A bad first impression

So the title makes this post sound really negative, but im not bashing products today i promise.

Over the past couple of months i have realised some of the products i am now loving i once used to despise and i think this comes from me judging a product to quickly after trying it probably twice.

I thought i would show you some of the products i had a disliking for.

First up is the Bourjois Bronzing Primer, the first out of these products i purchased. Firstly i hated the smell of this (i still do), its quite sickly but some people love it. Once its on your face though you can barely smell it. Because of the formula: it melts slightly from the warmth of your skin, meaning it is super easy to blend. My problem with this was that i just thought it was way to orange toned for my skin; being a ghost and all, however if you apply a small amount to the hollows of your cheeks and blend out to act as a contour or a base under your bronzer it works really well, it has a lovely velvety texture that helps the rest of your bronzing products glide on nicely. 

Philip Kinsley Daily Damage Defence. I was lucky enough to meet one of the ladies who works for Philip Kingsley. She was ever so helpful as she taught me so much i didn't know and corrected us on things we had been told and thought we knew that weren't true. Here is the full scoop. This is definitely a product you don't know you love until you stop using it. It makes my hair so shiny and absolutely tangle free, definitely worth the money.

The first time i tried Maybelline brow drama i was genuinely not happy because i thought i had wasted my money, which i do not like to do. I stuck it out and tried it a few times but for someone who liked big stand out brows, it wasn't for me unfortunately. However i am now into it. I still like a good bold brow but now im liking more of a natural bold brow appose to fully filled in. This product is perfect for that; for one, it matches the colour of my caterpillars perfectly. It slightly tints your brows with out them looking like you have sharpie on your face, it fills them in really nicely and quite naturally but you can build it up if needed and it also gives your brows a little more lift and volume which is great, right?

Last but not least is cream blushes and im talking generally not just about the Rimmel Stay Blushed. Cream blushes can be a scary thing if you can't work them right... which i could not! That is the main reason they are in this post, is because i couldn't really relate to the hype of them, i feel like they are a 'Less is more' kind of product when working with them, especially the ones in more of a squirty tube formula? I am now in love with the concept of them after giving them a few more trials, you definitely need to find your own knack when it comes to cream products... it took me a long time but after that you get such a gorgeous radiant look to your makeup and i think they feel much nicer on your face too.

So this was a bit of a talky one today, hope you don't mind? oh and let me know if you enjoyed it!

Love ya
