Bourjois New Releases

Contour Clubbing Waterproof Eyeliners is crease-resistant and 100% tear & sweat proof. It is creamy and soft and it sticks (really). You have to use a waterproof make-up remover to get rid of every trace of this one.

I received Dynamint and Up and Brown to test.

Seeing that I don’t really ‘hit da club’ anymore, Dynamint isn’t a colour that I would opt for. It is super pretty though. But Up and Brown is awesome. The colour is a deep brown with a slight shimmer. I use it to line my eyes and if I’m going for a more intense smokey eye, I like to smudge it into the crease and outer corner of my eyes. You have to move quickly though as it is budge-proof when dry. If I had 3, this pencil would get 3 thumbs up. I will be stocking up on Up and Brown and getting the black one as well. Unfortunately this is a limited edition item (insert sad face) and will be available from August and selling at R100 a pop.

So Laque Glossy Nail Enamel gives you ‘Shiny, neat and full, glossy colour for up to 10 days’.

I received Adora-blue to play with and I ‘adora’ the shade. Okay, I’m sure I’m the only one laughing at that one. Anyway, next I want to get my hands on Taupe modèle. These will be available from the end of this month and retail for R96 each.

Bourjois is stocked at selected Clicks stores and you can contact Cosmetiques de France on 011 8019151 or the Clicks Customer Care line on 0860 254 257 for a list of stockists.

Oh So Heavenly Newbies

I’m sure you’ve noticed that I am a HUGE fan of Oh So Heavenly. They are constantly bringing out new products, variations and scents and their stuff is cheap as chips. Here are a couple of newbies that are now on shelves at Clicks.

Scentsations Perfectly Peared Body Lotion is a light, fast-absorbing lotion that leaves you skin soft and smooth and smelling of pears and blossoms. Perfect for those who do not like heavy and think body creams. It’s lovely and a steal at R22 for 300ml.

The Cool ‘n Confident Powder Soft Anti-perspirant contains powder to keep underarms extra dry and moisturisers to keep your skin soft. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but the scent is pretty and subtle. R20 for 100ml.

Happy Hands Creamy Caress Hand & Nail Cream contains moisturising Milk Proteins and Yogurt Extract to help nourish hands and nails. I love the scent off the Creamy Caress range and I have purchased quite a few from the range myself. It smells clean and fresh. My hands are left feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. The huge 140ml tube goes for R29.

Honestly, OSH’s body spritzers are probably the only products from this brand that I am not a fan of. The ones I’ve tried are fruity or floral and I don’t like sweet scents, not for a spray at least. BUT the Scentsations Fresh Start Body Spritzer is awesome. The scent is clean and fresh with hints of geranium, ylang ylang and iris. I absolutely adore it! This spritzer is perfect to freshen up during the day, or after a shower/bath in the evening. It is going to be great in summer. I also see myself spraying this on my bedding. Problem is that my Gran has already decided that this one belongs to her. But at only R22 for a 100ml bottle I can afford to stock up. And trust me, I will.

PS Don’t forget about the new OSH body butter that I mentioned HERE. And be on the lookout for Mum & Cherub reviews next week.
