Bourjois Rouge Edition '10 Rouge Buzz'

Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in '10 Rouge Buzz'

I don't know why its taken me forever to review this lipstick. Its actually became a strong contender in my lipstick collection and holds its own against mac, and if the yearly 'best of the year posts' were here, this would be in it. 

Number 10 or 'Rouge Buzz' as its known by press release is a bright neon orange undertoned red lipstick. I brought this when the 'Rio Rio' lipstick was out of stock in Topshop and I'm actually glad I did. 

What surprised me about this lipstick was the quality. For £7.99 this product is incredibly pigmented yet so so creamy and easy to glide on. I've worn this on nights out and as a statement lip during the day and often get asked where its from, I'd say its a great orange lipstick to try if your looking to try an orange shade for the first time. Rouge edition lipsticks come in 17 shades and I couldn't recommend them highly enough - I can't wait to grab more!

Essie 'Fiji'

Essie 'Fiji' - £7.99 Boots

 Now that my nails have grown I've been experimenting alot more, and looking into nail products avidly. A couple weeks ago I discovered Essie had been launched in Boots, and I quickly heard about this shade - 'Fiji' , I've become very much a neutral nail varnish girl lately - otherwise nail clashing against outfit choice is'nt a good look! I've always been an avid buyer of Barry M but lately have began to see the down side of them - the gloopy ness the time they take to dry, the stains they leave on my nails. So I thought hey why not £7.99 for a nail varnish .. I deserve a treat? right? RIGHT.

 This is probably one of the best nail varnishes I've ever splashed out on. I spent about half an hour trying to find a cheaper duplicate and alas couldn't. The finish of this polish is perfect. An off white pinky colour. Bright and fresh. The polish drys quickly and its really nice and shiny. It took about 3 coats to give me this 'opaque-ness' and its lasted 2/3 days without chipping so far. I've also got Models Own 'Ibiza Mix' on my ring fingers here.

 My advice? YES expensive nail varnish IS worth splashing out on - if its a colour that you can wear all the time! 10/10 (P.s I realise I'm lacking in outfit posts lately - my work uniform has became rather boring. Fear not I have some lined up!)

Have you tried any Essie polishes yet? Which your favorite?!
