Review: Bourjois City Radiance & Radiance Reveal

8/18/2016

Assalamalaikum Ladies,

How are you all doing? We hope you're enjoying your Summer unlike us where we're stuck with office work and last coping with college deadlines, bleh! Anywho, moving on..So we got two super fun products from Bourjois; Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer & Bourjois City Radiance Foundation. Sounds exciting yeah? Let's jump to their Review now!

What they claim about Radiance Reveal? (The Concealer)

A concentrated moisturizer that hides dark circles...or a concealer that hydrates like a skin care product, it's as you want! The objective? An even, smoothed eye contour, with hidden blemishes.

· Corrects

· Illuminates

· 24hr hydration

Our Review:
Ok so we love how to cute this is, it's a little cuboid glass bottle with a very easy wand applicator! It would be perfect to carry around in your little "essentials" beauty bag. Moving to the product itself, I found the concealer very light weight which they claim, so that's great! I did however feel like one application didn't give much coverage so I decided to apply again & the results were much better. It did give a little Cakey feeling though but not an over-drying effect . I love how it has Mont Blanc Glacier water and hyaluronic acid added to it, it sure gave a luxurious feel. It also did give a illuminating effect which is a plus point. I, however, felt my skin a little oily after a few hours, so it didn't give much a matte look, but then powder'ing up will probably tone down that effect. Over all I liked the product and will definitely keep on using it. Also I'd like how it had ample product in the bottle.

Instructions:

Apply by tapping gently the dark circle or blemish gently with the foam tip, then lightly blur with the finger.

Exactly what the fine and fragile eye contour area needs to fight the first sign of fine wrinkles caused by dehydration.With Mont Blanc glacier water and hyaluronic acid.

It is available in 3 shades to hide bluish or pinkish dark circles depending on your complexion.

- 01 Ivory

- 02 Beige

- 03 Dark Beige

What they claim about City Radiance?(The Foundation):

The fresh water flower fragrance, and 6 radiant and fresh shades that make the complexion glow and leave skin feeling plump!

- Anti pollution screen

- SPF 30

- Radiance-boosting pigments

Our Review:

I've used this more than a few times now and I feel it's safe to say it's great for everyday use, it's super light weight doesn't feel like there's a full base foundation on your face, but it coverage and lasts long. It Smells wonderful! I loveeee how it has sunscreen for someone like me who has a lot of work outside as well as in the office, it's perfect since work can get super hectic and no one honestly remembers to put on sunscreen, at least I don't ! It gives a brightening effect to your skin immediately. The texture is comparable to a BB cream but a giving more coverage than a BB cream plus it has sunscreen, so yeah! I love how it has an Anti-pollution screen that's a pretty unique feature in a foundation.

This is enriched with coated pigments, which create an affinity with the skin; They provide a perfect hold throughout the day and boost the natural radiance of the skin.

City Radiance’s light and airy formula hydrates the skin continuously for 24 hours while protecting it from aggressive urban factors. The bonus? A texture that lets the skin breathe, so comfortable that you even forget it's on. With its anti-pollution screen, City Radiance helps the possibility of carbon particles settling on the skin and provides a bare skin finish.

Even without the strong sunshine in winter and spring, UVA rays, responsible for premature ageing of the skin and pigmentation spots, still remain. It is especially important to protect the skin as pollution increases the damaging effects of UV rays. With an SPF 30 sun protection factor and UVA protection (PA+++), this foundation upholds the skin's radiance.

It is available in 6 Fresh shades for a radiant complexion

· 01 Rose Ivory

· 02 Vanilla

· 03 Light Beige

· 04 Beige

· 05 Golden Beige

· 06 Golden Sun

We give Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer a ☆☆☆ out of 5 stars and Bourjois City Radiance a ☆☆☆☆ out of 5 Stars.

Review: Rimmel MAGNIF’EYES 2-in-1 Double Liner

7/28/2016

Today , I'm very happily reviewing a product that has become my favorite really quickly and you'll have to scroll below to find out why!

What They Claim?
Magnify your eyes in 2 easy, mistake-proof steps to make a lasting impression at any occasion with our new 24 HR 2-in-1 shadow and kohl liner! The new Magnif’eyes double liner is ultra long-lasting, 24HR, waterproof, crease proof, transfer proof formula will stay put all day. The Magnif’eyes double liner creates endless combinations with our highly pigmented double ended stay true shadow and kohl kajal liner; from matte to shimmer to pearly finishes.

