Advantages: Fantastic colour Disadvantages: Pot needs to be stronger!
...to love- and that's the Bourjois Paris Pastel Lumiere Pearl Eye shadow. I think this stuff is popular because it has original looking packaging, and it comes in rather a few funky, bright colours. The 'little round pots', which are characteristic of the eye shadows and blushers, are Bourjois Paris' trademark. They are easily recognised, and so when you see the little round pots, you know you're going to get a good quality product, and a bright and ... ...word 'Regard' and then the Bourjois Paris logo. You can then see the worlds 'Pastel Lumiere- Pearl Eye shadow' and beneath that is the colour and shade information. My favourite pot is the green shade, although this is labelled as 'Iridescent Blue'! It is shade number 49, but trust me- it's bright green! I can't currently find my shade on the website.
The round pot is made of plastic, and appears to be quite sturdy on first inspection. You open ...

...with. Although its good that Bourjois includes this most eye shadows do and this brush really isnt anything special!
Right I am going to stop moaning now! Having said all of that I do actually really like this product! There is a large variety of colour to choose from with this range and there should be a colour to suit everybody! I have one called lilas ( a lilac colour) and one called beige amber ( a beigy brown colour) and both look good when ... ...brown one blends into my skin colour and looks natural.
The eye shadow is easy to apply (if you use something other then the fiddely applicator they give you!) but you do have to put quite a lot on for it to be noticiable. In some ways this is good as you can control what amount you apply more easily but sometimes its just annoying if your in a rush!
To be honest there is no information on the product for me to tell you if it is waterproof or not ...

Advantages: stays put, looks fantastic, amazing mirror and applicator included Disadvantages: there are so many fantastic colours to choose from!!
Bourjois Eyeshadow is one of the best around. I have tried many Bourjois products including their eyeshadow, blusher and mascara and have yet to be disappointed. Some eyeshadows smudge into the creases of your eyes which isn't a good look at all or rub off and leave your eyeshadow looking patchy, but not this one. The eyeshaddow also stays put for a long length of time, which is what you want. This eyeshadow is great for a night out as it won't rub ... ...is roughly £4.99 - £5.99. Bourjois also have a tri-eyeshaddow available which has 3 different colours / tones per pot. There is a slight fragrance to the eyeshadow, which smells lovely! The eyeshadow can be removed with your standard cleanser / make-up remover. I think the packaging is great… with a mirror and applicator brush, what else do you need when you are on the go?
A fantastic buy! I love their other products too and would highly recommend ...

Advantages: easy to apply . Disadvantages: none that I have found
...range of eye shadows by Bourjois are great value for money. The actual range of colours is very impressive. They are very well packaged in that they do not break easily. The shadow is very easy to apply and you do not get that dragging sensation that you can get with other eye shadows. It also has very good staying power so you do not have to keep re-applying the eye shadow. The eye shadow gives a rich matt appearance and comes in a powder formula. ...

Advantages: great color and last Disadvantages: dont' know
This amazing eyeshadow in Beige Rose has lasted me foe ages! There are many different colours in the range but I like this one as it is a little more of a natural and neutral shade than the others. It is a vanilla colour which is a great base on which to apply other eyeshadows or you could leave it on, on it's own to achieve a pale, shimmery effect. It can be also used under the eyebrow to create a great highlighting effect which enhances the eye. ...

Advantages: Beautiful colour range, great staying power. Disadvantages: A bit pricey.
...eyeshadow really good. But, the Bourjois stand caught my eye, lots of dinky little pots of eyeshadow and so many colours too. I decided to treat myself and picked up two pots of eyeshadow, I decided on a neutral colour (beige rose 08) and a lovely dark brown (marron glace 54).
If I remember correctly I payed around £5.00 per eyeshadow 1.5g per pot - which I'll admit is a bit pricey for me!
However, the results proved well worth it as it was easy ... ...although I prefer to use my fingers. I used the two colours, the more neutral colour on my eye lid and the darker colour blended around the eye socket. The staying power is fantastic, whether you are just going to work or if you are going on a night out! I've found it lasts for 12 hours or more. It is very good, it is also suitable for sensitive skin and I found no irritation at all.
Overall, this is a must-have in your make-up bag. Even if you ...

