Review & Swatches of Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Heures

4/23/2017

Hey girls!

Spring is here, maybe, i think so. Anywho, I've been swatching some lipsticks over the weekend and I can't get over how pretty these Reds lipsticks are by Bourjois Paris they released Bourjois Rouge edition 12 Heures recently and we were lucky enough to get 4 shades of their collection to review and swatch for you guys on our blog by Team Bourjois Middle East.

What they say about Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Heures:

BOURJOIS’ ROUGE EDITION 12HR LIPSTICK IS A MAKE-UP BAG ESSENTIAL MADE WITH A LONG-LASTING, SILKY FORMULA FOR 12HR WEAR WITHOUT THE NEED TO REAPPLY!

The pure laque pigments create intense colour in a semi-matte finish.The formula is non-drying and enriched with shea butter for extreme comfort, leaving your lips feeling soft and extra moisturized!

Packaging:

Bourjois Rouge Edition has a black case with red cubicles at the bottom resembling the lipstick shade they hold.These can be kept upside down for easy reference when you need them or right side up if you're all OCD like me. It's got a easy twist-able base like your average lipstick. I love how the bar codes are shaped in a different manner compared to the typical bar codes, Cute.
The black cap fits on well and doesn't budge or fall off unnecessarily so travel friendly.

The Shades:

Team Bourjois sent us 4 shades :43 Rouge your Body, 44 Red-Belle, 45 Red outable, 46 Burgund it.

Yup, we are equally in love with there names, so perfect and relatable to their actual shade.

Sneak peak at the shades?

We'll go through them one by one , scroll on:

Swatches you ask? There you go.

Overall Review:
Since all of these are made of the same formula and I've used and loved all of them I'm writing an overall review about them. First, the formula not glossy not matte it's in between, a very lovely decent formula for people who don't like hassle. As for the long lasting part - this lipstick can stay put for a really long time, through meals chatter and just the whole working day basically. Plus the variety of colors are apt and so many that they'd suit any skin tone I feel but you should go to the sales counter and try it before purchasing but I'm pretty sure you'll find the perfect one for you.

Everyone has a favorite right? This one below is mine - Burgund'it!

Hope you all liked our review and swatches of these ahmaaazing lippies and hope you'll all try them real soon!

Till the next post,

Love,

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation & Correcting Concealer

11/26/2016

Hey Girls,

You know those days when your skin just doesn't feel too great and you have to head out of the house but you can't cuz even that foundation you've been using for years won't make your skin look any better either? Well we think we just found the solution for those days! Today we will be reviewing one of the most natural and lightweight foundation and Concealer we've received by the amazing Team at Bourjois Middle East. The Healthy Mix Foundation and Correcting concealer, p.s it claims to have Anti-Fatigue properties! Just the sound of it makes one feel so fresh already! So, shall we begin?

What they claim about the The Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer?

The Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer is also created from a fruit therapy formula to give you the anti-fatigue action you need!

·Rich in fruit- Raspberry for its microcirculation activator benefits, Apricot for radiance and Melon for hydration.

What they claim about the The Healthy Mix Foundation?
To achieve a dream complexion, 70% more radiant on application*,the Healthy Mix Foundation formula is:

·Rich in fruit- Apricot for radiance,Melon for hydration and Apple for its antioxidant benefits.
·Crystalline pigments- Evens out the complexion and lets natural light through the skin
· Anti-oxidising- Vitamin E derivative
*tested on 21 women

Our thoughts on the packaging?

It's lovely as you can see super travel friendly sized, both the concealer and the foundation bottle. The foundation bottle has a pump that let's out just the right amount in each pump. The Healthy mix correcting concealer had a diagonal opening that could easily spread the concealer on the targeted area. It comes in a squeezable tube so you can control the amount of product you want in a time.

Review:
So we tried out the healthy mix on our wrist to show you guys their concealing ability. I've used it to conceal a long lasting eye liner as you can see below and it pretty much did the job for me. It works great on covering red marks and slight pimples, and equalizes our un even skintone. I applied the concealer first and then the foundation to see how much of a concealing power the healthy mix correcting concealer has, You can see the results for yourself. I was impressed by it honestly. It also gave the healthy glow in the end, not to over powering but subtle enough to wake up your skin. Oh and it also gave a smooth finish.

Drop on concealer.

Spread it over the concerned parts.

Blend it all.

Healthy Correcting Concealer comes in 3 natural shades to reveal a fresh and healthy look:
- #51 Eclat clair
- #52 Eclat medium
- #53 Eclat foncé

Blend it all over equally.

If you feel you need to add another drop do that.

Healthy Mix Foundation offers just the right balance of yellow and pink undertones to reveal the freshness of the complexion. Available in 8 light-filled radiant shades:

- #51 Vanille clair

- #52 Vanille

- #53 Beige clair

- #54 Beige

- #55 Beige foncé

- #56 Hâlé clair

- #57 Hâlé

- #58 Hâlé foncé

Oh and it's waterproof as well, as you can see below:

How is it priced?

Healthy Mix Foundation – 99 AED / BD. 9.900

Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer – 58 AED / 57 SAR / BD. 5.800

Where is it Available? Wojooh, www.wojooh.com, Lifestyle, MAX and Boots across the Middle East!

Overall, I loved how it sticks to it's claims of giving everyone a healthy glow! Those of you looking for a natural healthy finish foundation should definitely give this a try! For me, it's worth it and I'd repurchase! If you girls have any more questions regarding this, leave us a comment and we'll get back to you ASAP!

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.

Price & Availability:

These are priced at the following rates- Foundation: AED79 - SAR81 and Concealer: 65 AED -69 KSA and are available at - Wojooh, www.wojooh.com, Lifestyle, MAX and Boots
