Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet REVIEW
Hey Guys, so today I thought I'd review the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in shade 01 for you. I wore this at Prom on Thursday as I went for a classic 50s style dress and so I opted for this well pigmented striking pillar box red colour.
I heard about these in one of Gabby's (Velvet Ghosts) videos a long time ago, I can't remember which one, but I have wanted one ever since. Gabby said that her favourites was this shade and some of the more nude colours. However, I haven't delved into the nude shades yet, although I'll definitely be purchasing more of these.
Firstly, the packaging of this product is truly gorgeous. I think what makes it look so classy is the clear glass effect tube (I don't know whether I'm describing this properly) with the black simple typography over the top. Adding to this the bright red lip-gloss-type-product and you can tell that the product screams sophistication. For a drug store product Bourjois have made it as classic and cosmopolitan as possible.
The application of this product is made easy with the chunky doe-foot applicator.However, because I went for a bright colour some extra care always has to be taken. Because I wanted my lip to be as perfect as possible I decided to opt for a red lip liner. I used the Maxfactor colour elixir lip liner in shade 10, Red Rush. I think if I were to use my Rouge Edition Velvet in an ordinary everyday circumstance then I wouldn't have used the liner but just to be on the safe side I thought it was necessary.
The finish on this product is a beautiful matte look, Although if you prefer your lips shiny then this product does have a ''mirror like shine'' effect range. I personally prefer a matte finish so that's why I chose to get this one.
Finally, this product seems to last forever. When I was at prom I didn't feel like I had to top my lip colour up or check it every 2 seconds. In fact, I didn't top it up once while I was there (4 hours) although I probably should have done it once just so the colour was still popping. The most amazing thing about this must have product is that it does not transfer! I repeat IT DOESN'T TRANSFER! I think there is nothing worse than when you wear a red lipstick n it transfers onto the glass your using. I really hate that.
Comment down below if you hate that too and if you've ever used any of these products before let me know your views on them.

Review| Shine Control Day Moisturiser.
I have been meaning to tell you about this little miracle for quite some time. Boots' tea tree witch hazel Shine Control Day moisturiser.
This moisturiser contains witch hazel which is a natural fighter against acne prone skin and oily skin. It is also great for sensitive skin as it is a natural resource.
On the back of the bottle it claims to lightly moisturise and care for your skin without blocking pores, blot up excess oil and control shine, whist also blending invisibly and providing a matte base for your make-up.
I have been using this for quite some time but recently left it out of my skin care routine. Within a few days my skin felt not as smooth to touch and a few blemishes and spots were beginning to show. I agree that this product does provide a matte base for make-up but that isn't ultimately what I use it for. As for controlling shine, I can't tell you much as I don't really have shiny skin.
However, I can tell you after putting this miracle back into my skin care routine that within 3 days (one application per day) my skin was left feeling really smooth, my blemishes have considerably reduced and my skin tone has evened out. I would definitely recommend this product if your skin suffers from red blemishes and spots.
And this product is a Boots home brand: it costs a very affordable £3.59 for 75ml. Which lasts you quite a long time as with each application you only need to use a very small amount (just a bit bigger than a pea size). This moisturiser is also included in Boots' 3 for 2 offer on skincare, No7 skincare, hand & body, hair care & hair removal at the moment, so this product is definitely something that you need to try out.
I know now that I will not be leaving this off any time soon.

How to Survive Christmas Shopping.
Hi guys, I know I haven't been on in a while but I have been so busy with school work and besides I'm back and feeling more festive than ever.
I thought I'd share with you some of the things I've found out that can really help the nightmarish task of Christmas shopping.
1- Make a list. Lists are the way to go Ladies and Gentlemen. Make one of who you need to buy for, where you need to get it from and how much it's going to cost you. This will save you having any nasty surprises when you get to the till. Also, don't forget to take a pen-to cross off the things you've just bought. Remember, organisation is key.
2- I've found that it's best to go Christmas shopping early in the morning. Just as the shops start to open. I know if your anything like me then it's a right royal pain to get up out of your nice warm bed when it's dreary and dark outside, but trust me you'll thank me for it in the long run. The trick with Christmas shopping is to make it as less stressful as possible and so if you go earlier it means less people and less people means less stress.
3- There's always the internet. If your struggling to find a present for that person who's always very difficult to buy for there's always the internet. There are some great sites out there that can help you find something that they will love. And if you order it now, it'll come in plenty of time for Christmas.
4- Don't panic, after all Christmas shopping should still be very enjoyable. Try to make it like a checklist. Spend the whole day Christmas shopping- have a look around the different stalls and shops and stop off for a hot drink to warm you backup while you listen to the various Christmas songs playing in the stores.
I'm very excited for Christmas this year...only 16 days till the big day. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be posting a lot of festivity so keep checking my blog. See you soon,
Leah-Marie xo

Btw guys, I'm thinking about a possible name change next week and a redesign of my blog as I don't really like the name tooty fruity because it was a bit spontaneous. If you think of any ideas as to what I can rename my blog please let me know in the comment below or contact on any other social media; the links will be below.

I'm going on holiday...
On Saturday I am going on holiday to Spain with my family, which I am quite excited about since I haven't been abroad on holiday in 6 years :o
But I'm really ill at the minute so these next few days will be spent getting better and doing all the usual pre-holiday stuff e.g. packing.
When I get back I'll post a 'My holiday in photos' post along with my Halloween outfit. I can't wait.
Hope you have a wonderful week,
Leah-Marie xo
Btw I may have internet at the hotel so please take a look at my twitter for updates.

Relaxing...
This week for me has been very hectic. The house is currently being renovated and so it is a complete mess and I have got lots of homework to be doing. So I decided to post about what I like to do to relax and unwind.
Firstly, I like to take a nice long shower with a body wash that smells extremely nice. My favourites being 'Soap and Glory's Rich and Foamous' body wash, 'The Candy Jar's Marshmallow hearts' (available from Tesco) and 'Dolly's Mixtures' Strawberry Daiquiri' (from Asda). They smell very sweet and ultimately makes me feel girly and pampered.
After showering, I will moisturize and exfoliate and then use a face mask to make me feel very clean and relaxed. There's nothing quite like a good face mask to make you feel like your on cloud 9.
Following this, I'll light some candles and make myself a hot chocolate. I'll then curl up on my bed and watch a film (most likely a chick flick... something like Love Actually or 50 First Dates) or lose myself in an exciting novel that no doubt I have read hundreds of times before.
Here's to hoping you have a wonderful evening and I get to finish clearing my room so that I can have one to.

Sorry my bottle of Marshmallow hearts is dented, I bought it like that as it was the last bottle and I had to have it because it smelt so delicious.
