Winter Finds

I've never been the type to wear heavy makeup during Autumn and Winter.

In fact, I generally do the opposite as the cold makes me lazy and lethargic thus I hardly wear makeup.

Although I've struggled to love dark berry lips and intense eye makeup, I guess it is growing on me.

Here are some things I found that I think should be incorporated in yours and my deeper, darker look for this winter.

Bourjois' Liner Feutre in Noir

Darker eye makeup means darker eyeliner right? 

I've tried this eyeliner already and I actually really like it. 

It's well pigmented and the tip is fine enough to do thin simple lines and it is resistant to smudges.

Bourjois' Color Boost Lip Crayon in Plum Russian

Deep red colours can make a real impact in your overall look, but I'm really not use to wearing such bold colours as yet, so I opt for this darker red instead. 

It's not perfect. In fact the outer packaging ruined the tip of the crayon as I tried to take it off!

Not happy about that but it's nice and glossy, but unfortunately hard to maintain and not very pigmented.

Revlon's ColorBurst Lip Butter in Fig Jam

If you hadn't read my review about Revlon's lip butters yet, you must check it out.

Again, another love. 

Although it comes off a brown colour, it simply just darkens the pigments of your lips so they look (naturally) darker.

Bourjois' Volume Glamour Mascara

This was a free gift and I'm not sure if they're sold separately in Australia right now.

I wore it today and it's not crazy good or anything.

It's not waterproof so I was put off almost immediately.

But it does volumize and lengthen, however for Asian lashes such as mine, the curl doesn't hold for long enough with this mascara.

Bourjois' Rouge Edition Velvet in Nude-ist

I am in love with this lipstick!

Especially the applicator. It makes it so much easier to apply.

This lipstick reminds me a lot of the Australis Velourlips because it mattifies after application.

But the colour selection is so much better. This is definitely my kind of colour.

The only problem is how dry your lips feel while you have it on, but what do you expect from a matte lipstick?

I know there is a lot of Bourjois products here but honestly half of the products were free gifts for buying Bourjois products.

I hope these brief reviews have helped you in what you want for this A/W season.

In the mean time, keep warm and safe!
