Bourjois 12 Hour Aqua Blush

Bourjois Aqua Blushes in Berry Nice, Cocoricorail and Pink Twice

Ahhh cream blushes... does make-up get more summery than fresh-looking, dewy skin? The answer is no, and Bourjois have got you cover in the dewy department with the launch of their 12 Hour Aqua blushes. 

The blushes will be launching nationwide in June, and be prepared to swoon (#poet)

The formula - A super-blendable creamy gel texture, that you need a pump of to do both cheeks, the formula is definitely buildable too if you prefer a heavier blush. 

The colour range - There are four colours in the range, however only one, when blended, that is visible on my dark complexion, which is slightly annoying (Berry  Nice for reference). 

I'm really impressed with the formula of these blushes, and their staying power is great (I'm not exactly sure about 12 hours...) it's just a shame that there aren't deeper colours for darker skin-tones. 

You can grab the Bourjois Aqua Blushes nationwide from June

Sssshh... My New Secret to Smooth Hair.

I'm already a huge fan of Moroccanoil as a brand (the Intensive Mask was my first real hair splurge) so when we received the invitation at work to come and have our hair styled with the new smoothing range, I literally jumped at the chance, in fact I may or may not have put my hand up to volunteer on behalf of the team. 

I arrived at the Urban Retreat Spa on Harrods' fifth floor with high expectations and was not disappointed. My stylists for the session, Sharon and Nathan, knew exactly how to treat my dry, relaxed hair. The creative ambassador of Moroccanoil, Antonio Corral Carero, suggested they first use the Moroccanoil dry scalp treatment as my scalp was super flaky, this was massaged in and left for 10 minutes. Antonio said this would also be good to use pre-relaxed as it protects the scalp but doesn't act as a barrier on the regrowth. 

They then used the Smoothing Shampoo and Smoothing Mask. I could already tell this worked a treat when Nathan was combing the mask through my wet hair as there was less snagging. To dry Sharon put three pumps of the original Moroccanoil treatment onto my hair followed by a few pumps of the new Smoothing Lotion and they blow-dried my hair with one of the new Moroccanoil round bristle brushes. 

The new Smoothing Range promises up to 72 hours of smooth hair and so far, so good. My smoothed hair has endured countless trains and tubes, an overheated office and two yoga sessions and is still feeling fab. It's been great for keeping my regrowth from looking too out of control too. The range will be available in a set initially  when it drops in the UK on the 1st of May, with the shampoo, conditioner and lotion, and while it is on the more expensive side, I would thoroughly recommend it!

Bourjois La Laque Nail Polishes

I'm such a polish hoarder, so much so I can't actually close my huge nail polish draw now and banned myself from buying anymore last year. A strict one in one out policy. This however is hard when you're a beauty journalist and are constantly introduced to new exciting launches, such as this. The new Bourjois La Laque polishes are a collection of 12 bright colours formulated with a non-drip one swipe brush. 

I'm really impressed with the formula of these polishes. I'm yet to try the white and pale pink, but the darker colours I've tried really only need one coat for pretty opaque coverage and the brush covers the whole nail. Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the semi-matte finish, but that's nothing that a glossy top coat won't fix. 

Bourjois La Laque polishes will be available from May
