Bourjois Bb bronzing cream review

Review time....... Bourjois BBcream universal shade

Hello everyone as you may know i recently purchased some Bourjois make-up, one being the new bb bronzing 8 in1 cream.
This is actually the first BB cream ive bought even though i know that there are tons on the market.
This is the first bronzing BB cream ive seen aswel.
So its 8 in 1 claims to 1.even skin tone
                                        2.sheer tint
                                        3. Boosts radiance
                                        4.16hr moisturisation
                                        5.smoothes skin
                                        6.prolongs tan
                                        7.SPF 15 (yay)
                                        8.refreshing sensation
I agree it does do those things my only negative would be the universal shade.
Its not a real negative other than if you are pale or have fair skin, then you will probably need to mix a little bit of your usual foundation with it, as i noticed when i have my fake tan on its fine but my natural skin tone is a tad light for it.
That said though 10 out of 10 to Bourjois as even when i had no fake tan on the BB cream did what it said and evened my skintone without actually streaking.
BB bronzing cream
The fragrance is lovelly "addictive" in the words of Bourjois, and its application is really nice.
It blends really well leaving no nasty streaks or tidemarks, and thats even to be said if you use your
hands to put it on although a foundation brush or sponge will work better.

It is packaged in a 30ml pump bottle and i would reccomend if u are already tanned and not pale skinned.

Bourjois review Rouge Edition lipcolour

Rouge edition Bourjois lipstick in 12 rose neon

Hello guys well as i said id review the latest bourjois products i purchased here is the first review on the Rouge Edition lip colour in rose neon.The actual shade is
Loving this neon pink shade so hot :)
Really flattering and goes nice with tanned skin (natural or in my case faked).
The formula is perfect not too dry, it just glides on smoothly with no need to use a liner.
Infact its really moist on your lips almost like a nourishing product rather than just cosmetic.

The colour stayed put for ages but after about an hour and half there was no moisture left on my lips , the colour was still pretty much perfect so i just popped some clear gloss on, (though you could use lip balm or vaseline if u wanted to).
Pout for the camera lol

All in all a good product which could become a firm favourite in my collection.
I would buy this again and would try others in the range.

If  anyone has any suggestions for me on any aspect of my blog, or have any requests please either comment or contact me on twitter @beautygeekfashc id really appreciate feedback good or bad xxxxxx

Hospital + operation -heels= Excuse to buy new make-up

Hi guys well ive been in hospital having an operation on my foot which is rather depressing for a few reasons firstly being not able to work on offering you guys new posts, and secondly im not able to walk on it for 6 weeks (heels and crutches don't mix, avoid at all costs).
Bourjois beauty buys
So while ive been under the weather ive done what most of us would do and that is bought myself loads of new feel good products to make myself feel and look better
(You should have seen me after the anaesthetic, think of the horror movie "MAMA"and your nearly there)

Now one of the things i bought Bourjois had a 3 for 2 on with free sunnies at Boots so i chose the delice de soleil bronzing powder in 14 olive/tanned, the BB bronzing cream 8 in 1 which actually comes in a universal shade and the Rouge edition lipstick in 12 rose neon.
I really like these bourjois products
Im loving the lipstick i think the shades lovelly and summery and it goes on a dream, infact im really pleased with all 3 products and by the end of today there will be individual reviews on each so watch this space for those.
Ive always loved bourjois though i have really fond memories of being around 15 and my mums friend came to stay, while she was over she let me loose in her make-up case and it was mainly bourjois.
I remember it now dark brown lipliner with frosty pink lipstick and brown eyeshadows, in hindsight i think i looked like a trailer trash stripper but i loved it at the time.
So anyways i will try and make up on lost time blogging with loads of new posts follow me on twitter @beautygeekfashc for updates on new posts



love n hugs

Nip + Fab 365 Body Glow Fix clear tanning gel (medium) review

Hi I just thought id let everyone know about this new tan i just tried. I used it on my face before bed last night and awoke looking naturally sunkissed.
I really love this tan although I was a bit nervous with the fact it goes on as a clear gel(had a bit of ocd over where Id put it on my face lol) but it actually worked lovelly.
If you can see , im make up free in the picture but my skin looks alot lot healthier than usual (id be too scared too post a before picture,im trying to get followers not scare them away ha ha).
I think id be too scared too use this all over even though it is for face and body,but thats just because I know id be obssessing over where id put it and if id missed anywhere out, I can't see any reason as too why this would not

