Bourjois Illumnatrice ...

Chicken Biryani · May 11th, 2009, 02:55 PM

Ok girls, I have an issue yet again... I bought Bourjois Touche illuminatrice ( the peach coloured pot in the picture below ) ... I dunno how to use it

I tried using it as a highlighter , but it seems very superficial on my skin , it seems as if someone has sprinkled glitter on my face ! maybe its not as fine as NARS Albatross perhaps .. I dunno

I thought perhaps i am using it the wrong way! anyone used this product?

Try mixing it into u're liquid foundation for a dewy finish..

hmmm .. have you used this product Gina?

I got this really nice one from Benefit...it is a lot more subtle than the Bourjois one. Try not using so much and use a mini puff thing.

I have tried High Beam from Benefit, same thing really..

This wasn't high beam. It's a limited edition one

DDR , which one did you get from Benefit?

Gina, I loved Benefit's high beam, I already have No7's highliting liquid so I was kind of thinking to finish it off first and then buy high beam ... and illiminatrice was kind of cheaper so i just picked it up .. now i am stuck with it ...

I will try using it with a puff ... i wonder if wetting the puf slightly and then applying the product will help at all...

Just don't overload the puff. Build it up if you need to and mix a little into a cream rather than wetting it as such. Just experiment. Make up may be universal and available to all, but no one thing suits everyone

The Benefit one I got recently has a fluffy puff (you know the retro style ones) Let me go find the little tin and I will post back with what it is called. However, Missy, I don't think you need to buy anymore things

DDR ... I know , please stop me from buying things , I think all this wedding depression is putting me on the shopping spree

Fiance almost fainted when he saw how much I spent in the three weeks that he was gone to Lahore !!!

a wedding should be a joyous occasion and not a depressing one. Yes enjoy the preparation and everything but don't partake in excessive shopping which will remain half used at the end of the day.

Make a list of the stuff that you definitely need and try and stick to it.

I will try and stop you as best I can but the onus is on you at the end of the day

DDR is it a small tin peach/pink/cream with a black kitten on it?
