Last Purchase of 2010 – Bourjois Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in 07 Noir Emeraude
Fare thee well, 2010 – you were filled with furore and fun! Here’s my last purchase of the year: Bourjois Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in 07 Noir Emeraude (S$19).
These shadows are best used wet. Hard to believe Bourjois has been at this baked shadow thing since 1863!
A gorgeous blackened green shot through with minuscule rainbow shimmer, Noir Emeraude is one of the more eye-catching shadows from the new range of Little Round Pot shadows that have been reformulated for easier layering and improved luminosity.
I prefer using this over a tacky base like Lunasol Eyelid Base N to using it wet.
On its own, it’s somewhat dismal and will be difficult to work with. However, it truly pops over the Lunasol base!
That’s such a pretty colour! I used to have a whole bunch of Bourjois eyeshadows but I didn’t like how they went hard and unpigmented after a while. The blushes are the same but at least for blush, its nice to have it sheer sometimes
Happy New Year Mag! 
Hi PB,
Happy New Year to you, too!
The shadows from the older range are disappointing, although I’d admit they work for people who like something simple and light. The blushes are very pretty, I agree. 
Ooh, that’s pretty – I went on a bit of a Bourjois rampage myself last week – tee hee….and I can’t thank you enough for recommending the Lunasol Eyelid Base a while back. It truly is a marvelous product that hasn’t dried up my papery eyelid skin even further!
Wishing you a very happy 2011, Mag
Happy New Year to you, TUG!
I’m so glad the Lunasol base works for you. It’s not the best thing for oily lids but works like a dream for dry lids.
I personally I like how colours easily pop over it. 
Wow, what a beautiful iridescent shade!
What a difference that base makes. It’s such a Mag shade with the base.
Okay, I simply had to make this follow up comment – the more I look at the swatch of this e/s, the more it looks a lot like the much awaited Chanel Black Pearl nail varnish…and yes, I have been peering at my computer screen a lot
Hi MatryoshkaDoll,
I love the reflective quality too.
Hey Marcia,
Isn’t it? I love how intense it looks over the right base.
Hi TUG,
No, no, not another lemming?!
ok, that’s reallly super pretty – I didn’t realise they’ve reformulated the shadows! I don’t have any of their potted ones but I love BLACK PARTY (LE; black with silver glitter) from the Ombre Extend (Is that right? Its the rectangular cases) series. Am going to check the range out!
Hey Kas,
They just did it. The long ones aren’t too bad, I agree.
Im so jelous iv all the products im seeing on your wedsite.
Here in australian, us ladies search forever for a simple primer or just a foundation thats the right shade.
UR so lucky!!
