Bourjois Volume Clubbing Black Jack Mascara £7.99

So! Recently because of my job, I was lucky enough to get my hands on this little gem! I bought this the day it came in and I'm so glad I did! Opening up the silly box it came in I was amazed when these fell into my lap. At first, I loved the packaging, now... I'm not too sure. I always love new stuff because well.. it looks new. Bourjois are doing this whole blackjack theme right now with gold packaging. They have their chocolate bronzers which are turning blackjack (I hope only temp - I love those!) they have glitter body sprays in this range and of course, this mascara! I've been wanting to try the clubbing mascaras for a while but I've always been distracted by others so when this came in, it was mine!! My lashes are long and curly, so I only desire volume really and this does just that.

So the brush is like the other clubbing brushes, its a natural bristle one as opposed to plastic comb ones and its kinda only got bristles on the top and bottom which is good as it doesn't make the brush too big and difficult to work with as it allows you to build up the volume, hurrah!

Each time I use this I compare it to my volmume max also by bourjois which is just amazing and I would buy that over any mascara anyday, so what makes this mascara so special?

it's just a black mascara right?

view fullsided to see the glitter <3

No!! It's got itty bitty gold glitter in!! This sold it to me. I adore anything glittery so the fact I could have subtly glittery eyelashes which are also black and voluminous, perfect!!

Now there are no photos of this on as my camera isn't very good for close ups so sorry about that folks but it does make my eyelashes glittery! not as much as i hoped and somedays you see more than others, but its there!!!! It's such a great idea and does just add that little bit more sparkle into your everyday eye makeup!

I really rate this mascara, I wish the packaging was slightly classier or maybe just a bit more colourful but if thats all that is wrong with a product then thats okay with me! Of course I wished this was a bit more glittery but I realise not everyone likes glitter quite as much as I do, so I believe i'm just the exception to the rule.

So tell me! Are you excited about this, will you be getting it when it comes out. Bourjois is amazing am I right?

Anyhoos, ta ta!

Presents!!

So this is what I got today in the post, I got them all on great deals online so i'm super excited!!
I'll start with what I got my friend Liz for her 22nd birthday on 5th November, I know! so prepared!!
What I'm planning to do is just get lots of little things for her to play with and get her excited about make up, I couldnt think of one thing to ger her so it seems perfect! I want to put them all together in a sweet box. The great thing is that it will all be affordable and hopefully everything that she will use!!
So i'll begin!

These are false lashes which give such a lovely natural but dramatic look, i got these from work for a couple pounds but i got a few packets and i could not put them on, but she's quite good at putting on lashes, she does it all the time, so hopefully she'll like these!

This I got online (RRP £5.99!) and it looked more pink shimmer but when it arrived it's more cherry shimmer, still lovely though I really want it!!


I knew she used the purple false lash of this range so I originally got her that but she was round the other night and I saw it in her bag with a yellow lid, when asked about it she said the purple one was rubbish so she swapped the brush with her old collosal one, i was like eeek! so I went back and exchanged it! luckily it's in packaging! this cost like £5 with my store discount!
Next is this! I'm so excited about them!


Benefit Shimmer Shakers! At work I saw these and thought they were just regular shimmer pots with an expensive name, thus expensive price tag, but I got these for a reduced price rather than the £27 before and oh gosh I love them!
Here are the colours;

They're so lovely, I swatched some on my hands (just a tiny bit as it's a gift) and even a tiny bit did loads! they're so pigmented and the glitter is noticable but without being overbearing!

I adore them!!!

This cost me like £10 back at christmas time, I smelt it once at work and liked it so when I saw this going for cheap I bought it for myself, but i just never used it! So luckily it was still in the box so she can get much more use from it than me!

So thats what I've got her for her birthday, last year I got her a digital camera so this year is nothing compaired!

Next on with Christmas presents! I know! So prepared ;D!!

I also got these for a great deal online,

They cost me like £8.50 each for 100ml ! AMAZING. I originally wanted to get Liz this (fairy dust) 50ml which was going for £10 and Jaz Britney Spears Curious 50ml for £10 thus spending £20 all together, but 2 days with them in my basket waiting for payday, i returned to the site and the prices had changed, curious was up to like £15 and the 50ml fairy dust was £10! So i'd be spending much more than I wanted so I thought "hmm i'll just buy two fairy dusts for £20 together" then when I clicked on the fairy dust it said "more like this" and the 100ml was £8.50... cheaper than the 50ml! So I ordered two :)
I love the packaging, unfortunatly I cant take it out of the box as it's a gift but it's a pretty simplistic classic bottle :)
The perfume on the right is the packaging without the sleeve :)

I Love buying gifts and I hope they both love their presents!!!!
What do you think?
