Stila smudge pots:A review:D

ok...so i haven't written anything in a while because i've just started school two weeks ago and i've been in a continuous rush since then and i literally could not find time to write.i'm so sorry i have abandoned my eight followers :)) i promise i'll be better in the future.

well then on with the review :)


I have recently purchased three of stila 's smudge pots ( black ,bronze,gray).Where I live i can only get Stila at Sephora and the prices there are twice as big as on the site and i can't purchase online as i do not have a card :.So i saw they were having a sort of discount so i rushed in there and got myself these three.They all came in a package together so i paid the price for three little ones ( cause they are quite little ,like half the size of the original jar )wich would equivalate the price of a full sized smudge pot.

I have never had liners in this form ( gel liner) so i didn't know if i was gonna like it so i thought i would try these from stila cause benefit creaseless blah blah blah was way too expensive and i can't get my hands on mac :('

I'm so glad i decided to buy them cause'i completely adore them :X

Although I did use them as liners in the first couple of days i now find myself reaching out for them as a base for smokey eyes ;) they're great i tell you.

What more can I say ..love ,love,absolutely love !
They keep my eyeshadow in place ,no creasing and it makes the colours i put on top pop more.

All in all i'm very happy with my purchase :D

Hope you're having a great week,
xoxo,
B


p.s. here's a picture of a look i did the other day with the bronze and the black.




p.s.2 :))my next smudge pot is going to be pomegranate.Soooo pretty :X

When in doubt.....do a review:D

So...inspiration came pretty quickly :) i was just on my laptop trying to decide what my real first post should be about and then it hit me ..what am I most obsessed with?The answer :foundation !

So I just grabbed my Revlon Colorstay and I was about to start writing when I realised that I don't really have anything new to add to the reviews circulating on the web.
People don't want me telling them something they already know.


On to the actual review cause'if I don't stop rambling now I shall never end:



The spotlight tonight is on BOURJOIS'10 hour sleep effect foundation(in rose72).





My initial thought was ''oh there's got to be a proper review on it on youtube.''you see youtube is for me what santa is for little kids : you just tell him what you want and he gets it for you:)) anyway i searched and there was nothing.so i decided to do one of my own.

Here it goes !

First impression :yuuuuuck:( why on earth did I ever buy this?My reason ? I was used to a matte finish from my foundations so i first hated this product that actually turned out to be pretty good .

Finish:It has a gorgeous dewy finish and it just makes your skin glow in all the right places like the top of your cheekbone , on your brow bone etc.But when you put powder over it all the magic is gone so what I would reccommend is to powder only your T-zone if you want to keep the sheen:)

Coverage : i would say it's more of a light to medium but it's definitely buildable.

Staying-power:unfortunately not so good .this is really the only downside to this :( it literally lasts about 3-4 hours on the skin and after that you can't really tell you had foundation on.so scoring low points for this one.

I also wanna' say that this is the easiest foundation to blend ever and i think that's what makes the coverage so buildable.

All in all I think this is a great foundation.definitely would repurchase . i would give it a 9 out of 10 just because of the staying-power but you know what they say:you can't have it all now can you!

Hope you didn't find this post excruciatingly long and really hope this helped someone out there:)

XoXo,

B
