Advantages: Nice texture, mirrored lid
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...I don't normally wear lipstick, but after seeing a couple of adverts on this product I felt intrigued and so decided to part ways with £7 on the latest product from my favourite make up brand. *BOURJOIS* is one of the oldest French cosmetics companies dating back to the 1860s, when Alexandre Bourjois, a French perfumier created Pastel Joues, the world's first powder blush because he knew how dissatisfied French stage actresses were with their thick, uncomfortable and damaging theatre make up. The small round pots have remained a signature of the brand to this day. In fact, *PACKAGING* is one of the key things - Bourjois is an innovative company, always coming up with clever new concepts - and Rouge Lovely is no exception. It stands at around 2½ inches tall, and is not quite an inch in diameter. The lipstick is not straight... Read review

Advantages: not too pricey, fab colours,twinkly toes
Disadvantages: a little more stubborn to remove

...a slightly triangular glass bottle with a round base and an elegant gold top. The bottle has gold writing on the front of the bottle showing it to be a Bourjois product and from the very vernis range, the colour range is vast so your sure to find one that catches your eye, mine is rouge diva (more on that later) On the reverse of the bottle there is a warning to avoid heat and flame which makes sense, on the very tip of the bottle is a round disc which shows the colour that's inside the bottle The brush is smaller than that of rival varnishes yet because the varnish itself is thicker you get more on your brush, I usually only need to use two strokes on each toenail to get proper coverage, I also feel that the smaller brush handles better and you are less likely to make mistakes The varnish lasted chip free on my nails for almost a week...

Advantages: Eyeshadow doesn't break, great selection of colours and easy to carry in your bag.
Disadvantages: Pricey, can get greasy.

...I assume that few of you have ever seen inside my vanity case (well if you have I want to know how!!!!) and if you have you’ll have noticed quite a few of the Bourjois eye shadows. ~How I first heard of them~ I have to thank my mum for introducing me to this range. For those of you who don’t know my mum she’s great, we go shopping for everything together. On one particular day in 1995 (*please note: this date is totally made up for the purpose of this opinion) we went shopping in our tiny weenie little boots store in the village for make-up. As usual we plastered everything interesting on ourselves until we came to the Bourjois selection (at this point we were repeating the name in stupid French accents-with most of the store looking at us!) Anyway the first thing we both grabbed was an eye shadow. ~Packaging... Read review

Advantages: A superior lip gloss, non tacky.
Disadvantages: None really

...rouge pots with the dinky blush brush have been around since the 19th century and are still very much in demand today. Bourjois cosmetics are of a superior quality and extremely desirable when pitted against some of the bland British design and composition of make-ups available today.- ~ BOURJOIS ~ I love the container of this lip gloss. The design of the Bourjois containers is a strong selling point with me. It isn't just about the make-up; it is also about the appearance of the casing. Our ritual of applying our make-up is a pleasurable experience and we want our products to be attractive and nice to the touch, also to look good amongst the other items in our make-up bags and with Bourjois this is just what we get. Their products are high in design, well made, funky and expensive looking. ~ EAU DE GLOSS ~ This particular... Read review

Advantages: Good price, very good quality.
Disadvantages: None considering the price

...For a while I had seen these Bourjois eye-shadows, but never got round to buying them. The reason for this was simply that I always wanted something else, or I was tempted by other offers on at the time. However about 2 months ago I went in to Boots and saw that there was 150 points if you bought any Bourjois eye-shadow. Being a bit of a sucker for any marketing perks I, like usual fell for the offer, like many other innocent customers and decided to buy one.They have recently been re-packaged (although hardly any different to before). I chose a turqoise (see picture) one because it looked really nice, and because nearly all of the colours had sold out. ~~~What Bourjois says~~~ "Fine powder mono eyeshadow Fine powder eyeshadow for luminous colour. Applied dry, the eyeshadow is light and luminous. Apply wet to reveal the full... Read review

Advantages: A very attractive non sticky 3D glimmering gloss.
Disadvantages: None really.

