Bourjois illuminating touch 97 rose essentiel review, photos and swatches

Bourjois says

“Sculpt and catch the light!
Soft iridescent and blendable powder
Apply to cheekbones and temples to sculpt your face.
Add a touch to the browbone to instantly illuminate.
A must-have for every make-up bag loved by the beauty press”!

Tips: sweep the brush upwards from the apple of the cheek to the temple for a naturally radiant finish.

Bourjois illuminating touch 97 rose essentiel is a soft shimmery peach highlighter in a beautiful round pot which is also light shimmery peach in color. As usual it comes with a mirror and a brush and a small instruction leaflet.

The color is very light (of course it’s a highlighter, not a blusher). The color is a pretty peach which will look pretty on all complexions. I use it on my cheekbones and the effect is simply beautiful, light reflects back highlighting my cheekbones. The shimmer is like thousands of fine shiny particles reflecting the light back. I am so glad I got this product, it can instantly make your cheekbones the center of attraction of your whole face and those of you blessed with high cheek bones will simply look like a diva. Apply less for a soft look or more for a glam one.

Don’t limit Bourjois illuminating touch 97 rose essentiel to just the face, I use it to highlight my décolletage as well. It will give you instant glow and radiance wherever you want. You can also use it on your brow bones, inner conner of your eyes, collarbones, shoulders and décolletage.

If you have any matte blushers or bronzers that you wish were a bit shimmery, what you can do is apply a little of this illuminator over the matte product to add a bit of glitz.

Bourjois delice de poudre bronzing powder in “52″ review, photos and swatches

A chocolate bar I couldn’t resist! This is one of bestsellers by bourjois because girls simply cannot resist chocolate, can they?

Open the box and the smell of sweet chocolate simply tempts you. I got the shade “52″ because it is slightly darker then “51″. The colour is lovely and gives a healthy natural sunkissed glow to the cheeks and is perfect for contouring too. It’s a matte bronzer with very few gold particles “glints of sunshine” that are not noticeable on the skin. It looks matte on the skin and smells of delicious chocolate. This bronzer is light-weight and easy to pop into your make-up bag.

Bourjois effet 3d lip gloss in “46 rose lyric” review, photos and swatches

A beautiful rosy pink color from the Bourjois effet 3d lip gloss range, this is the first one that I picked followed by many more. The beauty of this color is that it makes your lips look innocent, the color may look bright in the tube but as you know the 3d effet glosses by bourjois are very sheer and so they all look very subtle on the lips.

Bourjois Effet 3D lipgloss review, photos and swatches

Bourjois iconic Effet 3D lipgloss has had a makeover for it’s 10th year anniversary with a new formula, new shades and a new sleek packaging! Bourjois has added 6 new shades to the collection so now you have a variety of beautiful colours to choose from.

Delicately fragranced with rose these are pretty looking lipglosses which give a shimmery shine, which is not overly shimmery. The shimmer particles reflect light giving a brilliant shine and making my lips look fuller and juicy. I find the gloss moisturising and not at all sticky because it contains over 92% of hydrating agents whict act like a lip balm. The brush applicator is a beautiful looking delicate glass wand, which helps in easy application of the gloss in just a few strokes. The formula is now paraben-free.
