Bourjois Shimmering Shine Eye Shadow

I am very fond of the Bourjois brand as I have always found it to be of good quality and their products tend to give a more dramatic effect. During one of my failed attempts at Christmas shopping I found myself browsing the Bourjois stand in Boots. I decided to treat myself to a couple of their new products. One of these was the Shimmering Shine Liquid Eye shadow. There were eight different shades to choose from, all of which were metallic looking to give the shimmering shine effect. I chose the "Rose Acier" colour, which is a very pale pink/lilac colour which has a metallic shimmer to it. The pot looks similar to a small nail varnish bottle and I ...  Read the complete review

I don't wear much eye make up, but fancied trying some new eyeshadow for the Christmas party season. I usually buy Boots No 7 make up but had been very disappointed with their eye shadows as they crease and didn't last well. Browsing in my local Boots I noticed the Bourjois stand. I have never tried Bourjois before and would probably have ignored the stand on this occasion expect for the fact that I had a £2 money off voucher for any Bourjois purchase. I was intrigued by the make up on offer and spent an enjoyable 20 minutes trying all the testers before finally concentrating on finding the perfect eye shadow. I was attracted to a row of small nail varnish ...  Read the complete review

Although I love Bourjois' mascaras and eyeliners, I never buy their eyeshadows or blushes as they seem to be baked and so have that hard, shiney, hard-to-pick up texture that requires a lot of work. That said, I did recently pick up a few of their "Shimmering Shine Liquid Eyeshadows" as they looked original and unlike any thing else I had seen before. Available in mostly neutral shades with a few brights, they retail at around six pounds if I recall correctly. (I'm unable to check at the moment as Boots.com doesn't seem to stock it). The "Shimmering Shine Liquid Eyeshadows" is an 'innovative water based product' that 'amplifeyes the ...  Read the complete review

For some reason, the idea of liquid eyeshadow really excited me, so when I heard about this product I rushed out to buy it, as I am a fan of Bourjois makeup anyway. Their products are of a high quality I feel, and not overly pricey for the luxurious feel of their make up. Design ****** The eyeshadow comes in a little clear pot, with a bright metallic sticker declaring the name of the product. To apply, you unscrew the lid and then have to remove the little applicator, which is a bit unusual and I'm not sure there is much point in this. The pot is a good idea though, as it prevents spillage. Product ****** As a ...  Read the complete review

I have raided my makeup bag and decided to write some reviews on the brands that i use / have used. I brought this eyeshadow about 1 year ago in Croydon for £4.00 from a discount / accessories shop on George Street. I like light / sparkly eyeshadows and this looked great when i used the brush (that forms part of the plastic screw top lid) to put a bit on the back of my hand. I have to say thats the only time i have liked it, the day i brought it! The brush grabs lots of the loose particles and 'dumps' them on your eyelids. The powder has the tendency to fall onto your cheeks and under your eyes! The powder does look good ...  Read the complete review
