Bourjois Eye Pencil And Lip Liner

When you are looking out for an eye pencil, the color is the first think that catches your eye. Second thing that you look out for is pigmentation and of course the third and the last thing is the price. As we all want to pick / buy the products which are worth the money. 

I really like Bourjois products, good in quality and worth the money. On my recent window shopping spree I happened to pick up two eye pencils and one lip liner from Bourjois. Amazing colors and highly pigmented.

Dont Tempt Me !

Wanted to pick up something really good and engaging. My earlier picks were not so great. The last book I had picked up was "Cuckoo's Calling" from J K Rowling, after reading couple of chapters, I lost interest and never bothered to complete it.

On my recent visit to a book store, I picked up a book "Don't Tempt Me" from Sylvia Day. I like the synopsis and thought it would be a good read.

Initially.... found the story little confusing but as I moved ahead.... just could not keep the book down. Totally hooked onto it.

Bright Jewel Blue Eye Make up Look

Ok ! so far I had not experimented much with blue,  so this time I wanted to create an Intense bright blue look.

This look you can wear, in the evening or night out. Apart from the bright Blue color, everything else I have kept less dramatic and sober.  As any which case,  all the attention will be on eyes.

I have used black kohl pencil on the below waterline and traced it with white eye pencil just to sober down the black, making your eyes appear little less intense and more colorful and vibrant.

No false lashes used in this look. If you want you can apply false lashes for more dramatic effect. You can also add glitter to this look to get more attention to your eyes.
