Advantages: Gorgeous colours, mirror, good handbag size
Disadvantages: none
I love eyeshadows and I'm always attracted to the bright, funky colours which is why when I saw an offer at Boots for 3 for 2 on Bourjois make up, I decided to take full advantage and choose three colours.
The colours I bought were:
24 Turquoise Ensoleille - a gorgeous blue
17 Prune Intense - a deep purple
48 Vert Petillant - a stunning green
The eyeshadows from this collection are all shimmery and intense and have little light reflecting glittery particles in them.
The pots are cute too, they are round and match the colour of the eyeshadow inside, they have shiny gold lettering on the front with the Bourjois Paris branding, the name of the product and the number and name of the colour. It opens at the front in the middle to reveal a little domed cake of eyeshadow, a round mirror in the lid and a small eyeshadow applicator made of hard clear plastic (shaped to fit your thumb).
It is very easy to apply, the eyeshadow is hard not loose, so you glide the applicator across the cake, and then sweep it across the eye. The first application you put on your eyelid may not appear as strong as vibrant as you would imagine - I'd suggest applying a few strokes to build up the colour for a dramatic effect. These colours are not for the faint hearted, they are quite striking but beautiful and completely changes your whole look.
Everytime I've used these colours, I've not had to top them up once when I've been out...unless I forget I'm wearing eye make-up and rub my eye, I'm forever doing that!
All in all, a great, funky eyeshadow in some great colours. Also a great size to pop in your handbag, and the mirror is a great bonus!
They sell for £5.99 each and Superdrug currently have a 3 for 2 offer on Bourjois (cheapest free) so treat yourself xx
Summary: A great eyeshadow, reasonably priced.
