What it claims: This bright and beautiful lipstick is a Luxurious Blend of Natural Waxes Color Rich Pigment, Creamy, Soft and Nourishing. The ingredients do not include any animal by products making. This a vegan lipstick

Pro's

• Smells really fruity
• Completely vegan
• Really soft on the lips
• Beautiful packaging

Con's

• Not as pigmented as I thought to believe
• Feels a little oily

Okay, before we get into the con's of this product, how adorable is the packaging? There's a rose on top of the lid which looks so pretty and the box it comes in has a sword on one side and a torso and head of a woman on the other all in negative colours. Inside the box is a very bright pink with the colour and name of the product situated on the top of the packaging. By far, this packaging is the best I've seen in regards to any lipstick. It's beautiful. 

The lipstick itself smells really fruity and I can not place the smell, but it's sort of orangey, but either way, the smell of fruit is gorgeous. It's very soft on the lips but you do have to apply it a few times to get a brighter red. It feels a little oily but not as much as the miss sporty red I have reviewed before. It's not very pigmented which is a little let down but if you apply it a few times it does come out much better.

Would I recommend: Yes! I love the product. I think for the price (in the US - it's very expensive for it to be shipped from the US as it cost me just over £13) it's very good at $12 which is around £7 for everyone in the UK. The consistency of the lipstick is very good besides the fact it is slightly oily. Pigmentation is a little bit of a problem as its not too bright but I would still defiantly recommend buying this product. I hope to try their eye-shadows and other lipsticks in the future.

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder Medium/Dark

What it claims: The ultra fine and soft texture of Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder makes it easy to apply to your face and decolletage. The result is a totally natural, healthy, bronzed glow. Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder , with flecks of gold and infused with a sweet chocolate fragrance, you will smell as gorgeous as you look!

Price: £7.99

My experience: I used this product after applying my foundation. I used my models own brush and used this product for contouring. It was very easy to get this product onto my brush unlike their blush which I reviewed. I found it very easy to build this product up as I am not very confident with using bronzer, but I found I can easily start of using a little bit and apply more if needed.

Pro's

• Build-able
• Smells really nice
• Fells nice on the skin
• Easy to use/apply
• Great for people who are learning how to contour their face

Con's

• A little pricey

Would I recommend: Yes. This is a fantastic product. Easily build-able and very easy to apply. It also smells like chocolate which is always a plus point in my view. If you want to have a more natural look, this bronzer is perfect for this, as well as being perfect for a more dramatic look. Absolutely fantastic and I will be buying this again in the future. I think the only downside to this product is the price. I have used another drug store bronzer before which was miss sporty and it was very much like this one but half the cost. I do prefer this one however, but think it would be better if it was more towards the £6-£7 range rather than a penny under £8.

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher

What is claims: The baked texture transforms when applied to the skin into an ultra-fine pressed powder, which is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of the rose scented powder.

Price: £7.99

My shade: 34 (rose d'or)

My experience: I used this product after putting on my foundation (maybelline fit me foundation) and my concealer. I applied this product with my models own make up brush which I also use for contouring. I found it very VERY hard to get any of this product on the brush. No matter how hard I tried, it just refused to budge. I found the product itself rather rock solid so I used the top of my brush handle to scrape a little of this product (to loosen it so I could actually get something on my brush. I found this product very light and did not look nice what so ever. You have to build up this product for it to make any impact.

Pro's

• Smells really nice
• Handy case with mirror inside the lid

Con's

• Hard to apply
• Hard to get any product onto a make-up brush
• Colour far too light

Would I recommend: No. This product is terrible. Although it smells really nice, its very hard to get any of this product onto a make up brush without having to physically scrape it. It does smell rather nice - just like the bronzer, but it is definitely not one I will be buying again. The mirror inside the product case is handy but again, this does not make it worth £7.99.
