GUINEA PIG:: Little Miss Bookworm

so sorry i haven't been updating, i've been so busy with work etc!

i've got loads of posts planned and lots to show you guys, eeeee! ^^

i recently reviewed one of Bourjois' eyeshadow trios 

and we all know i absolutely loved it to bits!!

so i decided to experiment with it on my little sister, chantel,

who was secretly very happy to volunteer (no really, she was!) ;p

i used the same Bourjois palette (03) for her eyes -

the lightest shade for the inner corners of her eyes and brow bone,

the darkest shade on the outer third of her eye and her lower lash line,

and the medium shade to blend the colours together in the centre :)

i also used Collection 2000's Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner to line her eyes

and Barry M's chunky eyeliner for her lower lash line!

chantel's face becomes oily relatively quickly so i went over 

the lower lash line (not her water line!) with the felt tip liner to avoid smudging.

and for mascara, we chose Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara in Black

which works great for her lashes but not so much for mine

(dry textures work better on my lashes)

to finish, i brushed a little bronzer and blush onto her cheeks :)

and we added a little bit of drama to her eyes with some falsies!

she actually loved them and ended up buying some the next morning ;p

enjoy!

BOURJOIS:: Smoky Eyes Trio (Mordoré Chic 03)

i got this a few weeks ago and i absolutely love it!

i love it so much that i use it on a daily basis now ^^

the eye shadow stays on all day and you don't need a lot of it -

a little definitely goes a long way with this little beauty!

i got the Mordoré Chic 03 trio (third one in the photo above)

so there's a light shimmery beige colour, a gold and a shimmery dark brown.

i don't need to gather a lot on my brush to see the results

and the product lasts all day - even without primer!

which is amazing because i don't usually use primer (pure laziness)

and i can get quite busy throughout the day so i don't have time to reapply :)

the packaging is absolutely adorable!

it's a small circular pot which is slightly smaller than my palm

so it's extremely convenient and doesn't take up a lot of space in my clutch.

they also provide you with a small applicator on the side

so if you bring this with you on a night out, then you can reapply with that

(rather than using your fingers or having to bring a brush)

they also have instructions on the back for a basic smokey eye look

which is incredibly helpful for newbies :)

you don't have to follow their instructions, it's just a guideline -

i use mine in a completely different way which is fine.

i use the lightest shade on my tear ducts and the inner third of my eyes,

the darkest shade on the outer third and the medium shade in the centre

to blend away any harsh edges and because the gold looks stunning!

and i also apply the lightest shade on my brow bone..

overall, i would definitelyi (100%!) recommend this product

as the eye shadows are pigmented enough to give a beautiful smokey eye look

and it is very, very convenient to have with you on any occasion!

i think i paid about £6 for this too so it was definitely worth it! ^^

pros:

long lasting

small packaging

extra applicator

instructions for newbies

and no cons for this amazing product! :o
