Bourjeon Potter's Patronus Pendant | Detailed Review |

Hello Beautiful!

So I love necklaces and ear-rings/studs the most when it comes to jewelry. I prefer watches over bracelets and other wrist accessories. Also I am very particular about accessorizing, it's either ear-studs or necklace that I'll wear at a time, if I'm wearing necklace then no ear-studs/rings and if an ear accessory then no necklace! I know I know, but I'm weird like that! Any of you who does the same? I can't be the only one XD

A while back I came across this accessory brand called BOURJEON on Instagram and boy oh boy! Their collection is amazing and this one particular piece just caught my eye and I knew I had to get it. The Potterhead in me couldn't pass up on it! It was this beautiful Potter's Patronus Pendant and so I placed an order right away. Here's my experience with Bourjeon and the necklace.

Order Placing and Packaging: The order placing process was quite smooth and the product was delivered to me the very next day which was pretty impressive. It was delivered in a box which ensured safe transit. The necklace itself was enclosed in a plastic wrap which was secured in this black velvet pouch. I love the over all packaging and that Bourjeon ensures a safe transition.





Potter's Patronus Pendant: The necklace itself is love at first sight! It's beautiful. I love the color of the rhinestone - Mint Green is one of my favorite color to wear. The quality is superb. The rhinestones, Mint Green and the tiny ones on the ears sets firmly. Oh and another thing that impressed me is that they included two spare rhinestones secured in a clear plastic wrap. These are the gestures that show a company's dedication towards providing their customers with the best.




The extra rhinestones.

This will look amazing paired up with almost every outfit, specially solid colors and even button-up shirts, with the chain hidden beneath the collar - that will look so cool if the shirt is in a neutral color!

Overall, my experience with BOURJEON has been great and I can't wait to place my next order!

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Ibiza |Review & Swatches|


Hello Beautiful!

I have to say this right now, I love how these smell! But is there more to it? I have reviewed a shade Zurich in this line before, but does Ibiza hold the same impression for me? Read on to find out.

What NYX says:


My Thoughts:

Packaging: It comes in a plastic bottle with a black cap that has a matte finish. The color of the bottle represents the color of the actual product. It is quite sturdy and travel friendly and the cap screws shut nice and tight. It has a doe foot applicator which is soft on the lips. I don't find it scratchy. The name of the shade is mentioned at the bottom. 




Color: Described as a "deep rose pink", on my lips it truly is a deep and bright rose pink. I love to pair it up with otherwise minimal makeup.

Scent: As mentioned before, I love love how this smells. Like a sweet Vanilla icing -YUM!

Formula & Application: With all the Liquid Lipsticks pouring in from every cosmetic brand on this planet, the only reason I'm not really big on them is because how dry they feel on the lips! I absolutely hate that feeling but with these the experience is totally opposite.
The formula is creamy and mousse like and goes on quite smooth on my lips. I'd recommend exfoliating and moisturizing your lips prior to application anyway. Unlike Zurich, this one isn't patchy at all and the applicator applies it smooth and not streaky. 
It applies opaque on the first application but i like to go over it once again sometimes before it sets.
The product sets to a smooth matte on the lips without drying them. I like how light and moisturizing it is on the lips and doesn't transfer after it sets.



Lasting Power: The longest it wore on me was for 4 hours until it started fading from um where my lips touch. The good thing is that it doesn't crack or crumble. 

Overall I really like this formula and the color and for that it gets a 5 on 5!




I bought this from NYX website for $6. Unfortunately they don't ship to Pakistan but you can buy it from Zensky, Endulgence, Amor and several other Facebook pages selling authentic cosmetics. It is also available at Just4Girls and Reforma.pk

I'd love to know your experience with these and if you have any favorite shades from this range.

Until next time, Good luck and Ciao!
