a week or so ago all bourjois products were 50% off. there are discounts from time to time but at 50% off?!! i just had to get my hands on something!

bourjois disappeared for a few years and came back about 2 years ago. when i saw such discount, i thought it's going to be pulled out again. esp when there weren't many products left. but a week later, the price went back to normal and the display was full of stock again.

these pencils were around $10 after marked down. i guess that's about the full price everwhere else in the world.

bourjois duochrome eyeliner

duochrome eyeliner in violet rose and brun mordore. a very nice shiny purple and golden brown. i like how the pencil glides on the skin and the colors are wysiwyg. if you have used lousy eyeliners that you hardly get any colors no matter how hard you tried, you'll appreciate these.

bourjois contour clubbing waterproof eyepencil

contour clubbing waterproof eye pencil in black party. like the name suggested, it's black. i like the waterproof component. the color doesn't fall to the bottom lid at the end of the day. but taking it off can be a pain when it's too close to the lashline.

i was proud owners of an array of bourjois eye pencils i purchased when i went to paris 20+ years ago. they were cheap! i got different shades of different colors. but due to my lack of skills i didn't use them that much. i ended up throwing them away - they were old anyway. but i missed them so much. it's going to cost an arm and a leg if i'm going to build such a collection buying in australia.

wow you went to paris!! lucky!! and yes those pencils are nice, i hate the ones that's hard to use, it's like using a pen without ink. =P

I like eyeliner pencils but I'm pretty simple using it. I only use two colors only which is the black and brown. I haven't got the chance to play with color eyeliners yet because I'm that simple.

i'm a clinique pencil eyeliner user. they are easy to apply and stay on nicely. lately i tried this one and love it! (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2860350?Category=&Search=True&SearchType=guidednav&keyword=clinique+%3E+Beauty+%3E+Cosmetics&origin=searchresults). it's black with a little shimmery. clinique site calls it black diamond. lol.

bourjois eye pencils aren't that popular in the US so i will have to pay attention next time looking for them.

@linda, i went to paris with my parents. it was more visiting relatives. wasn't as fun as you think :/

@cynthia, you have to try something more colorful! esp spring is coming where you are. i used to be afraid of colors hence those old eye pencils went wasted. i really should've tried it back then - sometimes i feel too old to use something colorful now! lol!

@annie, i was excited when i clicked the link to check out what it looks like when it says nordstrom now does international shipping. it's so much cheaper buying there! however when i clicked checkout to see what's the shipping fee, it says this product is not available to ship to austrlia... :(

bourjois' makeup are quite good. beautiful colors. it's owned by chanel too so i treat it as cheaper version of chanel.
