SHADE:Rose Tentation is  a very beautiful pink with iridescent green in it.It is very unique and a great shade for Indian ethnic wear.The shade is shimmery.

Left: Wet; Right: Dry

MY VIEWS:The eyeshadow is smooth.It is shimmery but the shimmer particles are non-grittty.The shadow has little fallout when swiped with brush but goes on smoothly on lids.It is decently pigmented and 2 swipes can provides enough shade on lids.I love the fact that I can use this wet as well as dry as the shadow is baked.It gets intensified when used wet and the duochrome green effect is much visible.

The shade is easy to blend out with other shades and the pigmentation increases when used over a base.It doesn’t crease or fade for about 6-7 hours and is a great option for special occasions as the shade is very festive.

RATING:4.5/5

RECOMMENDATION:The shade is very pretty and I highly recommend buying this if you want a nice pink for Wedding or party purpose.The duo chrome effect adds a pretty dimension to the shade.

PACKAGING:The packaging is really pretty and like other products(blushes and eyeshadow),these come in a little round pot in the same shade as the eyeshadow. Also,these babies have silver coloured magnetic pressable button that shuts down quite sturdily avoiding harm to the eyeshadow.No brush or mirror is there.A small card is present proving instruction for usage of the eyeshadow.

SHADE: Out of the 3 luminous shades available,no.3 is described as a ‘powdery greyish pink’.I would describe it as a highly frosty shimmery silver with lilac-purple(ish) undertones.

03 swatch

MY VIEWS: The shadow has a soft and smooth formula.It isshimmery but non-gritty and non-abrasive.It is easy to apply and blend.I had never used this shadow earlier but when the S.A. at Bourjois demonstrated the use of this beauty;I was stunned.This shadow can be used as a base for other shadows as in that it provides an illuminating effect.Just apply this shadow and work on it as if this is a shadow base.It does provide an illuminating effect and the whole look sparks off!!I have used shadow alone as well and it works well that way too!The shadow does has fallout but its very minimal.

Coming to the pigmentation,the shadow is insanely pigmented.You have to be careful else it can be easily overdone.The shimmer particles are visible but they don’t fly all or the face and aren’t so chunky.03 can be applied dry as well as wet.The lilac undertone is visible but its not very prominent.It stays for about 6-7 hours which is amazing!

RATING:5/5

RECOMMENDATION:A great shade that complements and blends well with other shades,can be used for smokey ,subtle looks as well as for brightening effect.I highly suggest checking this out.

Bourjois Paris liner clubbing Ultra Black liquid eyeliner Review, Swatches & EOTD

ABOUT:Easy to use and apply, this blacker than black liner helps create intensely beautiful and sexy ‘doe eyes’.
Formula enriched with black mineral pigments for maximum intensity.
Ultra resistant, with 8 hour hold. 100% sweat and tear proof – tested and approved by clubbers.

Can be removed with a non-oily make-up remover.

PRICE:rs.710 for 4ml.

PACKAGING:A black plastic outer packaging with a thin applicator brush.The packaging is nice,sleek and sturdy!!The brush is thin and long which enables drawing very thin lines too but this can be a difficulty for beginners as they might not be able to draw precisely.

SHADE:I chose the shade Ultra Black ,there is one more black available but this one is considered to be jet black and I truly agree with that.The shade is an amazing black that I adore to bits and has glossy finish.

swatch

MY VIEWS:The liner has thin liquidy consistency but it’s not runny.When applied,you can feel the thin texture as against thick .It provides glossy finish but it’s not among those shiny finishes but I hate!!It provides a very classy look and definitely stands out.It is water-resistant but not waterproof and comes off easily with mild cleanser or even with water.

It dries up quickly and I like the fact that I can draw the thinnest possible line or thicken it as per need.I love to draw a winged liner using this.It stays comfortably for about 7-8 hours.The liner doesn’t crack or chip when worn.

However,this isn’t a cup of tea for everyone as you need to have a sturdy hand while using this.Also,this can never be my choice when I am in a hurry.

RATING:4.25/5

RECOMMENDATION:I love the formula,finish and quality of the liner.The tip is amazingly thin and I can doodle using this liner as well.I love Bourjois for its awesome products,packaging however,the price has been ever-increasing which keeps many of us away from trying the great products.

 

Bourjois Lune D’or Blush Review & Swatches

ABOUT: Bourjois Little Round Blush is Softer and more velvety thanks to a new pearl effect and a skilful blend of pigments. The baked texture is transformed on the skin into a light ultra-fine pressed powder, that is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of rose scented powder.

