Bourjois

The end of a super busy Wednesday last week found me at the Pink House at 32 Scollard Street in Yorkville - home to Jeanne Lottie's fabulous line of handbags as well as the setting for the Bourjois Paris fall makeup launch and event - oh la la!  The place was packed full of ladies in a handbag shopping frenzy but things were a little bit calmer on the rooftop deck which is where the Bourjois display was set up.














The lovely Daphne - who is even prettier when she's not having her picture taken by a terrible photographer (me) - was on hand and gave me a fabulous makeover using the new fall colours!

















Bourjois Paris Barock - releasing October 1st at select Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix and Murale stores.  Here's what you'll find in the collection:
Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in Brun Irréel #05 and Marron Glacé #54 - $17
Liner Pinceau Gold in Or Néo-classique - $20 - limited edition available only until December - I don't usually love liquid liner but I loved the way it looked when Daphne used it on me!  And gold is so festive, this will be great for the holidays!
Volume Clubbing in Ultra Black #75 - $20
Sweet Kiss in Brun Orné #52 - $18
Little Rouond Pot Blush in Brun Cuivré #03 - $19 - this was my favourite item from the collection - it gave me such a natural pretty flush that I could use as a blush or even to add a sunkissed look all over!
So Laque! nail Polish in Noir de Chine #30 - $10 - whoever invented black polish is a freaking genius!

Is there anything worse then reaching into your purse to grab your lipstick for a touch up and discover that the cap has come off and you now have lipstick all over everything? Yuck!


Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani - $38 - available in 36 regular and seasonal colours. Not only is this case practical for it's magnetic staying closed properties, but it looks sleek and gorgeous too!  I amused myself for far longer then is likely normal taking the cap off and putting it back on again - you'll have to try it yourself to see how strangely compelling it is... Available at Holt Renfrew.







Bourjois Paris Sweet Kiss Lipstick - $18 - available in 14 shades.  I must admit that the first one I had my hands on one of these I couldn't figure out how to open it - which is good if you want your lipstick to stay closed but not so good if you are an idiot like me!  Once I got the hang of it though I thoroughly appreciated how impossible it would be for this cap to accidentally come off someplace that I didn't want it to! Available at select Shoppers Drug Mart and Murale stores across Canada.
mark. lipclick full color lipstick - $10 - available in 8 shades with a magnetic case that clicks closed.  It's also nicely compact if you are more prone to carrying your lipstick in your front pocket or a very small clutch! Available for your Avon rep - 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca

I have heard of reading palms, tea leaves and tarot cards but I wasn't aware up until now that you could read a person's lipstick print. It's called lipsology my friends, and a couple of weeks back I had the opportunity to meet Lipsologist, Jilly Eddy and have a lip print reading!

You can get more info about Jilly, Lipsology or to book yourself a reading at www.lipsology.com

It's easy to do, just kiss a card a couple of times and all your secrets are revealed!


As you can see my print is very faint which means I have "ghost lips" which tells her I am overworked!  She prescribed me a spa vacation which is one prescription I will be thrilled to get filled!  I will obviously have to make Christelle work harder before my lips disappear!

The event was to celebrate Bourjois Sweet Kiss Lipstick - $18 - in 14 shades: Beige Elégant #41, Rose Habillé #42, Rose Pomponné #43, Praline Distingué #44, Orangé Appreté #45, Rosé Corset #46, Rosé Paré #47, Rosé Alluré #49, Rosé Séduisant #51, Brun Orné #52, Brique Chic #53, Rouge Glamour #54, Rouge Sure Mesure #56, Fuchsia Class #57 - they are super moisturizing thanks to the unique complex of waxes and Argan Oil they contain which is perfect for the cold weather that we are already getting a taste of! It really is a smooth feeling lipstick, like a really moisturizing balm but with the added benefit of colour!

And of course if you want super glossiness, you can just add a bit of gloss on top!  Choose from Effet 3D Lipgloss - $18 - for an ultra plump lip effect, Effet Gloss Menthol - $18 - for fresh breath, Effet 3D Max Lipgloss - $20 - for maximum shine!
If you are going to wear the gloss over the lipstick, I am recommending that you use a reverse lipliner around your lips or go really easy on the gloss - this is not the kind of lipstick that you need to add extra moisture to and when you add the gloss I found it moved around a bit more then I was used to.  With the reverse lipliner it stayed where I wanted it to.

Available exclusively at select Shoppers Drug Mart and Murale stores across Canada.
