    British summer time is still (thankfully) going strong which means it’s more than acceptable to wear bright colours. Bourjois’s Succès Azuré* from the So Lacque Glossy range, is a stunning turquoise creme you will want to add to your collection. Easy application with a high gloss finish, Bourjois’s reputation for producing gorgeous, high quality shades at affordable…

  • Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet: Grand Cru & Nude-ist

    If you’ve not caught the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Matte bug, then all I can ask is why the hell not? The matte lip colours released a few months back are nothing short of fantastic. In fact they are a dream come true. Bold shades with matte finish and long-lasting colour that do not crack…

  • Here comes the sun…

    It’s apparent from my awkward stance that I am not a born fashion model/blogger. I’m too old for this shizz – you kids know how to do this malarkey without looking like a total pleb. But a couple of weeks ago I bought a maxi dress and at the weekend I had the chance to…

  • Bourjois Instant Dry

    Bourjois’ quick-drying Instant Dry drops is brilliant at speeding up the agonising wait for wet nails to dry. I’m guilty of painting my nails just before I go to bed and these drops have helped hugely in keeping the dreaded bedsheet marks at bay. One drop dispensed from the handy pipette will cover a painted…

I’m last to the party of nail art designs so to get my hands on a tool that simplifies the skill is a pretty big deal. Bourjois…

  • Bourjois cream blushers

    By now you will have got sucked into the hype of Bourjois’s four new cream blushers – a first for the Parisian beauty brand. Is it worth the fuss? Hell, yes! The pretty little round pot powder blusher epitomises everything that is Bourjois, and these cream blushers are rightfully something to get excited about. It’s amazing…

  • Travelling Light

    I am going on holiday to Marrakech soon. It will be 7 days in the (here’s hoping for) scorching north African sun, and I am looking forward to getting my first sun tan in almost 18 months. One thing I am determined to do is to minimise on my packing with make-up and beauty products for…

  • One year on…

    A year (or nearly two in my case) feels like a long time but looking back, it’s gone quickly. Those who have been reading Just Nice Things for at least a couple of years will know the obstacle I had to face in 2011, leading me to stop blogging for a while. (Here’s a little reminder…
