So I was looking for a new waterproof mascara in Priceline when I saw the advertisement in store about the new Bourjois promotion! For a limited time only, if you spend $25 or more, you'll get a free makeup bag with three Bourjois items inside!
So to make that $25 cut-off point, I got two things - the Volume Clubbing Mascara in Waterproof and the So Laque Nail polish in Beige Glamour.
I really wanted to get the Volumizer Mascara that has the two-step mechanism, but it doesn't say that it's waterproof on the package, so I decided not to. Non-waterproof mascaras have an extremely high tendency to not hold curl and more importantly - they tend to create 'panda eyes'!! :(

Beige Glamour is a bit darker in real life, with a more beige/brown tint to it. Pretty, feminine and appropriate for all occasions, especially for work. I tried it today and the color is creamy and absolutely lovely. It is now my holy grail nail polish!!
Now onto the freebies!
The bag itself is pretty cute - loving the bright pink stripes. It's made of plastic - it has the exact same smell and texture as those lifesavers at the pool haha
All of the bags contain the same items -
One nail polish in bright juicy watermelon pink (43 Magenta Show), one mascara (Volume glamour max definition) and one eyeshadow quad (05 rose vintage).
My favorite color is pink, so obviously I'm thrilled with all this pink overload.

| Volume Glamour Max Definition - 51 Max Black |
Sadly this one isn't waterproof, but I will give it a try some time, probably with mascara base underneath.
 |
| 43 Magenta Show - a fun, super bright watermelon pink! |
Having tried Beige Glamour, I am definitely excited to give this one a go later on, especially in the summer!

The colors look almost brown in the photo, but in person they are definitely pink. The light color on the left is a light white-pink, the middle color is a slightly darker pink-white, whilst the bottom right color is a deep burgundy-like color with pink-purple undertones. Hm I've just realized how bad I am at describing these colors lol btw all of these are shimmery!
Swatches -
The pigmentation for the two lighter colors is okay, but the darkest one is actually quite nice.
Gotta love freebies and spacial promotions, eh!
