Spotlight Sunday #15 Bourjois Flower Perfection Translucent Smoothing Primer

Hey Pretties!

While I was in China I purchased the Bourjois Flower Perfection Translucent Smoothing Primer, haul here. It was recommended to me by my lovely friend Brodie. This is a balmy primer that comes in a tiny tub that you use your fingers to apply to the face.

The Primer is really moisturising and works well at giving you a smooth base. When I was looking at the primer at the counter in China the girl put it on my hand and it made the little lines on hand seem to disappear, she spoke no English so I think that is what she was trying to tell me! I don't think it would work the same for wrinkles but I think for dehydrated skin it works wonders. I like to use this for special occasions because I don't want to waste it! I think it is a good staple to have in anyone's collection as it good at making the perfect base.

An issue I have with this Primer is the price! A little doesn't go a long way with this primer mainly because the tub it comes in is super small! I wish the tub was bigger! You can get the primer cheaper on Asos if you don't want to pay the silly price that Australian retailers charge! I don't use this primer everyday because I think it is too expensive for everyday!

Would I recommend this? Yes! Will I repurchase? Yes! I love it!

Top 13 Products of 2013

Hello lovelies,

Welcome to 2014! I thought I would share my favourite products of 2013! 

These are in no order whatsoever! I hope that we might have shared some of the same favourite products. 

1. Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - 01

If you have watch my video you would know this is my favourite concealer and I am pretty sure I only tried it for the first time in 2013. I am almost finished my second concealer and plan to repurchase soon! It is a full coverage concealer which I find works best for me. I would highly recommend. 

2. Maybelline Colour Tattoo Metal - Barely Branded 

I got my first colour tattoo once again in 2013 and now have three as they are amazing products. If I am wearing eye shadow there is a 90% chance I am wearing Barely Branded as it is a perfect neutral everyday colour. I will even wear it going out which you will see in my New Years Eve Get Ready With Me. Fast and simple product that still looks amazing. This can always be found on sale also so another bonus! 

3. Benefit Gimme Brow- Medium/Deep 

This product was only released late in the year but I adore it. I became more interested in styling my eyebrows in 2013 and this is definitely the best out of all the brow products I have tried. This makes doing your brows super easy and practically impossible to screw up! 

4. Essence Eyeshadow- 01 Chill Out

I mentioned during the year I have been looking for the perfect white eye shadow to highlight my inner corner with and this is the one! This is super cheap along with being awesome quality you can not ask for anything more than this one! 

5. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub 

I had super dry lips this year and this worked for me. Yes you can use brown sugar and olive oil but that is messy so this is simple and easy. It isn't expensive so there is no reason to not just buy a lip scrub. The smell is amazing and super yummy so it is makes you want to use it!

6. Bourjois Volume Glamour Max - 51 Noir Max
I got this mascara from the Priceline beauty bag in 2013, I am so glad I did as I had never looked at the Bourjois Mascara before. It is true to it's name and is very voluminous. The brush is really big and convex. Love, love, love this mascara.

7. Ralph Lauren, Ralph Fragrance
I love this fragrance it is a clean and crisp scent. I find that it is good for everyday and versatile. I have pretty run out but I do plan on repurchasing it again soon.

8. Essie Nailpolish
I slightly cheated with this one as I didn't pick a colour I picked the brand as a whole. Since priceline started selling Essie this year that is has become assessable us Australians. I love the Essie brand I only have three colours myself, but my house mate has a few also that are pretty too.

9. Hydraluron
I have already blogged about this so I don't think I have to say much about this product. I adore it and my skin is so grateful for having it in my life.

10. Frank Coffee Scrub
This has become super popular this year and it is understandable why. This is a rough scrub so if you body is sensitive than this isn't for you. This scrub targets cellulite and stretch marks which is something that is something I want to get rid of. If you love coffee you will love the smell of it!

11. Coles 4 in 1 Cleansing Wipes
These are the best budget makeup wipes! I think they are better than more expensive wipes. Seriously do yourself a favour and try them!

12. Antipodes Grapeseed Butter Cleanser
I love this cleanser and the review was my last post! I do plan to eventually repurchase this cleanser.

13. Sukin Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil 
This is amazing for your skin oil or dry! I am in love with this product it really did help me so much when I was on the skin medication.

bonus!

14. Organi Organic Honey Peel 
Okay so I miscounted lol! So this is the bonus product! Picking only 13 is hard! This is another product that I have already reviewed! I really enjoyed this peel as it left my skin feeling amazing afterwards. I am looking for a dupe of this product though as it expensive and while I am still working part time it is a bit out of my budget!

This is my Top Products of 2013! I really hope you had an amazing year and hope that you will stick around to read more of my posts in the future! Bring on 2014!!

Also if you want a review of any of the products let me know. :)

4th of October 2013- Amazing Eyeliner

I got a new eye liner for my birthday it was the Bourjois Liner Feutre Ultra Black 24 hr. I needed a new eye liner as my face of Australia one has almost run out. So excitedly I decided to test it’s claim of 24 hr by making a dash on my hand. You know what it lasted over 24 hours on my hand which included two baths and heaps of hand washing. I decided it passed the first test of lasting so I wore it cheer training. After tears and lots of rubbing of the eyes it remained looking almost the same as it had when I put it on. I did have panda eyes after the tears but with a wipe of a tissue they were all gone and my liner was looking amazing once more. I am sold this is my new favourite eye liner and I am so grateful for my friend getting it for me!

At first I found the felt tip slightly difficult to use as it is longer and skinnier than the Face Of Australia eye liner. However After using the liner more I find it easier to do a think line and my eye liner turns out more even.
