Bourjois Ombre Stretch Eyeshadow

July 17, 2008 Paris B 9 Comments

I’d used Bourjois eyeshadows before, but were never truly impressed with them. The colours were nice, but the texture was hard. This is possibly due to the fact they are baked. The Bourjois round blushes are worth spending on, but the eyeshadows are hit and miss in my book.

Bourjois has come out with a new eyeshadow though, that looks nothing like their old one.

This one, housed in a rectangular case incorporates nylon microspheres to ensure the colour stretches like fabric. This is so the colour lasts longer. Don’t ask me what that means. I have absolutely no idea! (Read about it if you understand Japanese or read here if you understand French!)

There are 10 colours at present and retail for £5.95 each. I am itching to try the Intense Black 01, Or Extensible 03 and Vert Etirable 05 and maybe Brun Nylon 09. Too bad there’s no Bourjois here in Malaysia. Maybe when I make it down to Singapore and if its available there. Any Singaporeans care to report? 🙂

    I have a translator. Haha.

    THis is the description

    ” Ultra-extensible eye shadow, enriched in nylon microsphères

    The eye shadow Ombre Stretch poses an other glance on the make-up of the eyes. Under its texture powders, elastic, sensual and air, the color models the eyelids. It is posed, stretched, grown blurred with a disconcerting facility!

    The great innovation of the formula lies in the nylon microsphères. These microsphères adhere impeccably to the eyelid, wrap it and marry the form perfectly of it. This elastic and soft powder is equipped with qualities of remarkable behaviour and stump. The expert brush works the matter with virtuosity and reinforces the technicality of the powder.

    The result is flexible: dense with the first passage, it can grow blurred easily then for one finished glossed and luminous.

    Its case with the very modern design hides a panoramic integrated mirror.”

    I saw it in London and tried it out (didn’t buy it though) – up close it’s quite impressive with good pigment. Was sorely tempted to buy the deep emerald green one after trying the tester, but they didn’t have stock… 🙁 worth trying out though!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
