Bonjour Beauty: Totally Lashed!

Recently bonjourchic got the haircut blues. Not just I-need-a-haircut blues, but I-need-totally-new-hair blues. So, in a bid to change things up I chopped my hair down to a neat crop à la Agyness Dean. The result? I love it.

From the way it takes next to no time to wash and style, to how my new do frames my features in a kind of gamine Mia-Farrow-meets-Twiggy-but-sorta-circa-1986 fashion, I totally love it. But, here comes the but. Said feature-framing is also posing a few new make-up woes. And by woes, lets not exaggerate, I mean “cool, lets try some new products”woes.


You see, what Twiggy and Farrow both share are long, dark and totally feminine lashes. It’s what keeps the whole look on the gamine and girly side of androgynous. For me that’s meant out with old faithful Maybelline, and in with a new Cargo mascara that’s been checking all the boxes on my luscious lash quest. Eyes speak volumes and my lashes have been needing some super volumizing.





The Name:
Cargo Blu-Ray Mascara

What it is:
The blueprint for picture-perfect, big screen-ready eyes. Specially designed as a remedy for unforgiving HDTV close-ups, this mascara caters to my inner leading lady, working to lengthen, boost volume and make lashes look amazing in any light.

How it works:
To ensure an award-winning performance, each wand features a two-sided brush complete with a flat portion for even coverage and a super-fine comb for perfect distribution. No clumps here.

Why you want it:
Not satisified with good looks alone, thanks to an infusion of replenishing panthenol and keratin, Blu-Ray delivers chic, healthy and strong lady-like lashes that dazzle under the spotlight.

So, the only question is: Who shall I cast to play my leading man?
