At the end of November I was invited by the wonderful people of Bourjois to a bloggers event at their funky London office to check out the launch of their new and improved Little Round Pots!
Can you believe that Bourjois's little round pots have been around since 1863? Their new formula is hypoallergenic, paraben & fragrance free and the new texture contains mineral pigments making the eyeshadows ideal for sensitive eyes. The silky soft formula is easy to blend and doesn't fade or smudge. What's more the baked powder formula can be used wet to intensify the colour!
At the event, beside being treated to some DELICIOUS food and drinks, the talented Cassie Lomas demonstrated a couple of great looks and techniques using the new Bourjois eyeshadows. There are 22 colours from natural highlighters to cutting edge brights in the range and they have added 8 new shades to fit with season trends! At the end of the day we got to pick 8 little round pots to take home with us! Christmas came early for me that day ;)
These were the colours I chose:
Top L-R: #90, #08, #10 & #93
Top L-R: #90, #08, #10 & #93
Bottom L-R: #11, #74, #13, #4

Swatched Wet (left; natural light - right; with flash)I have swatched Bourjois eyeshadows before in the past but was always a little dissapointed with their pigmentation. However I think the new formula is a huge improvement. Especially when using them wet, they have a real WOW factor to them! Plus when priced at only £5.99 per pot; that's fantastic value for money.
My favourites are:
♥ 08 - Beige Rose Delicate. A gorgeous shimmery cream shade. Very pigmented and smooth, non glittery. Perfect for on the lid or as a brow highlight.
♥ 93 - Tabac Blond. A warm and velvety bronzed gold colour.
♥ 74 - Brun profond. A plum brown eyeshadow with blue accents.
I will aim to post some FOTD looks using these new shades! Have a lovely day! xoxo

i have so many of these little round pots, and i do agree that i have been a tad disappointed in some colours for being quite weak but i'll deffinetly try their new ones :) xo
I feel this brand doesn't get enough love. In fact, Have your tried some of their other products? Their Khol pencil is really great! It's almost a dupe to MAC's Smolder. Smooth , creamy and intense black. I also quite like their blushes! You should give them a try as well :)
Looks like fun! Gorgeous color choices! Lots of love, Roz!

I've always wanted to try this brand out. The shadows look so pretty and cute.
I want to buy these little round pots of eyeshadow, and the blush as well, so bad! They well the 3-D lipgloss here, which I don't find that interesting or good. But these round pots looks amazing and pigmented!