Ciate caviar pearls -shooting stars with ciate cookies and cream glass beads manicure review

Ciate nail polish

Hiya guys this is something ive had for ages, it was a freebie with Marie Claire magazine and is "ciate nail caviar set with glass beads.
This retails on there website for £18.00 and after trying this product I would definatly buy this, plus they have a wide selection off colours to choose from
The one I used was caviar pearls shooting star with cookies and cream beads.

Okay so my weak area when it comes too beauty regime's is definatly my nails
but I found this so easy to apply.
I applied one average coating of polish ,then I found it to be less waste full too tip the
glass beads into my hand and sprinkle them onto the tacky polish,( be careful to not let the polish dry too much or it wont stick).
I just used the beads on my big toe nails although you could definatly use them on every toe.
I painted the rest of my nails with the shooting stars polish and too finish applied a clear top coat  (an old avon one ive had years).
Although it isn't essential to use a top coat I would definatly recommend that you do as it will last alot longer.
Cookies and cream


While I was looking at the Ciate website I noticed the glass beads could be used on lips also so I decided to give it a go and lets just say I can still feel beads at the back of my throat now. 
I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS FOR A NITE OUT. For a photo shoot maybe but the beads are a nitemare on your teeth and gums.

Promtastic hollywood glamour

Maddie had her high school prom last night and "Wow" hasn't my little sister grown into a beautiful young woman?.
Top marks for the whole look, pure, understated ,glamour.
From the tousled ringlets complete with side plait, to the perfect shade of  tan, i think she pulls off this glam look effortlessly.
With matching metallic shoes and clutch against the perfect "summer is here" crisp white dress and co-ordinating nails maddies look is classy, and elegant.
I think its something to be aware of in the times where " The only Way is Essex" cast are most teenagers style icons (Don't get me wrong, im not adverse to a bit of TOWIE) , but ive seen too many people dressed up for proms with OTT sludgy fake tans, talons the witch from "the wizard of oz" would be proud of , eyelashes that resemble those wierd furry brown caterpillars, and hair that hard and overstyled it would still ping back after a steam roller went over it.
Joking aside my point is don't stop the spray tans (maddie is sporting one on the prom picture) but remember less can quite often be more.
Think classy , not brassy and have fun, there are no fashion and beauty rules, what works for me may not work for you and vice-versa.
Stick to your own style, never ever try to be like someone else because thats who you think you should be!
Be yourself and express yourself .
And remember while people are talking about you, they are leaving somebody else alone lol xoxoxo

Beautygeekfashionchic is born xxx

Hello and Welcome to the world of fashion and beauty taken from the heads of two barmy sisters
We hope to bring you reviews, news, and how to's on anything beauty and fashion related.
I remember being 7 years old and the excitement i felt over being given my mums old make up bag, the smell of the fuschia coloured Avon lip gloss,the sticky feeling it left on my lips and the shine of the silver cream eyeshadow.
I loved it all, as much as i could cram on my face,I would sit in the dressing table mirror making myself up, complete with madonna style beauty spot!
I loved playing dress up with my mums clothes, loved putting outfits together even aged 2 i used to parade around in stillettos and beads round my neck lol.
Fast forward 6years and along came "Maddie"( yes, that did come from the Beauty spot wearing days of listening to "like a virgin" my mum wouldn't allow Madonna, so "Maddie" it was), my darling sister.
Now I had my own little model to dress up (torture ?you decide) , my weapons of choice make up,curling tongs , sequins and a needle and cotton ( I even sewed the top shes wearing " Whoop whoop"), this pic virtually borders on child abuse lol (i had the best of intention...)
