BOURJOIS 'Little round pots'

I bought this gorgeous little pot of eyeshadow today. It's in the cutest vintage inspired round pot. I just had to share it with you all. For a limited time they will come in parisian inspired pots. "Bourjois has teamed up with the artist and illustrator Nathalie Lété to celebrate the brand’s Parisian heritage with the limited edition collection Rendez-vous à Paris. Each pot in this colourful, romantic and playful collection has its own unique design celebrating famous Parisian landmarks.

The collection, Rendez-vous à Paris, Bourjois celebrates the treasures of its birthplace, the source of inspiration for its collections and creativity. Paris is all about French romance and glamour; a city full of history and surprises, with its cutting-edge designers and unforgettable landscape. But most of all, Paris is a city of two passions – love and fashion." (Quoted from http://www.bourjois.com.au/) 

The 'Little round Pot" eyeshadow range as a wide variety of gorgeous colours to choose from. I picked up 08 'Beige Rose' a shimmery gold skin toned colour. The shimmer is soft, luminous and blendable.  Its a baked formula inside a cute little pot with intergrated mirror and applicator.

They have a huge range of colours, from the dark and sultry Noir Precieux (#07 black) to the gorgeously iridescent Blanc Diaphane (#90 Silver/ highlighter)

For an intense look you can apply it wet and reveal the full pearly and pigmented effect.

Little Round Pot comes in pearly, glittery, irridescent and matte effects.

Product Review: Loreal Excellence Creme

Product Review:

Loreal Excellence Creme
Colour: Black 1

After years of being a brunette I decided to go back to black (pardon the Amy Winehouse pun) I've used a lot of colourants and none of them I was truelly 100% happy with. I've used Loreal before, but not the Excellence Creme range. I had heard a lot of good things about it by others so I gave it a go.

What they state & What I thought:

• It covers 100% greys - I have a family history of greying young, so this was important to me, I dont have a lot of grey, but in my late 20's ive got enough to bother me and want to cover it up. Did it cover the greys, YES it did & quite easily too. I was very impressed.
• The protective serum cares for damaged parts of the hair - It came with a cute little tube of fabulous smelling serum that you apply to your lengths and ends before colouring. Did it work? well it seemed to. The ends of my hair feel like just after its been cut, all soft and smooth. Jusst like a trip to the hairdressers.
• Creme colourant is easly to apply - Yes it was. It came with 2 applicator tips, a thin nozzle and a combe tip. The nozzle was great for the roots & then appling the colourant to the lenghts with the combe applicator made it a breeze. There was absolutly no drips. I didnt cover my shirt durring colouring and I had absolutly no colour on my clothing or anywhere else in the bathroom for that matter.

Other Points:

• The smell was actually quite pleasent, it didn't over power you like some colourants do as soon as you open the bottle. Even after colouring my hair didnt have that 'just coloured' smell.
• Being Black it did stain the skin a little but came off very easily with a light shampoo. Now you can't even tell I coloured my hair this morning.
• The colour is rich and glossy. Im very impressed with the shine. There is no muddiness at all.
• The colour actually matched the packet.
• There was plenty of colourant in there to cover all my hair, which is just above my shoulders. If you have longer hair you will probably need 2 bottles just to be sure

The Score (out of 5)

Colour : 5

Ease of Use: 5
Cover Greys: 5
Smell: 4
