Hi beauties! I couldn't stop myself and bought Bourjois Smokey Stories eyeshadow quad in shade 02 Over Rose (3.2 g, 13.95 EUR). I picked it up because of the middle shade.
The packaging of it is simple, but I would have liked it to be more compact. It comes with a little applicator, which I have tossed already. I do like that the lid is clear and I can see the shade of the shadows.
Lightest to darkest and in the end there is the middle shade
The shadows feel silky to the touch, except the middle shade which is very glittery and I find its hard to use it. I did try to use it with a wet brush too and it still was hard to get it in place, but I still like it.
The 3 shades around the glittery shadow are with satin finish and so pigmented, also they blend out like a dream. They did last all day on the lid with out creasing (I did use a eye shadow primer before I applied the shadows).
This quad didn't irritate my eyes, which some Bourjois eye products have done so in the past. I'm happy about that, because this quad is stunning and it would be shame if I couldn't wear it.
Overall I'm happy with it. My only complaint is the middle shadow. I would have liked it to apply more even and have not so much fall out. Why can it be like the other 3 shades :/ Anyway its still a good quality quad and I'll keep using it :)
You can find here 8 different Bourjois quads and I have my eye on few of them already :)

I have all of these quads and I love them, so easy to work with x
ReplyDeletethe second shade on the swatch is lovely. a shame about the middle shade but it'd be great to add it to the middle of the eyelid for a subtle glitter, highlighting approach
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning colour collection! This is really pretty.

I love the look of these quads but all the middle shades have seemed a bit iffy when I've searched them in store which is a shame!

Very nice shades, the second on the swatch is my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame the middle one wasn't great, especially as that's the one you got it for - it's such a pretty shade too!
ReplyDeleteThere lovely shades, shame the middle one wasn't that great.

@ Jess - They are very glittery I guess that's make them not as nice as the other shades.
