The Bourjois Palette Les Nudes is a perfect little cosmetic for your make-up bag. The palette is an ideal size with a variety of stunning colours that have an incredible staying power.

Frankly, I have never really been that big on eyeshadows; I am somebody who can take them or leave them. Quite often I don’t wear any eyeshadows at all. However, when I purchased this little beauty from Bourjois, I was stunned with how powerful the little eyeshadows actually are. Although the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes is a fair size, the colours themselves appear to be small. Therefore, I wasn’t too optimistic about the eyeshadows lasting me for a decent amount of time. It turns out that I couldn’t have been more wrong!

Firstly, because I am so impressed with the quality of the eyeshadows and the beautiful effect they have on my eyes, I have been wearing the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes almost every day since I purchased them, over seven months ago! After a full seven months’ worth of use, the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes is still going on strong in my make-up bag. The white eyeshadow, which I use the most has now almost entirely gone, followed by the bronze shade which has just under half left and the rest are still completely full.

The pigmentations of each of these colours are purely outstanding, and the durability is just as amazing. I usually apply the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes eyeshadows early in the morning, just before the school run and it literally lasts on my eyes for the entire day. Bourjois claim that the Palette Les Nudes eyeshadows last for up to 12 hours and I would have to agree with this statement. The eyeshadows barely even fade, if at all. After several hours of wear, the colours still look just as vibrant as they did when I put them on. Although I am talking about a typical casual day, so if your day is more physically active you may need to top the eyeshadows up again in the evening. Even when I have worn the eyeshadows in the bath or shower, they don’t slide off and smudge down my face as most eyeshadows do.

As a sleep deprived mummy, long gone are the days where I could get a full eight hours of sleep. Quite often I am lucky to get four or five good hours of sleep, and the crack of dawn wake ups are now an everyday thing. So I need all of the help I can get with my puffy eyes and enormous bags which have now become the norm. So I am so thankful as to how this little palette of gold can immediately glam up my eyes and have me looking like an ordinary woman once again, rather than a like zombie.

The Bourjois Palette Les Nudes has eight beautiful different shades in them, which allows you to create a variety of looks to wear during the day, night or to suit any occasion. The texture of the eyeshadows is so soft, and I believe this is the reason as to why they have lasted me for so long because you don’t need to use a lot of the eyeshadows on your face nor do you need to build up multiple layers. The eyeshadows blend really easy with just one simple brush and layer.

Since I have started wearing the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes a lot of people have asked me about and commented on the type of eyeshadows that I am wearing. I would definitely recommend these eyeshadows to anyone who wants to glam up their eyes, without looking over the top. I think the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes is perfect for any woman’s handbag.

If the nude collection isn’t for you, don’t worry because Bourjois also offer a Palette Les Smoky, which I imagine is just as fabulous as the Palette Les Nudes.

The Bourjois Palette Les Nudes box alone looks so adorable and chic. The box comes in a nice compact little shape, and there is a good size clear mirror inside. So if you want to take the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes out with you in your handbag, there is no need to take out a compact mirror as this already has one. Another unique thing about this product is how it opens and closes. It isn’t just an open and shut eyeshadow as most products are. Once opened, the mirror can swivel 360֯, and it also tilts at an angle which is perfect if you need to capture some good lighting. I really do love it!
Overall I can’t fault the Bourjois Palette Les Nude. In my eyes, I would have to say that the eyeshadows are worth the money and I am glad that I purchased them. Therefore, I rate the Bourjois Palette Les Nudes a glamourous 5/5 stars. Well done Bourjois you have converted me into loving eyeshadows. I will defiantly be purchasing this product again.