Packaging:

I love it! It's super convenient , travel friendly and easy to use nothing complicated about it and simplicity wins!

Review:

First things first, the eye shadow part was a little tricky for me as the shade is pretty dark and it's a cream formula and super pigmented so applying that was a little issue for someone like me who is used to using only powder / pressed eye shadows, but nevertheless I tried it and it stayed on and was super pigmented so they claimed absolutely correct. The Kohl on the other hand was super easy to glide on the waterline as well as along the eyelash line because the texture is just so perfect I love it and it's super pigmented as I said and it stayed on for hours at end without budging, therefore I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a super pigmented color kohl as well as the true shadow. I also remember squinting my eyes and it did not transfer or create any messy creases! But I can't say about the 24 hours part because I honestly can't wear make up for that long but it lasted longer than my other eye products which satisfied my condition of long lasting.

Swatches: Super pigmented on both ends I love it and these below are just in one swatch!

The Shades are as shown (L-R):

- Shade 001: Back to Blacks

- Shade 002: Kissed by a Rose Gold

- Shade 003: Queens of the Bronzed Age

- Shade 004: Dark Side of Blue

- Shade 005: Pink & Purple rain

Price & Availability: 45AED or 45 SR or BD 4.500/- only for a 2 in 1 product that's a great bargain!At all Lifestyle, Max, Boots, Carrefour outlets in the Middle East. It's been on counters from April 2016.

Recommended- 5/5 Stars because it meet's our expectations.

Review: Bourjois Rouge Edition Souffle de Velvet

7/14/2016

Assalam Alaikum Ladies,

Today we're writing all about a wonderful range of hybrid lip colors (liquid lipstick & ligloss) introduced to us by sweet Ms. Claudia on behalf of Bourjois and to know our thoughts about it without further a due let's begin:

Packaging: Is beautiful if you ask me , I'm in love with the bottles. As you can see below, it has a frosted matte lacquered bottle, conjuring up the veil of color on the lips.

What they claim?

Bourjois creates Rouge Edition Souffle de Velvet,Matte colour veil, Blushed lips effect. The new sheer matte effect on your lips. Elegant, discreet... a matte that’s easy to wear Rouge Edition Souffle de Velvet never compromises between colour and comfort.
Enriched with hydration-guarding agents, its velvety formula gives a soft sensation with up to 10-hour hydration..
A fine and smooth veil is applied on the lips with a light, silky texture, a real bare lips sensation. The light as air matte effect is born!

Review:

Alright, so when we saw this online we were pretty confused why it's called sheer matte color veil and a veil of softness without compromising color and comfort. It's light as air matte version that they claim is so true!
It actually is a lighter version of matte.
What I really like about it is that it gives a fresh makeup look instantly especially the lighter shades they're perfect for no makeup makeup kind of days and it's super long lasting , they claim it holds for up to 10 hours I'd give it a 6-7 hrs.
They also claimed its fragrance is of blueberries and violet I felt mine smelled like peach lol no idea how that happened but you know it's not annoying it's a subtle scent.
It feels super light on the lips not heavy in texture at all not sure if you can see it in the swatches.

Swatch after water wash.

Available in the following fresh and bright shades:

01. Orangélique. A fresh and energizing orange for a diabolically angelic smile.

02. Coquelic’oh!. A very dense and bold orange red.

03. VIPeach. Neither orange, nor pink, this coral makes the lips peachy soft.

04. Ravie En rose. A charming and delicate pink for kissable lips... give in to the temptation... laugh!

05. Fuchsiamallow. Deep and intense pink enhanced by a hint of blue to give all its sweetness and bite.

06. Cherryleaders. The red of the range: a very luscious and dashing cherry red.

07. Plum Plum Pidou. Addicts of bold colors can sleep soundly. They will be delighted with this light-as-a-feather plum.

08. Carameli Melo. A subtle alchemy of nude, brown and pink for a shade that will make you lose your composure!

Pricing and Availability:

These beauties are priced at BD 8 each in Bahrain, AED 79 in UAE and SAR 79 in Saudi Arabia.
They've been available in the Middle East since May 1st at Wojooh,Lifestyle, Max and Boots outlets. In case you think online shopping is easier its available at www.wojooh.com
