Bourjois Smoky Stories eyeshadow palettes review

Bourjois are creating a new twist to the smokey eye with their new collection of Smoky Stories eyeshadow palettes.

The Gloss

Bourjois have launched a fabulous new range of cream to powder eyeshadow palettes – Bourjois Smoky Stories collection. The range of eight shades use a new formula which is integrated with a base shadow primer that works with the powder. Each palette include four shades with a top coat that uses highly concentrated faceted glitter.

Shades in the Bourjoins Smoky Stories collection include:

Grey and Night
Over Rose
I Love Blue
Rock Khaki
Good Nude
Upside Down
In Mauve
Ocean Obsession

The Lowdown

The new Smoky Stories palettes are very different to what we’ve come to expect from Bourjois and it’s evident that Bourjois are moving towards more sophisticated formulas. Whilst the little round pots had a dusty, dry feel the new palettes are soft and creamy with dense pigmentation. Each of the palettes are well coordinated and the glitter lets you add a little sparkle to the overall finish.

Bourjois Smoky Stories Upside Brown has a lovely ménage of brown tones and a creamy shimmery champagne/gold topcoat. The formula is really versatile and can be used for both everyday and built up to be more intense for evening wear. The shades work really well together and blend seamlessly. As always you can wear the shades as they are or use a wet brush to get a even more intense look.

I think it’s great how Bourjois are embracing new formulas that are versatile and easy to use. I give it:
