Favourite Everyday Lipsticks

Hey guys,

Im currently obsessed with lipstick so i put together a quick list of my favourite lipsticks that i reach for on a daily basis. I was trying to narrow it down to a list of 10 but i managed to get as close as 11 which i think is a good effort !


From left to right: Revlon Colourstay in Soft nude, Australis Colour Inject Mineral in Jive, MAC Blankety, Bourjois Doctuer Glamour in Rose Retabli, NYX Rea


Left to right: NYX Strawberry Milk, MAC Viva Glam Gaga, Rimmel Pink Fame, Rimmel Kiss Me, Australis Colour Inject Mineral in Salsa, Australis Colour Inject Mineral in Flamenco



I dont know why but this picture is keeps uploading upside down so ive listed them all in order above, but the names will now go from back to front, so you can match the swatch to the above names by listing them in reverse. Im sure you smart cookies get what i mean :)


Much love,
Suzie xxx


let me know your fave lippies for daily wear xx

Bourjois Eyeshadow

Hey guys,

As i was shopping the other day, i tried to stay clear of the makeup section, trying to save some extra holiday cash but i couldnt help myself but to quickly have a look around for the perfect lilac/lavender/purple eyeshadow. Ive been looking for one for a while and none of them that i have purchased have been the perfect tone of purple until i found the Bourjois individual baked eyeshadow range, which i never knew actually existed because ive always thought that Bourjois is over priced. However when i saw this pretty colour i just had to get my hot little hands on it ! I got the shadow in number 72- ombre a paupieres.

When i got home i started to play around with it and i realised that the $28 price tag which was attached to it, did not necessarily mean super pigmentation or staying power. The first swipe of my finger across the shadow barely picked up anything and i had to really rub my finger in it to pick up some colour. So then i tried to use the shadow wet by slightly dampening a brush and then applying it onto my lid and that just caused it to crumble off and fall into my eye. I tried again with a primer first and then some shadow but even that didnt really work.

Ive come to the conclusion that im officially done with the Bourjois eyeshadow range, and im a little uoset that this pretty colour will be pushed to the back of the eyeshadow drawer because its really not a good shadow. Ive never tried the other eyeshadows by the same brand, maybe its just the baked ones that proved to be a dud ?!







Let me know your thoughts on these if you have tried them..
