REVIEW: Bourjois Volumizer Mascara

12 September 2011

Hey dolls!

Lately I seem to have been gravitating towards unconventional mascaras, and today I’ll review another quirky one, the Bourjois Volumizer Mascara.

This is another one of those 2 Steps mascaras, where you have one wand for length and another one for volume. I have recently reviewed the Rimmel Day 2 Night Mascara (click here to read it) which follows the same style with 2 wands, but I wasn’t impressed with that one, so I has hoping that Bourjois had somehow fixed whatever it was that Rimmel couldn’t do.

The packaging is pretty sleek and standard, not too bulky. My first impression was that wand number 1 (length) was very similar ro Rimmel’s, but wand number 2 (volume) was a lot thicker, so things were starting to look good for Bourjois.

Now I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

The verdict? I like it :)

My lashes look longer and thicker, and I would definitely repurchase this mascara. The only downside is that it does clump a lot, so you’ve got to make sure you separate your lashes with a clean wand.

I wouldn’t say that this mascara steals the number 1 spot currently occupied by Maybelline The Falsies or even the number 2 spot, which belongs to MAC False Lashes, but it certainly ranks amongst the top 5.

I hope you found this review somewhat informative and helpful, and I’d love to hear what you have to say about this mascara. Feel free to leave a comment below or interact with me via facebook, twitter, bloglovin or e-mail! :)

    Dollyrouge, I did try it and unfortunately I’m not a fan :( The volumising wand really didn’t do much for me! Xx

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
Pretty much where we’ve spent the last 2 days! 🐾🐶 Benji is settling in brilliantly and I’m so proud of the kids for showing him a lot of love and affection... and of course, plenty of playfulness! 🥰 Now we need to work on his nipping - those puppy teeth are sharp and it seems little kiddies’ wiggly toes are irresistible! Any tips? 🤎

Yesterday we added a little furry friend to our family and he is just the most perfect little pup! 😍 We’re so in love with him already, the kids literally haven’t left his side. We’ve wanted a puppy since before we had kids, but decided to wait a bit.  Benji joining our family now couldn’t have come at a better time and he’s such a loving pup. Just look at that face! ☺️

He is a chocolate roan show cocker spaniel and he’s 8 weeks old today 🍫❤️ His first night went so well, I’ll have to tell you all about it at some point, but for now I’ll leave you with these pup pics to warm your hearts! 🥰
