter london polish. And on the right is the 'Kensington Caviar Top Coat' which I have been wanting to try forever and ever due to meaning to give you that glossy gel like finish. 

This box is amazing, and for only £15! But I am afraid that the box has gone again, I would still sign up to Latest In Beauty because they have some other amazing boxes!
