Bourjois Highlighting Powder - Poudre Illuminatrice

Product review time!


I heard so much about the Bourjois chocolate style products and being a white chocolate loveruvauva I thought I would try the Highlighting powder. Also, not owning a highlighter I thought this would be a good purchase. I bought mine off Ebay for about £6.


Upon receiving it I was so excited to smell it and see if it does really smell like white chocolate! All I can say to everyone who has said this is- what white chocolate have you been smelling? To me this smells nothing like chocolate- just very powdery! So this was a major disappointment to me.


There is a lot of product for your money, so in this respect it is a really good purchase. To highlight I would just put my finger in and apply to areas such as my cheeks. I found with a brush I didn't see any highlight to my face. When you swatch with your finger you get quite a good amount of product but for some reason it doesn't transfer to your face.


I don't want to write a bad review but I was a little disappointed with this product. As I said for the money you can't complain at how much product you get but if you want a strong visible highlighter then this isn't really the one for you. But if you want a subtle highlighter then I would say this would be a good product!

Glossy Box- April- Earth day edition!

This is my review of this months Glossybox! It was in relation to Earth Day. So all the products are organic!

5 products this month, with 3 full size products in here! This is my first GB, I was a loyal subscriber to Carmine so as you all know they are no longer around, so thought I would try these guys! On with the products!

CAUDALIE- Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
This is a 10ml sample size but no way is this true, squeezing the bottle and only once I'm nearing the bottom do I see any product coming out. Used this last night, my mum loved it! However I'm not really sold, partly due to the lack of product. But my skin does feel soft this morning! So this is kind of a hit and miss for me I'm afraid.

KAI- Perfume Oil

Gutted. Half full. An what a rubbish size sample! It's not even worth it. I don't like the smell its far too strong and floral for my personal taste. With other beauty boxes I have experienced this would of been classed as an added bonus product! This one is a thumbs down for me.

FIGS AND ROUGE- Lip Balm in Rambling Rose
This is good, beautiful packaging! An lip balm is always usable. Not too keen on the smell/taste I have it in though as others seem to have much nicer ones! But I can always use this so thats great! Perfect size to take with me on my Holidays! It says you can use it on your face also/skin in general but I don't think I'll be doing that! OH! It's full size by the way! Full Size £3.29 (What an odd price!)

AYUURI- In Sandalwood
Happy to see this, great size product, full size YAY. Smell is quite nice looks like it could be really moisturising. I can't wait to try this out. You can never go wrong with body wash. Full Size £4.95.

INIKA- Black eyeliner
Glad to see this, lovely make up product I will always use eyeliner. Can't go wrong! Happy to see I got black as it is a useful colour. This is also full size £11.75. I'll show the swatches now.

Thin line- one stroke.
Fatter line- building it up.


Overall I'm happy with my box but not thrilled, I've had better, but I love the theme and the box itself. For me what let it down was the perfume sample. When seeing what other people got, this seems a little tight. But there we go! Win some you loose some. I don't think I will be getting another Glossy box. I'm awaiting the new mysteries LUXBOX. An considering going back to She Said Beauty. However I'm debating whether these boxes are worth the money. But hey, its fun right?!
