Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder

 

Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder - £6.99

 

When I first started getting into makeup a few years ago I remember everyone going bananas for this bronzer, it still is a very much talked about bronzer. Especially in terms of the drugstore/high street. It is of course the Bourjous Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder, although everyone on planet Earth seems to just call this the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer, it's just easier for all us lot who aren't so gifted with the French language.

 

I was completely engulfed by the hype around this product and went out and bought it. And I didn't even use it for months and months and months, it just lay forgotten about in my makeup stash. Firstly because I had bought the darker of the two colours avaliable, as you can see I have 52 and in hindsight I should've got 51, also back then I didn't understand how to apply bronzer and just what to do with this product at all. But now I know enough about makeup that I now use this product on a daily basis and i'm quite proud to say this is currently the one and only bronzer I have in my entire makeup stash! *pats self on the back*

 

 

The reason I haven't gone out and got any more is easily because I don't wear bronzer everyday and even in the summer I don't reach for it either, i'm just not a bronzer kind of gal. But I do use this product to contour my cheeks almost everyday. It is an almost matte bronzer, it has the smallest gold flecks in it which you can barely see and are not at all visable when you apply it so don't worry. I also love the chocolate bar look to this bronzer, I don't think it particularly smells like chocolate. It smells nice, just not a full on chocolate smell.

 

The cardboard packaging annoys some people, but it doesn't bother me at all. It probably would look better in a nice compact size packaging with a mirror, but i'm not fussed really. It looks good and the actual product works great and at the end of the day that's the whole point of the product itself isn't it.

 

I've been using this bronzer for almost 8 months now and that's how far i've got down it, if you look at the picture above, barely anything! I feel like this bronzer is going to last me forever! I've never actually see anyone finish an entire one of these. So it's great value for money from what I can see!

 

If you are looking for a cheap bronzer, or maybe your first ever bronzer like this one was for me, then i'd highly suggest you try it out.

My Christmas Day Makeup!

 

Well that's it, the big day has come and gone :( I hope you all had an amazing Christmas Day yesterday and are enjoying your Boxing Day! On Monday I posted about the China Glaze nail polish 'Glitter All the Way' which is what i've been wearing over Christmas, but I thought i'd share with you what make-up I wore on Christmas Day too.

 

As you can see it's an erray of products from the highstreet/drugstore to some high end products. I like to mix and match and it's nice to have some higher end products for such a special day in the year.

 

 

We'll start off with the base and work my way forward from there.

 

Bourjois Happy Light Illuminating Serum Primer - I've written a post about this primer (here) if you want to check it out. On Christmas Day I wanted my makeup to last all day and as this is currently the only face primer than I own I have to stick to this, but I do love it so it's all good.

 

Clinique Even Better Foundation - My favourite foundation to date, I just love the way it feels on my skin, good coverage and it lasts a long time too. It is on the higher end of makeup budgets as it's over £20 but it's worth it for me, definitely. I've yet to blog about this foundation but I will do in the New Year.

 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concelear - I really like this concelear, I use this under my eyes and it does a good job of covering up dark circles, which I did end up having as I woke up early to open my presents (yeah i'm still a big kid at heart).

 

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder - The only bronzer I own as i'm not the biggest fan of bronzers in general, but I use this to contour a bit and it works fine for me. I use this everyday in my makeup routine so I had to put this in.

 

Nars Luster Blush - One of my favourite blushes from this year, it's a beautiful orangey colour blush with gold shimmer and it's a nice subtle blush, I didn't want anything too bright on the cheeks as i'm wearing a strong red lipstick.

 

Rimmel Flash Eyeliner - This eyeliner is no longer avaliable, and it's actually the only felt tip eyeliner I own but I really like it. It's easy to use and it gives a nice strong black colour. For someone who doesn't really wear eyeliner at all, I have days where I want my eyes to pop and Christmas is one of those days.

 

Maybelline Colossal Mascara - To this day this is my favourite mascara that i've found, it gives a great volumising look to my lashes and also adds extra length to them. As it's my favourite mascara, I had to wear it on Christmas Day :)

 

Mac 'Russian Red' Lipstick - I have to wear a great red lipstick on Christmas Day, I go all out for this one and the only way to do that is go with Russian Red. One of Mac's best sellers and it really is the perfect red lipstick, it's a matte formula but it isn't too drying. I know i'll have to reapply this after eating my Christmas dinner, but apart from that it'll stay put all day!

 

 

Mac 'Brick' Lip Liner - With the intense red lipstick I need a good lip liner to make it look perfect, and that comes in the form of the Brick lip liner which is also by Mac. Brick and Russian Red go hand in hand, they're a perfect combination.

 

Urban Decay 'Half Baked' eyeshadow from the Naked Palette - If I want a gold eyeshadow then I automatically go for Half Baked. A beautiful gold colour and as it's Christmas i'm going for the whole gold and red theme with my make-up look. Amazing eyeshadow which will stay put all day.

 

Illamasqua Gleam 'Aurora' Highlighter - I've blogged about this (here). On this special day of the year every girl wants to look amazing and this Aurora highlighter by Illamasqua does the job for me. A gorgeous champagne cream highlighter which will just add the finishing touch to my makeup look.

 

 

I have yet to blog about a lot of these products but they will all be done very soon. And any I have blogged about already I have put links too.

 

What makeup did you wear on Christmas Day?

 

Merry Christmas!!!
