Review: Bourjois Poudre Bronzante (Powder Bronzer)

So, fist off I should say that this product isn't available in the USA ( which is totally ridiculous ). I bought mine off  www.asos.com, what's great about them is that it's free shipping and they are very quick at getting your items to you. I believe this is around 12.00$ which, is a bit pricey for a "drugstore" bronzer in my eyes. Alas,  I have wanted this particular bronzer ever since I started watching Tanya Burr on YouTube. 



This bronzer suits pale/ fair skins very well. I am a loyalist when it comes to sunscreen so, I naturally have pale skin all year long. I find that this bronzer doesn't leave my skin orange or patchy. It's light enough to be built up and can just make your complexion glow. I like to apply it with a duo-fiber brush but, I do use a powder brush if I have been fake tanning. One great thing about this product is the smell! It's smells like a delicious chocolate bar and does somewhat resemble chocolate in it's packaging. 



I have had it for about 6 months and I don't see that I am hitting pan anytime soon! Go to the ASOS website and check out Bourjois! I am sure you will find something your just can't live without.

Dupe Alert: MAC Lipglass Revenge Is Sweet VS. Revlon Superlusterous in Berry Allure

So, I have been on the search for a replacement of my favorite lip gloss, Revenge is Sweet by MAC, and every time it's repromoted I always miss it. I bought it when the Venomous Villains collection came out and fell in love. While I was at CVS/pharmacy the other day I spied the revlon Superlusterous new packaging and new colors promotion. Almost instantly I was pulled towards 'Berry Allure' I picked it up and thought to myself," is it really a dupe?!". I was so excited and picked it up for about 7.99$.

This is them side by side. You do get quite a lot of product with the revlon one compared to MAC. The shades in the flash photo don't look as close as they really are. It's so hard to find this magenta, purple, sheer shade and finally I think I have found an exact dupe! 

Here is a swatch of the colors 



If there is any difference it's that the MAC one is very slightly creamier. I do,however, prefer the Revlon one due to the fact that its not sticky on the lips like the MAC one is. But, my MAC Revenge is Sweet is about 3 years old! I know,I know it's expired but, I couldn't throw it away or use it up until I could find a proper duplicate. I hope this helps some of you out there who also like this shade!!