...---BOURJOIS, PARIS . EFFET 3D LIP GLOSS--- I love the Bourjois range of cosmetics. For me, it is either Benefit or Bourjois and these two are the only brands that I choose to use. Apart from the odd item from Yves Saint Laurent, these two brands deliver imaginative and exciting products that really make me want to own them. The Bourjois brand has a fantastic and up to date image. It is slightly more avant garde in its approach to their image branding than most and I love their products and own many of them. I am, for my sins, a bit of a 'girly girl'. I suppose I am like any other woman when it comes to make-up, I have shed loads of it, I love it! And I hate to think how much I spend each year in my search for the 'perfect' mascara or lip gloss/plumper. My lips are naturally large so I don't need to go too mad in the plumping... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant value for money, stays on a long time,
Disadvantages: None that I can think of. Maybe better hinges on the case.

...Bourjois Blusher This is something my mum gave to me, as the colour she bought didn't suit her, as it was too light for her skin. History of Bourjois Can you believe that Bourjois was first made in 19th century? A man called Alexandre Napoleon Bourjois saw that make up was used heavily for the stage but the make up was heavy and damaged the skin. He saw an opportunity and in 1863, made the first powder blush, Pastel Joues. Even now in the 21st century, Bourjois is still around, giving us brilliant make up that makes us look stunning and young. Bourjois has a range of make up products but today, I'm focusing on Blusher. This product has been come my fav and I'll tell you why. The Blusher come in 18 different colours. Brun cuivré 03, Châtaigne Dorée 10, Brun Illusion 11, Brun Poudré 12, Rouge Bonne Mine 13, Rose Eclat... Read review

Advantages: Imaginative, sometimes innovative, some magical moments
Disadvantages: very loud, and brash and becomes more conventional at its end.

...Moulin Rouge almost immediately reminded me of Terry Gilliam's Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1989). It's excessively loud, theatrical, full of slapstick and garish. It is however too sweet and sentimental to be down right vulgar. At times its even touchingly romantic. It has also been made by a crew of seemingly fearless film technicians who use everything they can afford to put on the screen-on the screen. You have no idea how far this film will go. The only clue is that its rated Pg-13 (in the U.S.) but it seems like it's going to push through that barrier at any moment anyway. It evokes Keystone Cop slapstick and Allan Carr's (Can't Stop the Music, Broadway's La Cage Aux Folles) excesses sometimes at the same time. It's frenetically edited like an MTV video on speed, but creates such a detailed period opulent fantasy world... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful shades, handy pot, included eyeshadow brush
Disadvantages: application can be messy, pot can release product in your make up bag

...This was my first ever Bourjois product, and it got me hooked for life! ***The Product*** Bourjois say "The unique, no spills pot and ingenius built in brush are the perfect companion for a professional application wherever you are. The clever pot deposits just the right amount of powder on the brush with each application. Explore the multiple facets of the intense, shimmering shades". ***The Pot*** Bourjois say it's a "no spills pot" well me and my friends have found otherwise. At the bottom of many of our make up bags is bourjois eyeshadow powder. When you knock over the pot nothing will come out but if the lide has come off it in your make up bag and it's moving around in there then it's a different story. The pot is clear allowing you to know which fabulous shade you will be applying to your eyelids. It has any easy twist lid... Read review

Advantages: Great singing and story line. Fab actors.
Disadvantages: Not everyone would like it because it's more of a musical

...Here's a review i wrote a while ago, i thought i'd upload it: Hope you like it! Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge A movie, like you have never seen before. This is a magnificent, heartrending, romantic musical, testing love to its maximum limits. The brand-spanking new Moulin Rouge is a fantastic depiction of love, presented by Fox Studios. Exclusive soundtracks accompanied by outstanding soprano and tenor vocals from Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor give a blast of excitement to this musical. The Moulin Rouge is produced and directed by Baz Luhrmann, who is also the former director of the all - popular Shakespearian Romeo and Juliet. If Kidman dueting with McGregor isn't adequate - then how about the out of the blue cameo appearance of Kylie Minogue; singing as a green fairy? It's an all - tragic dramatic tale of romance...
