Bourjois Sweet Kiss Naturel Lipstick:
The packaging I found was very similar to the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks. Same square cover but it has a cute button at the side. You just have to press it and slip the lipstick towards the bottom.

06 Rose Tendre : It’s a true peach colour. Very similar to the Revlon Colorburst Lipstick – Peach

02 Peche Voluptueuse : Peach shade with orange undertones.
05 Prune Caresse : It’s a reddish wine colour
03 Rose Sensual : It’s a warm rosy pink colour.
04 Fuchsia Ardent : It’s not a true fuchsia colour. I would say it’s more of a brighter pink shade.ย It’s not even so bright enough to be termed as fuchsia.
09 Sienne Kiss : It’s a soft brown colour. Might be a MLBB shade for a lot of women with deep wheatish complexion.

10 Acajou Doux : It’s a brown colour with reddish undertones
07 Framboise Exquise : It’s a pink with reddish undertones
08 Rose Delicat : It’s a brown shade with pink undertones.
01 Rouge Soyeux : Wine colour with brown undertones
French Manicure Rose Naturel : Rs 630
This si a pretty manicure set. The pastel coloured base coat, the transparent top coat and baby pink coat for the tips.
Bourjois Elastic Mascara : Rs 550
Bought it and it is going into the bin in a few days. ๐ I tried it as soon as I bought it and it stung my eyes as if I have put some alcoholic stuff on my lashes. Within a minute or two the stinging sensation was gone and my eyes were fine. After a few hours I touched my eyes and my lashes came in contact with my eyes again. I felt the same stinging sensation. ๐ Later I washed my eyes and my eyes looked blood shot. The mascara is waterproof because it didn’t start running when I splashed water on my face. I anyway had to remove it quickly with olive oil. Washed my eyes again, put eye drops and after that my eyes were back to normal.
There are no ingredients mentioned on the tube so I did a google search and found out that it has some extract from the rubber plant. Guess that particular ingredient is not suiting my eyes.ย Would give it another try after a few days. ๐
Also the elastic mascara promises 130% longer lashes. It’s a joke.
Bourjois Rose Exclusif Lip gloss : Rs 525
It’s a transparent gloss that adapts into the PH of your lips. It will be different colour on each woman. Would be fun to try . ๐ Has anyone of you tried it?
Bourjois Sculpting Brush : RS 500
This is a cutie pie cheek sculpting brush. I didn’t find it super soft but it wasn’t scratchy either.
I found the lipsticks best among the lot. they looked very moisturizing, creamy and had no shimmer. The colours are great for most Indian skin tones with a good collection of peaches, pinks and browns. Wish I had picked up a lipstick instead of a mascara. ๐
Oh..bad mascara ๐ Too bad..yup me too thinking the lipsticks look much nicer. Just curious..why are these brushes shaped this way..have seen similar shaped brushes..didn’t know what they are used for :idk:
You know I am going to stick with high end mascaras only now. ๐ Was just curious to try it . 500 bucks gone into the drain within a day. ๐
These brushes are used for contouring. It fits in the contours of the cheeks well and gives a precise application. If you do contouring with a bigger brush it i s likely that you application might go above or below than it should actually be.
You pik up brushes according to the areas on your face. A bigger area would need a bigger brush- say your powder brush is pretty big. For cheeks you need bigger area to cover but not as big as the full face. So your blush brush is thinner than powder brush so that the application is precise and does not go all over. Same goes for eyes. For a full wash of colour you may use a dense brush but if you need colour only on the inner corner, you would need a thinner brush. so on and so forth..
Hmmmm..ya kind of made sense yup..tx. I feel bad too when I buy something cos its cheaper and then it doesnt work out…try out 3 like these and you wasted enough money to buy a higher end one na.
yeah. I even read some reviews today and there are barely any good reviews. I only wish i had one this before. ๐
You remember the light alcoholic sensation you feel when you apply clinique clarifying lotion, felt the same.
Ohh..strange to have that sensation in an eye product!!
That’s why I was wondering if it has some alcoholic content in it. No ingredients mentioned..
Not even on the box…errr..did it come in a box?
no…only the tube.
i’m intrigued about the missing lipstick tips! :sidefrown:
sad that the mascara didn’t work for you.
i like the lipgloss brush. the bristles look short and sturdy.
looove the rose tendre shade! what’s their price?
