Bourjois Ombre Stretch Shadow - Review


The latest offering from Bourjois is their Ombre Stretch shadow, it has nylon micro fibres that create a fabric like effect so it will blend easily. I found that while it did blend out softly it didn't actually blend that well with other shadows used, particulary when blending a lighter colour above towards the brow (if using one of the dark shades that is). The brush that comes with it quite good & a lot better than most applicators that come with shadows, best to use a proper 'fluff' brush though to get the best effects. Another small down side is that at the inner corners of my eyes I noticed the shadow seperated slightly & the pigment ran a little, it was the purple shadow & small streaks of pink appeared which never normally occurs, so it's not all that great when in contact with moisture... But still a lovely effect & easy to blend on it's own, so over all worth a try. £6.95 from Boots.