PACKAGING: The blush has a very cute round pot packaging having similar shade as the blush.A dense dome-shaped blush brush is provided which is easy to use but I hardly use it.The shade name and number is provided at the back as well as in front of the packaging.The blush has a small round mirror at the other end.I find the packaging very girly,it is sturdy ,travel friendly and closes securely with a lock.

SHADE: This blush is a shimmery light rosy pink color with tiny gold reflects.When applied alone it is very sheer, and can be used lightly as a highlight color. The color can be built up to a more light peachy/gold color on the cheek which look very pretty.The blush has a sweet fragrance that is reminiscent to all Bourjois blushes.

MY VIEWS: The texture is smooth though not very satin soft as this is a baked blush.The shimmer present is soft and minute.It does show up on cheeks and is a bit too much for those who prefer matte blushes. It is a sheer shade but it does show up on my skin if swiped 3-4 times.It is more of a highlighter shade than blush and leaves a pearlescent glow on my face.It stays for about 5-6 hours.

dry swatch

The shimmer doesn’t clog pores neither accentuate them.It is baked so the upper layer gets hardened after sometime which can be renewed by scratching the top layer.

wet swatch 

RATING: 4/5

RECOMMENDATION:I adore the shade and everything about this blush but the ever-increasing price makes it one main grudge.I highly recommend grabbing at least one shade.

Bourjois has used the revolutionary “baked technology” since 1863 to give its eyeshadows an ultra soft, light and easy-to-blend formula. Dont be shy, apply as much colour as you want for a luminous result.

Rounded, colourful and smart compact cases, as precious as jewels!

A unique feminine design with integrated mirror and applicator for an easy application anytime, anywhere.

And… it respects my eyes

A hypoallergenic formula, paraben and fragrance free.

Contains up to 80% of mineral pigments.

PRICE:rs.360

PACKAGING:The packaging is cute with a little round pot of the same colour as the eyeshadow.It comes with a small applicator.The packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.However,I depotted it to keep it with other shades.

SHADE:Bronze Paillete d’ is a gorgeous glittery silver and antique gold shade  with light black undertones.The shade is very unique and looks stunning.

up:dry,down: wet

MY VIEWS:The texture of the shadow is not very smooth as the shad is full of silver and antique gold specks.However,it’s not gritty and applies well.You need a strong base underneath though for the specks to adhere to .I generally pat it over paint pots or apply it with wet brush.The pigmentation is sheer when used dry .It does increase when used wet and intensifies a bit.

The shade does has fallout so you need to be careful while applying it.It doesn’t blend much with other shades as it is basically a glitter shadow so I pat it over the shadows sometimes,for a glitter effect.  It stays for about 4 hours after which I can see fading.

 

RATING:2.75/5

RECOMMENDATION:The shade is awesome for night outs and for a pop of glitter but it needs to be worked out a bit and the staying power isn’t that great.Its not a must have but a fun shade to try out.

Bourjois Blush 11 Brun Illusion review & swatches

ABOUT:Little Round Pot blush Ultra fine and easy to blend powder blush.  Our timeless blusher has been around for almost 150 years and have made Bourjois famous worldwide thanks to its amazing texture and packaging.
The baked texture transforms when applied to the skin into an ultra-fine pressed powder, which is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of the rose scented powder. Its built-in mirror and brush is perfect for touch-ups on the go!  The Little round pot blush exists in 12 shades to match all skin tones.

PRICE:rs.550 for 2.5 g. when I bought it last year which is now hiked to rs.775!!!!  

PACKAGING:The packaging is like other Bourjois blushes but I depotted it as I use it as a bronzer so kept it along with them!!!The blush has a small blush applicator which is hardly of any use.

SHADE: Brun Illusion is a dual purpose blush as it can be used as a blush as well as a bronzer for contouring.I generally use it be applying it for contouring and blending it upwards as a blush.It is a light brown shade with golden shimmer.The shade has slight orange tones that makes it perfect to be used as a warm blush.

MY VIEWS:The texture of the blush is smooth and non-gritty.It is easy to use and the shimmer present doesn’t clog pores neither accentuate them.It gives a beautiful warm tone to the face which is great for summers.The shade will suit all skin tones but the intensity can vary.On fair skin tones,it will show more as a bronzer and dusky skin tones can sport this as a lush as well as a bronzer!!It has a very delicate fragrance that lingers on a  few seconds and fades away.

swatch

The blush sis decently pigmented and 1-2 swipes are needed for it to show on skin. Bourjois blushes end to get dry as they are baked and he upper layer gets dry so you can just scratch it to regain the beauty of the blush.It stays for about 5-6 hours on my face.The shimmer effect lessens but the shade stays.

RATING:3.75/5

RECOMMENDATION:I just love this blush which serves as a bronzer as well.However,the horrendous price hike is a big put off.I recommend trying this shade.