Those are testers ๐ No idea. ๐
rs 660
Aaawww I’m loving…”09 Sienne Kiss …soft brown colour” .. its going straight to my Buy List ๐ thanks for this Rati..
Most welcome, SuGE. I think each one of us can safely pick atleast one shade from this collection. It’s lovley. ๐
Rima..me too..don’t they like some rat nibbled on them!
yeah! did the assistants bite into them while using them? ๐
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
Wondering why I never bothered to ask the assistant about it. :-/
Ewww!!! Gross!! :sick:
if the colorburst peach and this rose blah blah are so similar, i would choose the colorburst. gosh i’m so in love with them. i will definitely get another shade.
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
yup, very similar. I just find them a little expensive for a drugstore brand. The quality looked excellent. he he , we are all becoming colorburst lippies fans. They are better than maybelline color sensationals. ๐
yes definitely.
but! no matter what is said about the colorbursts, applying the colorsensational is so very comforting! it’s like i’m applying a balm. my lips fall into this deep, beautiful sleep. i feel like applying the lipstick again and again and again…
.-= Rima Kaur´s last blog ..Beneath The Smiles =-.
you got all poetic about the lipstick.. :laugh: :laugh:
Now you are ewwwing…I am so not going to shake hands when we meet – just tell Sanjeev to pack up all the gifts you are planning on giving me….put it in a bag…then when we meet you can empty them into my bag without touching anything ๐ Oh wait..Sanjeev is the pet cockroach guy..ohhhh no…
I am going to hug you and clean my hands “behind your back” . :evilgrin: And I’ll make Sanjeev’s pet cockroach kiss all the products I am going to gift you. :vampire:
:-(( Have to think of something :struggle:
Got it…I will meet you right after you hug Jomol…as for the gifts…oh let it it kiss I don’t care – am not seeing naaaa…as long as its not sitting on it.
you just gave me an idea. I’ll make it sit on it. :devil:
:rotfl: :rotfl:
I have tried a lip gloss similar to rose exclusif…it’s from Smashbox called o-gloss…does change to a nice pink color once applied…the pink is diff on each person! Sadly, it goes off in sometime though ๐ might get this one n try it ๐
it’s quite intriguing no? ๐
very ๐ there are some pretty good reviews for this one too ๐
ahh!! I am still in my lipsticks mode so didn’t bother to pick it up. But this looks a great deal for people who love to wear glosses. ๐
:inlove: :inlove: Lovved the lipsticks!!! It’s the first time that I loved all the shades at one go….. :inlove:
Sad bout the mascara though… :-((
The gloss would be fun to try… And of course safe.. ๐ ๐ ๐
Lipsticks are really good. Even the shades are so wearable and easy to pick. Most of them have brown peachy undertones that would compliment Indian complexions so well.
YEah gloss is the safest deal. You almost know what colour it would turn out to be. ๐
lovely lipstick shades, my kinda warm colours :), altho I agree 660 is rather pricey. Too bad abt the mascara, I hate it when the pdt doesnt work as expected :pain:
I didn’t realize that there was no ingredient list mentioned. Mots high end mascaras come in a box with full list of ingredients mentioned so I thought this one must have some active ingredients mentioned on the tube itself. Nothing. 55o bucks gone within a day. :((
Lipsticks looked really nice. Pigmented, creamy and great shades. ๐
Actually all their packaging is so cute.
Yup. They know what would tempt women to buy their stuff. ๐
The lipsticks are really nice !!!! yeah 660 bucks is pricey but Bourjois is not a low end brand price-wise…its priced quite mid-way…
I was quite excited abt the elastic mascara when I saw it on their site and on some other blogs..sad it didnt work…
The gloss is really interesting….only thing is u cant be sure wht color it will turn out on ur lips ๐
yeah but they have some really good price for their eye pencils and lip pencils no a-around 200 bucks. So I was wondering why lipsticks are so expensive. But I think even f0r 660 they would be totally worth it.
Actually HD, it might work for a few people but I think that some ingredient in the mascara didn’t suit my eyes in particular.
Yeah gloss is more of a collector’s item. Fun to have in your collection. ๐
frankly I dont hv a single product from Bourjois…I am eyeing their blush #33 which I’ve heard is a dupe of the famous Nars one and the smoky eye trio in pink !!
