Review: Bourjois Paris Smoky Eyes - 06 Violet Romantic

I might be a little bit biased to this eye shadow trio. Why? Because it is purple and my all time favorite colour is purple and  therefore I just tend to love things a little bit more when they are purple.

I had been lusting for the Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes for some time, but I never was really sure if I needed more eye shadows. After looking at it almost every time I went to the make up store I decided to go for it! Not so shockingly I picked the shade 06 Violet Romantic.  

At first glance the colours were amazing. I really was looking forward to such a bright purple hue. Sadly I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the colours are great. I like the eye shadows I was just expecting so much more from how they looked, both from the advertisements and from how the eye shadow itself looks in the little box. The dark shade, is more black than purple and the medium and light shades are almost identical.

I will definitely keep on using them but not as a statement eye shadow like I was expecting. I don't think I will be using the little brush that comes with it and I do think that that little brush is both a waste of space and material. 

All in all, even with some flaws I do like the eye shadows. I think I just went in with too much hope of super pigmented purple eye shadow that would rock my world but in reality it is just a normal eye shadow that can easily be used during the day. 

I didn't find any store in the US that sells this colour but boots in UK does sell it.

Review: Yves Rocher Couleurs Nature Single Eyeshadows

I wanted to review all my make up before I go out and buy some more. There are couple of reasons for this, first of all I want to be able to link them up whenever I use them and I want to write more reviews. I want to start with these four eye shadows. I decided to put them all together in one post because they are all the same model just different colours.

I've posted about these eye shadows a lot (here, here and here). I can truthfully say that I do like these eye shadows.

The colours that I have are 

63 - Bleu Volubilis 

52 - Turqouise Réséda

51 - Vert Absinthe

11 - Fleur d'orange

They are super colourful and they last forever! These are my usual go to eye shadows. I am pretty sure I'll buy some more of them when I buy more make-up!

These can be bought from Yves Rocher for $8.00 a piece!