Advantages: Blends great with other colours Disadvantages: Case cracks
I have the Bourjois eye shadow in white, silver, and bronze. They're fantastic! The Price
I bought them all within the last 4 months for around £5 each which I thought was a pretty good price. I've recently seen buy 3 for 2 offers on them too and they're available in lots of different shops (tescos, boots)
The Case
It comes in a round plastic case in the same colour as your shadow with a round mirror which I don't really tend to use, it's really ... ...that was a pretty good Bourjois idea! Keeps it from smudging all over the inside of your bag! It even comes with its own applicator brush although I do think that it could have been tied to the case in some way so that people (like me) don't loose it! One problem with the case is that it does break easily, the hinge on the case tends to crack so make sure you keep it in a place where it doesn't get attacked by brushes and other loose instruments ...

Advantages: easy to apply, once applied lasts all day, range of colours for different occasion Disadvantages: slightly more expensive than other brands
Without the Bourjois make up range i dont think i could survive. There is such a wide range that there's always something new to try. And there are so many different stores that sell Bourjois makeup! e.g. Superdrug and Boots.
I particularly like the Pearl Eyeshadows. There is a wide range of colours to choose from. They are available in natural colours, for the every day use, pastel colours (e.g.blues and pinks) for going out with your friends and ... ...are not cheap, priced at £4.75 per eye shadow. However, i do find they only need applying once a day and last a long time, so you get your moneys worth. The colour is easily applied and only a small amount is needed to achieve a strong colour.
This product is ideal for people needing makeup for any occasions and i believe is aimed at young people. ...

Quick review of Bourjois Pearl Eyeshadow
Fantastic Well Worth Product!!
PRICING- I paid 5 Pounds 75p for my Bourjois product which I found very pleasing as I've used the same colour before and its well worth the price!
CASING- Round, Small, Bright (if you choose bright colour of course!) Right size for all bags and make up cases!
COLOUR- Beautiful with any colour and lasting! More effective if you use with wet so I've been told. No need to use more than twice a day as very pleasing effects!
AVAILABILITY- Bourjois has been about for a long time so I'm sire they will always have the colour of your needs! The colour I wanted was the last one so VERY popular indeed!!
MUST HAVE GIRLIES! I RECOMMEND!! 100%!!! ...

Advantages: It lasts for a long time and good value for money Disadvantages: The case lid always seems to break off!
I have this Bourjois Paris eyeshadow in white and I think it is absolutely fantastic!
I wear this almost everyday and it lasts all day which is great.
I am a big fan of white eyeshadow so I have used many different ones in the past and most of the time, they either come off very easily and don't last or you can hardly see it when it is applied.
I was in superdrug the first time I tried this, I put a little bit on my finger and it was very bright ... ...on my lids. I still didn't buy it because although I loved the result, I just thought that it probably wouldn't last but to my surprise, after having it on for 9 hours, it was still as bright as ever so I went and bought it and I am still using it 2 years on! ...

Advantages: smooth, shiny, lasts Disadvantages: not the cheapest
I love this range of eye shadows. I have been using them for years and you couldn't pay me to change. They look much better than most of the eye shadows on the market and last for a long long time. They may not be the cheapest on the market, but then there are others far more expensive and not half as good. If you are not a fan of shimmer eye shadows then I will forgive you for not loving these, but if you have never tried them, then you should. ...

I was given one of these eyeshadows as part of a present for my 14th birthday, I am currently 18 years old and still have well over half the eyeshadow left. I use it roughly 3 times a week so that will give you a basic idea of how long it lasts. The eyeshadow stays on for a very long time and can be blended with other colours also to give them a pearly effect. I found that it did apply in thin layers, however, and these had to be built up to be noticeable. ... ...which is a cream pearl colour. The range of colours available is not vast, but this can be mastered by blending with other eyeshadow colours from different ranges, which is pretty easy to do and has some very startling effects.
The only other disadvantage of the eyeshadow is the applicator brush is very small and gets clogged up quite easily, i found it very fiddly to use and preffered a larger brush with a bigger handle, although it was good of ...

I love their products, the design of makeup and the quality is very high- for eyeshadows, blusher and powder - all nice texture and perfect shades BUT major problems is that several items I have bought have faulty p and shoddy packaging, once I opened a pot to find absolutely no powder inside- just an empty pot.
