I have a couple of Bourjois products and really enjoy them, so I have to share this to you all.

Little Round Pot Eyeshadow- Now comes with a little mirror under the lid. Very silky, comes in matte, pearlescent and shimmery shades. My favourites are the brown shades. Easy to throw in your handbag.

Liner Feutre- A felt tip liquid liner that I find is the easiest way to apply liquid liners. Watch the tip though as it may get a bit whispy aftersome time!

Ive tried basically all the lipsticks and glosses. I found the lipliners too hard to apply as they all came in pencil form. The lipsticks don't last very long on my lips but I just enjoy taking them out and re-applying these juicy shades! They range from neutrals to pinks to purples. The glosses on the other hand are long lasting and not sticky at all. I love the gloss Le Levres (I think thats the name, not bothered to run downstairs and check!), it had a stunning sweet almond smell and is very nourishing.

Imperfection Concealer- this concealer comes packaged like a lipstick and has a mirror on the lid! Portable and the best concealer I have EVER tried. Silky, blended in and overall.. flawless results. It also doesn't cake to the powder I set it with, and something that I've never been able to get with any other concealing products is that it still retains that dewy look even when set.

The loose powder is linely milled with a soft sponge and sifter. Very lightweight but the coverage isn't that great. They just released hot new packaging too!

The compact powder, I enjoy carrying around as the packaging is so catchy!! Just like the loose powder but in a cute little bundle to carry round and blot the oils away.

Pastel Teint is just like a loose powder but in a pressed form. Same feeling as the powders above, the converage is quite impressive with this one though, I really recommend this one, as it comes in around 12 shades to suit all of you!

The kabuki brush is very soft and I use it to apply Delice De Poudre. This is a bronzing powder that comes in a little book and stamped in chocolate cube form! It has the silkiest texture and the colour is matte. The only downfal is it doesn't last very long as it is a small amount of product that I have to use alot of to get an actual bronzed look, although it's great for contouring if you are heavy handed like me! :makeup:
What makes me come back to this all the time is that it smells like chocolate!

I havent tried the Delice De Poudre in the highlighter shade. This one smells like white chocolate but if anyone has tried it please share!

One of my favourites is the Little Round Pot of Blush! :worship: Being the first powder blush in the world, it delivers the best flush of most blushers I have. It comes in the famous 20 shades and smells like roses! They come in shimmery and matte shades that all come with a little brush and a mirror under the lid. Very portable, and is Bourjois' best seller.

Another thing I enjoy is that all these products have a very distinct rose smell that only Bourjois' products have and one that I can't find in a perfume. I really hope they develop a fragrance!

Phew! Well, that's it. There will be plenty more to come, and if anyone has tried Bourjois' products please share your opinion! :typing:

I remember this line from the 80's - all the jewel bright colours. I think that was when I first fell in love with cosmetics.

There is another thread on this line too - http://forum.adorebeauty.com.au/showthread.php?t=278

I have several of their blushes which I love and also a felt tip eyeliner which is not so great - spreads on the skin like a texta on cartridge paper - too hard to control. :(

oh i loved that pen , was my everyday liner when i was on counter with them

i still have some of of my original stuff from them :whistle:

i loved the pastel teint , i used a bronzer colour & corrector colours as well , the foundations , n/polishes & mascaras have all changed , but i really did love most of the products , as a MA the eyeshadows were great , well pigmented & blendable , which was big back then [pre- MAC] the blushes were / are to die for. As u can imagine i had a lot .:whistle:

I have heard others mention that this is a great concealer. I have just repurchased the LM Secret Concealer. Not all that impressed with The Balm Concealer that I has bought recently from Kit, a little on the dry side for me. Must go and check this out. Thanks:waving:

glad I could help! Do you reckon the Balm concealer from Kit would be good for my combo skin?

It is still an oil based one but I find the texture quite dry. Maybe go in and check it out. They have four colours.

cool thanx~ I find liquid concealers the best becuase they are easy and quick to blend. Im not a morning person, get frustrated quick, don't even ask!

has anyone tried the new foundation with the inbuilt brush like the Australis' or YSL's ones?
It hasn't launched yet but some people on a review site claim to have tried it in Pricleine. I work there and hasn't come yet!

I've not seen it in Priceline yet.
But the packaging (http://www.beautyheaven.com.au/products/16899--Bourjois-Brush-Foundation) does look pretty :)

its just like all their other foundations, but with a brush. quite handy but still not a good quality foundation for me as they only have like 5 shades, and they all look like that orangey mask, no matter how light it's put!
