Le petit strober - Bourjois


BOURJOIS – a word I can never remember how to spell. It's been a while since I bought something from them, but it used to be my favorite fancy drugstore brand. It used to be in ˝sisterhood˝ with Chanel, so there still might be some similarities, but I’m not sure. I had some big disappointments with their under eye concelaers, so because of that I decided to leave this brand alone for a while.

Their new collection recently caught my eye, so I forgive them their bad products and I’m ready to try new ones. They launched duo blushers in three shades – blush and bronzer in that famous little pot and a strober, which ended in my shopping bag.


Strober comes in one, universal shade - Universal glow, which supposed to be flattering for all skin tones. I would describe this as light golden with some silver shimmer added. It is light color, but buildable, which is great when it comes to easily overdoing products. It is delicately shimmery. It has quite strong floral smell, I believe it is typical for Bourjois products, but it fades away quickly. I thought this shade will be more on silvery side; sadly it turned up to be more like a dupe for my strobbing cream from Artdeco, but not as longlasting.


This is baked product so it’s more fragile and can be dusty. I don’t have a special brush for highlighting (not just yet, but things can quickly change), so I apply it with different types of brushes and also with my fingers. Usually I highlight my cheekbones and under brow bones, sometimes I put some shimmer on my eyelids.


I like the packaging, it is so cute. Little pot contains a small brush, which is somehow rough and unpractical and a mirror, also too small. Put the intention counts, so it’s a plus. So if you’re looking for a light champagne shade, drugstore option highlighter, this is highly recommended. Shy at first, but stronger if you want to.



I compared swatches of my other highlighters, from let to right: 1. Bourjois strobber, 2. Artdeco strobing cream in ˝Golden glow˝, 3. Bobbi Brown nude finish illuminating powder in ¨Porcelain˝.