I quite liked their blushes and the trios !!
Their blushes are really good HD. Only that after a few months the top gets a little hard so you just scrape the top with brush that comes along with it and they look as new as ever. Totally worth the money.
Their trios are not very pigmented but are build able. Quality again is good. ๐
u hv 1 in a brown shade right? I hv startd really liking blushes lately ๐
I sold it to Ki. ๐ It gives her a sun kissed look. ๐
Rati I was waiting for this mascara and gloss… So excited to see them ๐ and price is ok too ๐ Might go and get it soon but hesitating as my sis sent me loads of stuff just now :inlove:
Aarthi, the mascara might suit you. It just didn’t suit me, that’s about it. And can you believe the claim that you can get lashes 130% long? My lashes would be going above my eyebrows in that case. :rotfl: :rotfl:
You and your lip glosses. If you are picking it up, the review is coming soon then. :laugh:
Ok then ill try the mascara at the store and 130% he he he ๐
Lip gloss.. I really can’t let this go ๐ Once I get it review will come up for sure ๐
Bad Mascara !!!!! Dropping it then ๐
The SA showed me the mascara . Thank God I din get it. What is the price of the Lipsticks?
660 is the price. ๐ I want to bang my head in the wall for not picking up the lipstick . ๐
Loving so many of these shades! :inlove: I’m quite hopeful of finding my HG rose shade from here. But they are a bit pricey though. Someone please do a review!
Nice Avatar, Sonal. ๐
You’d find a lot of pretty shades in this. ๐
Thanks Rati, about the avatar. This is the result of my “hot mama makeover” ๐ Can’t wait to check out the lippies.
Sonal, your looking gorgeous!!
he he …I think all of us on IMBB would make hot mamas. ๐
Let me know what shades would you be picking Guess you would be the one doing the review. ๐
the peach lippy is amazing
u know yest i saw my play boy lipstick form australia also has packaging like maybelline color sensational. only that play boy has a rabby at the end but the cover is just same
oh!! I kind of like this packagaing. Gives a good big feeling about the lipstick. he eh e:P
i think the Sienne Kiss n Prune Caresse(reddish wine) lipstick shades r the best in the lot..
n sorry for a very bad exp wid tht mascara rati.. ๐ dont try it again nw..
Yup they are pretty shades. ๐
I want to give it another try. I am regretting the purchase so much. ๐
I love those lippies Rati..but too bad the mascara didnt work for you. I was waiting for the launch all curious abt the elastic part n all..LOL
Im liking Rose Delicat a lot ๐
The colours are weally weally good. Something for everyone kinds. ๐
MA has a rating of 1.8 on 5 for this. I want to kill myself for purchasing this .
do you know that bourgois products are made by chanel? chanel quality at a much cheaper price lol. i love bourgois lipglosses and they are one of the few brands to have decent brush applicators!
have you tried max factor masterpiece mascara? that is excellent stuff
I am aware that they are a part of same french cosmetic group. ๐ May be that’s the reason most bourjois products are so good.
Found this little info on net :
Bourjois is a French cosmetics brand founded in 1863 by Monsieur Alexandre Napoleon Bourjois, with the invention of the first powder blush, Pastel Joues.
In 1924 Coco Chanel approached Pierre Wertheimer, the then owner of Bourjois, to help a her create Parfums Chanel. A deal was struck where Chanel would recieve 10% of the profits, and Bourjois 90%. Parfums Chanel was a big success – Coco had practically given away the most lucrative side of her business. A decision she would come to regret.
Nowadays, Bourjois and the Wertheimer familly own and control all of the Chanel business.
Not tried yet. Mrunmayee gave it an excellent review. Should have picked that up instead. but curiosity kills. ๐
hmmm..i am also liking the sound of the color changing gloss. :drool: :drool: :drool: . and Ratu is that the colorbar shimmer topcoat on your nails??? :-)) :-)) :-))
.-= fathima´s last blog ..Makeup Blunders =-.
That’s really exciting thing to try. ๐
Yup, have cut my nails short these days and wearing only colorbar’s shimmer top coat. M, recommended it and I am thoroughly loving it. ๐
You know my closest friends call me Ratu. :-*
