Saturday Swatches: MUA Academy Coloured Mascaras
This week I’m loving…
*Bourjois Bronzing BB Cream. When I saw the new bronzing range from Bourjois I was dying to try a few products. The Bourjois Bronzing BB Cream looks seriously scary and intimidating for us girls with fair skin, sadly this Bronzing BB Cream was too dark on its own…. BUT it works amazing as a gel bronzer, I love to mix a little in with a foundation that’s a little light for me and it gives a gorgeous bronze glow, it also looks amazing buffed in with a natural hair brush as a bronzer (I like to buff it in a three motion, around the hairline, temples, under the cheekbones, around the jawline and underneath the chin) it also looks really beautiful when mixed in with a little body lotion to give an allover glow. Next I’m dying to try the Bronzing Primer!
This week I’m not loving…
Goody Quik Style Brush. When I saw this a few years ago I wanted it straight away but had completely forgotten about it since they were impossible to purchase in Australia. When I saw these brushes at Ulta I had to snag one up straight away and I should of known better. If this product isn’t a gimmick then I don’t know what is. It is a fantastic idea in theory but I didn’t find it dried my hair any quicker than usual, plus it started to smell a little musty after a while and the microfiber “bristles” were always moving around and sticking out of the place. I think this is an overpriced gimmick and I’ll be sticking to my regular paddle brush from now on.
