Bourjois Effet Lumiere

One product that has been in my make up bag for the past six years (seriously) is Bourjois Effet Lumiere and even six years after buying the product I still love using it. Whilst my make up bag is absolutely full to the brim of all the Barry M colours you could ever imagine, a select few MAC Pigments (ahhhhh true love) and a whole variety of other eye shadows I've picked up over the years, I always still happily use this shadow from time to time. Effet Lumiere is an eye shadow trio with three complimentary shades. The one I own is Les argents 46 which contains white, grey and an almost black shade, perfect for creating that smokey look. I also have one with ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my favourite eye shadows and I tend to use it on a daily basis. It is a trio format which contains three shades that usually compliment each other. I have the bronze trio, which contains two shades of brown (one mid brown and one dark brown) and a gold-yellow shade. It is available in several different shade combinations. The Colours For the bronze trio, the gold-yellow and mid brown shades have a bit of shimmer to them, which subtly catches the light from time to time. The darker shade does not have as much shimmer and is more of a dramatic colour. I tend to use the mid brown shade the most often, followed by the gold-yellow shade. I ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a fan of the smoky eyed look that you see on celebrities these days, but after scouring the shelves I could never seem to find any eyeshadows which would replica the look for me, as you can only ever seem to get eyeshadows in one colour and I realy didnt fancy spending money on 2 or 3 different eyeshadows just to accomplish this look. However one fateful day I was lucky enough to have the Bourjois effect lumiere eyeshadow catch my eye. It was in a round pot which was a trendy silver solour which refelected the colours inside. There are 3 eyeshadow colours a perly white, grey and a very dark grey it also contains the eyeshadow applicator. As ...  Read the complete review

Effect Lumiere, or light effect is the name of Bourjois eyeshadow trios. They come in three "themes" "les argents" which are greys and white, "les bruns" whch are shades of brown and "les narurels". I have the "les naturels" which consists of a creamy/gold, light brown and dark brown eyeshadows. It comes in a brown/pink round plastic box which is 5.5cm at it widest point. The writing which is all in french on the front of the box is golden. There is a semicircular window through which you can see the three eyeshadows which are in an arch shape and go from lightest to darkest, as they are in this shape ...  Read the complete review

In short, this product is fantastic. I am still using a trio I bought 3 or 4 years ago when I wanted to create smoky eyes as a one-off look for a party and could not find any other eyeshadow trios which gave a smoky colour combination. It cost about £5 if I remember rightly, although now Boots are selling it for £6.35 and it is an absolute bargain, I cannot recommend this product highly enough. It is currently available in Boots in 3 colour combinations - smoky (as pictured - the ones I have), browns and blues. They are the only reasonably priced eyeshadow trios I have ever seen where I can imagine you actually wearing all 3 colours together. This is one of ...  Read the complete review
