These are just some swatches, comparisons & opinions on the Bourjois products I hauled recently, shown here.

I didn't include the mascara in this post as I haven't opened it yet.

Bourjois Blusher #54 Rose Frisson

If you have tried any of the Bourjois blushers you will notice a beautiful rose scent when you open it. Out of the 3 Bourjois blushers I own, this one has the strongest smell but it doesn't bother me. This blush is highly pigmented (shown below, swatched directly from the pot) & I would describe it as a satin finish, as there is no obvious shimmer but it is not matte.

 Delice de Soleil bronzing powder


The Delice de Soleil bronzing powder is meant to give a 'delicious natural & radiant tan'. I find the pigmentation is not the best, it took a few swipes for it to show up on my bare arm. It is mainly matte but it does have a few shimmer particles. Originally I wanted the chocolate bronzer but I have not been able to find it online! So I settled for this, which will be my all over bronzer underneath Nars Laguna. The packaging is quite bulky as it includes a brush which is only good to get a really nice definition underneath the cheekbone. The best thing about the packaging is the huge mirror that swivels 180 degrees. Perfect for checking your application in different angles.

Levres Contour Lipliner #11
The Levres Contour lip liner colour I got was in number 11, a beautifully pigmented neutral shade. I love this under MLBB creamy mauves & pinks, or to outline my lips on their own for them to appear bigger. I recommend this pencil for sure!

Healthy Mix Foundation & Concealer
I've also been testing out the Healthy mix foundation & concealer own it's own and by mixing it with other products. From what I've used, I really like these products! The foundation as a similar finish & coverage to my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, but the shade I bought (53) was more of a yellow tone. It actually blends quite well into my skin, though so I'm starting to think I'm neutral-toned.
The concealer in shade 52 is slightly too light to cover blemishes so I've been using it as a under eye concealer with my Maybelline Age Rewind when I want more coverage. It doesn't have a highlighting effect but it is slightly apricot toned which is good for dark circles.

Here I am wearing the foundation on it's own with nothing else.

The concealer on the my right eye only. I think it has made a huge difference! I usually would have a lilac concealer first, then my foundation (which I don't aim to cover under my eyes but a little bit usually always ends up there) and then my concealer. But today it's just the foundation & concealer. I apply directly from the tube under my eye & blend with my fingers to warm it up, a wedge sponge & my Sigma f82 Round Kabuki brush.

So, that's basically the products, I am happy with them all except with the pigmentation of the bronzer. I cannot wait to try the rotating mascara!

Have you tried any Bourjois products, and what are your faves?

Oh & you have probably noticed that I changed my blog, I made it look more simpler & cleaner, what do you think? Or is it too boring? I like that it doesn't look as "busy" and my header fits in to the background, haha. 

Have an amazing weekend!
