Superdrug have certainly got us working this year, the latest challenge was to create two unique Summer Looks using the amazing Bourjois and Rimmel and post.

Bourjois range was perfect, to create that perfect evening summer’s look.

FACE

With a bare face, I moisturised my face, with a face lotion perfect for combination skin.  When the moisturiser was well soaked up, I applied the healthy mix foundation which promises to last up to 16 hours, giving you perfectly glowing complexion and toned skin which includes fruit therapy which is radiance boosting.  As its the summer, I really wanted to keep the foundation light, so I applied with my finger tips.  I found it absorbed into my skin really quickly, although light for my skin tone, it gave me a really good base.

CHEEKS

Bourjois makeup is like candy, it smells absolutely delicious….The Bronzing Powder is just one of them items that looks like a mini chocolate slab. Its really compact, and is really handy to throw into your bag (and it wont make a mess).  It gives an immediate boost to your complexion,  I just applied it with a brush over my face for an even finish, giving that skin that sun kissed look!  It was perfect complement to the foundation, as I was able to match the tone to my skin more effectively.

I’ve never used Bourjois blusher before, but the packaging is really neat, comes with its only mini brush and mirror set.  I just added this colour to the top of my cheek bones to give me some colour and to really enhance those eyes more! The colour was rose, and it really complemented the sun kissed look. I love it so much, I kept this cheek look for daytime as well.

EYES

Eyeshadow was the ultra stretchable colour in Violet profound – this was used all over my eyelid, and doubled up to make it more dramatic on the outer corner of my eyes.  The brush could have been la bit larger, but the colour was intense and stayed on throughout the evening!

Liner Feautre Noir Felt-tip eyeliner was a real winner, allowing you to draw a line as thick or as thin as you want. I think eyeliner really is the finishing touch to dramatic eyes.

Mascara – Elastic in black, supposed to give 130% more visible length, I wasn’t sure whether it was the liner…but my eyelashes certainly seemed longer, and my daughter asking if I had put spiders on them.!

LIPS

Lipstick- Framboise Exquise was not a colour I usually go for, the texture felt too creamy, I tend to only use matt, however once I introduced 3D effect  lipgloss..they soon plumped up, and in the end it really drew more attention to the eyes.

NAILS

I opted for the thick chocolate/burgundy (So Laque) ultra shine.   I applied a usual undercoat, and then two layers of the So Laque, finished off with an overcoat.  I loved this vamp look, but was disappointed by the end of the night I had chipped nails, not very good.

FEEDBACK

People loved my look, they said the balance of the softer lips, and the dramatic eyes really complemented each other. Everyone thought I looked really healthy, with a nice glow…overall I give Bourjois 9/10 for staying power, packaging, and smell.
