Bourjois Color Boost Lipstick

Everyone has been raving about these Color Boosts so I picked one up when I went to Boots a few weeks back. A lot of drugstore brands are now bringing these lipsticks out and I'm assuming they're modelled on Clinique Chubby Sticks as the packaging is very similar. One of the Clinique ones is sold every few minutes or something crazy like that, amazing when you think of it!! 

The colour of the packaging mimics the colour of the lipstick inside so mine is a peach colour as I bought 'Peach on the Beach'. It apparently lasts 10 hours which I don't think is necessary although I won't find out if it lasts that long as I'm constantly nibbling my lips and licking them! They do contain an SPF of 15 which is good for holidays etc as I like to have something pretty on my lips while I'm out and about in the sun. 

The colour pay off is good, I only need a few swipes of it across my lips to achieve the colour I want. I will probably only continue wearing it while the sun is still out as it's a summery colour and I tend to wear reds or darker colours in winter. 

Evening Out makeup(races)

Hi guys! So I mentioned in a previous post that I was going horse racing in Newmarket and said I might post a few photos of my makeup/outfit, so here they are... :)

Sorry for the awful photos, I am in no way photogenic! 

Makeup- I wore Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer, Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation NW25, Mac NW20 Studio Finish Concealer, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder on my t-zone, Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Powder on the rest of my face, Bourjois Poudre Bronzante to contour slightly, Nars Orgasm Blush. 

Eyes- Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer, Vanilla and Shroom under brows as a highlight and inner corner of my eyes, Omega across my eyelids and into crease, Woodwinked on outer corners and blended into crease, Charcoal Brown smudged from lash line and winged out into crease, Carbon along lash line as a liner, Charcoal Brown used to fill in my eyebrows. I then curled my lashes and applied L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara. (All eyeshadows are Mac). 

I then applied Mac Riri Woo lipstick all over my lips. This is a gorgeous matte red that suits most skintones. 

Brushes used- 

Real Techniques- Buffing Brush, Deluxe Crease Brush, Powder Brush, Contour Brush, Pointed Foundation Brush, Base Shadow Brush. 

Mac- 266 angled brush for brows and lash line, 316 lip brush. 

Daniel Sandler Blending Brush. 

Outfit- My dress is from Missguided and so is the belt, my bag is from Dorothy Perkins years ago and my sunglasses are £3 from Tesco! 

If any of you are thinking of going racing, it's such a good day/night out! We usually go when there is a band playing in the evening but they do all sorts of different entertainment. 

Mac 'Lovelorn' Lipstick

I am a massive Mac makeup fan, I think it's either a love it or a 'not bothered' makeup brand... I love it! I know their items are a lot more expensive than drugstore brands but I am a sucker for good advertising and packaging. I don't use everything in their range ( I use Rimmel powder, Bourjois bronzer and a mixture of everything else) but I stick to their eyeshadows, foundations and lipsticks. This lipstick is my current favourite, it's described as a lustre lipstick which suits me very well as I suffer with dry lips so I can't really get away with matte lipsticks. The packaging is, as you probably know, black with the mac logo around the lid. The colour is a gorgeous pink, quite warm as opposed to a blue-pink, and goes on lovely and creamy. Lipsticks in general don't last very long on me as I'm constantly touching my lips or chewing them etc so I'm forever buying new ones! Mac lipsticks cost £14 each, which I suppose isn't very good value for money and I could probably find an identical cheaper one in a drugstore but its hard to break the mac habit!
