Bourjois Cream Blush: 03 Rose Tender

Bourjois is up there with Revlon as one of my favourite drugstore brands. I mean, they've now been around for 150 years so they've had a lot of practice! To celebrate they've released some lovely products and I was so happy when I saw that they have now created their own cream blushes. I decided that I only need one so chose the shade #03 Rose Tender which is a lovely soft rosy pink. I've really enjoyed using it it so i'm sure that over the next few weeks I will end up accumulating a couple more, if not all four shades.

The packaging is very similar to their little round pot blushes and they have a cream-to-powder technology which I actually really like because it doesn't feel heavy or sticky like some cream blushes. I use a Real Techniques contour brush to blend the blush in and it leaves a lovely natural glow to my cheeks. It also lasts a good 6-8 hours without fading and has a classic rose scent. I've worn this blush every day this week and it has really impressed me. I can't wait to try the other shades! 

They were originally only available in Selfridges but are now sold all over the place for £7.99 which is pretty reasonable for such a lovely cream blush...I managed to pick this one up in Superdrug.

Let me know if you've tried any of their new products and what you think of their cream blush if you've tried it.

Beauty: Cath Kidston Body Products

I noticed that the majority of products I use on my skin are from Cath Kidston and wanted to share my thoughts with you because i'm so impressed. The packaging is beautiful and the lotions and gels feel luxurious and smell amazing. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Cath Kidston but I’m guessing these aren't the first beauty products that you would reach for if you had the choice. If you haven’t already tried any then I recommend you do because there really is something special about them.

Cherry Blossom Hand Lotion

 The bottle is huge!! But you can never have enough hand cream, especially if you live in the UK where it’s always an essential because of the awful weather. The pump is a great feature and an easy and mess free way of getting the lotion out of the bottle. The lotion itself has quite a thin consistency but when rubbed in absorbs into your hands instantly leaving them smooth and soft. The fragrance isn’t particularly strong but smells fresh and clean which is good enough for me. 

Bluebell Body Cream

 This is another fairly large bottle, which has taken me quite a while to get through as not much is needed because it is so moiturising and thick. A massive strength of every product is that one of them are greasy. Just like the hand lotion, this body cream blends really well into the skin straight away leaving a subtle fragrance. This is probably my favourite scent out of the bunch.

Rose Shower Gel

 This shower gel contains Provitamin B5, which apparently means that it can reach deeper layers of the skin, retaining the natural moisture balance. It therefore claims to leave skin ‘feeling soft and delicately fragranced’. It certainly leaves you smelling great but I wouldn’t say it noticeably makes your skin any softer. However, when teamed up with the rose body cream they make a great duo. This shower gel seems to have quite a thick consistency, which gives it a luxurious feel on your skin.   

Wild Rose Body Cream

 It does the same job as the Bluebell body cream but the fragrance is a lot stronger so would be a great alternative for someone who prefers a less subtle scent. 

 They are all free from parabens and sulphates.

I've noticed that you can now find a lot of Cath Kidston products in TK Maxx for reduced prices so it may be worth taking a look. Have you used any Cath Kidston body products? What are your thoughts on them?
