Budget Buys To Love

You can't beat the drugstore, I think so many brands have some brilliant products to offer and recently on one of my many browses of the aisles of Superdrug and Boots I picked up a fair few products I'm loving. Two of these products are these, the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade Hot Pepper and the Maybelline 24Hr Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze (late on the bandwagon with that one I know).

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet: Something I've seen a fair few posts on and something I just couldn't stay away from any longer, I'm finally starting to steer out of my comfort zone with lip products and try out the reds, dark and plumy to bright and bold I'm working my way through them all and this one from Bourjois made it's way into my basket. It's certainly the brightest red I've ever tried and it's safe to say I really like it. the formula is fab, it glides onto the lip easy and dries matte (doesn't cling to those dry patches) I'd say the velvet claim in the name is true. Lasting power? It's okay... I certainly had to touch up during the day and after meals it had worn away a fair bit. It also has a smell about it, I can't describe it, I can't say I like the smell either but if you can look past that its a fab lippy for the price and one i keep reaching for!

Maybelline 24Hr Colour Tattoo: Late on the bandwagon with these much! It seems like everyone and their nan has had one of these before me and I really don't know why it's taken me so long to pick one up. Don't get me wrong, I've looked at these many times, like more than I should but every time something has stopped me putting one in my basket, why? I don't know and I'm kicking myself for not trying one of these sooner! I picked up On and On Bronze and my oh my do I like it! The colour is so pigmented and the lasting power is fabulous. I like to apply this with my finger and then blend into the crease with my mac 217. It's creates an effortless bronzed eye look and I really like it paired with the Bourjois lip. It's not too heavy and allows the focus to be on the bold lip.
