Bourjois Paris | Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara

6 comments
Hello lovelies!

It was time for me to replace my old mascara which was apparently drying out. I think I have tried almost all of the drugstore brands when it comes to mascaras. Some I would say did not work out so well, others were amazing to my eyelashes. Since I am always the curious one, this time again I looked for a mascara and a brand I had not tried before. Bourjois is one brand my friend kept suggesting me to go for hence when I reached the counter I took my time to explore the range of mascaras (which is apparently a huge range) to shortlist one that fulfilled my needs - black, loads of volume, non-smudging and easy to take off. My pick - Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara. 

The Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara comes in a black packaging with 'Volume Clubbing' written in club-style gold shade giving it that glamorous nighttime makeup feel. Twist the top and you have a wand which is straight with a good workable length, at least for me. Too long and too short are hard to handle and you might need to be extra careful throughout the application so that you don't end up smudging your eyelashes or have the product on your skin. Though I have been a big fan of the curved mascara brushes (maybeline Colossal eyes) this one is a normal straight brush with an average thickness. But hey the brush gets more technical. It looks like a regular brush with bristles all over but when you look closely it is double sided. This means that the bristles are only on either sides of the brush keeping the center as it is which turns out to be the product reservoir. Hence once you apply the mascara you get a lot of (controlled) product on your eyelashes which gives you that extreme volume, perfect for nights out. The formula is also enriched with Vinyl which ensures a look that wont budge at night.

My experience with the Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara is going great. It the kind of mascara which caters my needs. I'm always on the go and cannot spend too much time on makeup due to my busy routine. I need something which is hassle-free and makes my work easier. Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara is so easy to use. I curl my eyelashes and apply a single coat which is good to make my eyelashes stand out, second coat makes my eyelashes look thick with great volume and I'm done. No smudging whatsoever provided you know how to apply a mascara properly. If you do not you will smudge even if you try an expensive high end mascara.

I actually purchased this mascara as a pack which came with a complimentary Bourjois Kohl and Contour Ultra Black Eye Pencil. I think I made a wise decision since I cannot live without a kohl pencil and would need it anyways once I run out of my current kohl pencil. If I have to choose one makeup product I could keep on a deserted island, it would definitely be a kohl pencil - period. This eye pencil is enriched with pure pigments and allows for an intense result from the very first stroke. The pencil is soft and bendable to work both on inner and outer rims of the eyes. Since I like my Kohl pencil to be soft yet intense in color (which it is) Bourjois Kohl and Contour Ultra Black Eye Pencil turns out to be a good option. However, if you love trying different shades in eye pencils then go for rest of the six available shades.

Coming back to Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara from Bourjois, this is definitely a good drug store mascara if you are looking for economical options. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new option in the mascara range. I am planning to either repurchase it or try another one from the Bourjois range of mascaras.

Dior Addict Eau de Toilette | My New Fragrance

2 comments
Hi Lovelies,

During summer this year my most favorite summer fragrance has been, yes you guessed it right Chanel Chance Eau de Tendre. It is the perfect fruity-floral fragrance and a better version of the original. However, when autumn sets in I prefer warmer, woody-floral fragrances with hints of vanilla and sandalwood. When I had to finally step out and find a new fall fragrance Dior Addict Eau de Toilette was love at first sight. The House of Dior has always fired dreams. Dreams of women and their beauty, their pleasures and their freedom. Dior Addict Eau de Toilette is part of Dior's line of luminous and sensual fragrances revealing a subtle sense of freshness and sensuality. It is the reinterpretation of the original Addict which was launched back in 2002. I love the new packaging. The bottle has become nobler, affirming the sophisticated charm of Dior. It is more graphic, light and transparent than before and is displayed as a beautiful object. The new design has a sleek and feminine feel to it.

Out of the three fragrances in this line I chose Dior Addict Eau de Toilette as I found it most appealing of them all. It smells divine! The fragrance is intuitively beautiful and freely seductive. I prefer testing perfumes on myself around the wrist rather than on a paper. I personally think perfume sprayed on the skin gives you the best results. I usually spray on my wrist, go around for a while and sniff from time to time. This gives me time to experience the fragrance and decide if I should go for the purchase or not. When I did the same with Dior Addict Eau de Toilette I was mesmerized. I would be lying if I say I did not know at that time that this was exactly the fragrance I would go for - for fall season.

When it comes to notes, the harmony of Sicilian Mandarin, Jasmine Sambac, Tunisian Neroli, Sandalwood with a hint of Vanilla is timeless. Top note is Sicilian Mandarin which grows in Mediterranean but Sicily is where the best Mandarins are to be found. This adds a fruity touch to the fragrance. Heart notes is the luminous Jasmine Sambac Absolute which is an eminently Dior flower. Rich and faceted, it is a symbol of soft femininity. Indian Jasmine Absolute brings a mix of strength, delicateness and character to this fragrance. Base notes are Sandalwood with a hint of Vanilla. Sandalwood is one of the most sought after centuries old variety in the world. Sandalwood essence a sensual, subtle woody base and personally I believe I haven't come across a more sophisticated woody-floral fragrance than Dior Addict.

Dior Addict Eau de Toilette is a charming feminine fragrance which is light and fresh which can be worn both during the day and at night time. I absolutely love the woody charm of Sandalwood infused with Jasmine Sambac that delicately lingers on leaving behind a hint of vanilla. This is one fragrance that I instantly fell in love with and cannot recommend it enough. It would make a perfect gift for your best friend and mom. Next time you go for a perfume hunt, do give this one a try.

Love at first sight..
