AU REVOIR BOURJOIS! SATURDAYS AT SEPHORA!
Kate here, Why is it that good things usually have to come to an end? (Especially the best stages of life) childhood, college, happy hour. Seriously? I don't understand why things have to end. How do we ever really know that they would eventually sour? When I die, I think when I get my parent-teacher conference with God, I'm going to have to ask him about this. I suppose he'll tell me that we're human, and we change. We're not static. We'll continue to grow until the day we die. But, it is certainly lovely to have the good things to remember.
And so it will the same way for Sephora and Bourjois. Bourjois is a great line, with some great products. But, sadly, Sephora has outgrown Bourjois and won't be carrying it in the U.S. in the not too distant future. And so, the upside is that EVERYTHING is 30% Off!!! I want to encourage all of you to take advantage of this - and stock up (hoard) if you need to. And of course share with you a few of my favorite Bourjois products to try while you still can. (Though I think the line will still be available at Ulta.)
#1 - The Drole de Sourcil's Brow Gel. Sort of a funny brow gel...comes in light, dark, and clear. The dark brow gel has been a STAPLE for me for nearly three years now! I am lucky that I overcame obsessive-compulsive tweezing early in my life and my brows are still intact enough to have a good shape, if only a little bit sparse towards the center. A couple of swipes of this colored gel keeps my brows "on" all day. I have Anastasia products and the Smashbox wax/powder duo all stored in my arsenal. But I still use this one EVERYDAY without fail...hardly any experimentation with others. So it must be good!
#2 - They don't have this product listed online but we have them available in my store (and probably a few others, I imagine). They sell a 5 piece brush set in a neat little mesh case that was originally either $45 or $48. But with 30% off they're closer to $30. This would be a FABULOUS staple for your suitcase, or even a good "down payment" if you're considering investing in brushes. They're not at all a bad quality and the handles are pretty and pink!
#3 - Bourjois has some of the BEST eyeliners. I wore the liquid liner for a long time. Comes in several colors and has a thin brush for precise application. The Khol and Contour pencils are good creamy standbys. And the Effet Metallise are water-resistant metallic liners that come in some super-pretty, wearable colors!

Okay, so the online Bourjois selection was pretty limited, but I did score a glossy lipstick in Coral des Mers 05 and it's seriously the best sheer coral lippie EVER! It had fabulous staying power for a sheer lipstick, so I was mighty impressed. I was loving their sale section. Yes, I'm 30, but I totally bought the Hard Candy Delinquent Nail Kit, too, and I totally put all of the rings that come on the nail polish bottles on all of my fingers and I resembled a deranged Mr. T. I felt pretty. I kept saying "I pity the fool!" to myself. Best purchase ever. I will say, I usually steer clear of Hard Candy stuff because I'm so not their target demographic, but the polishes look really sophisticated. And with all the rings, you can channel your inner Mr. T.
I am broken hearted to see Bourjois leave Sephora! I love, love, love Volume Glamour. I am so sad to see them go. I loved Happy Light, and there was another mascara I wanted to try (truly, I was only interested in owning the tube it came in). I am a sucker for pretty packaging and all things French, so this line spoke to my heart. Au revoir, Bourjois!
Just in the new "Ulta" yesterday sorta' near me and voila...a large and beautiful display of "Bourjois!!!"looks like there might be an option after all!
The discount is online and in stores. I didn't mean to be such a downer this week! The truth is I was thinking about a lot of different things besides - not all bad. Bittersweet is the word isn't it?

Is this 30% off online or only at the stores? I'm very sad to see this line go. I have so many of their products. I do know that the "Q" was offering the Bourjois line. I wonder if they will be the only ones to offer it here in the states. Since the "Q" is overseas, it might be possible.Lovely intro Kate. It made me really reflect on my past, some great, some not so great. But....that's life!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Kate!! When I saw the title of this post I thought it meant that you were leaving us as well and I almost died. Terrible. You can't play with my emotions like that. Anyyyyyyyyyyyyways I haven't ever really used much of Bourjois but I do use the Smashbox and Anastasia brow and I love them so if you think the bourjois is better then I will have to try it.
I HATE that Sephora's not going to carry Bourjois anymore. I always feel so French when I wear Bourjois, since I first discovered it in Paris many years ago. "My" Sephora stopped carrying their products not too long ago, and I thought maybe it just wasn't selling in the Memphis area. At least I can still get it at Ulta - but that store is just not as fun as Sephora. If y'all can get your hands on Bourjois liquid eyeliners of their lipglosses, jump right on 'em!

love love love their eyeliners, Kate! I bought my first one in France last summer and was so excited to see Sephora carry them here. oh well, I'll always have ulta. Their double ended mascaras are also waaaay dramatic. great for a going out look!
i love this brand and was deeply saddened when sephora dropped it from the roster!

I still miss Bourjois. I still have some stashed. I wonder if Ulta still carries this. Must check.
beautyticket.com still carries Bourjois!
I wish I'd caught this sale! I bought my first and only Bourjois product at Victoria's Secret--the long lasting liquid lipstick (color on one end, clear on the other) and LOVED it. The color was gorgeous and the staying power was great, and it had just the right smell. I've tried Revlon's ColorStay version and it sucked, and Maybelline's version was pretty good, but Bourjois has a special place in my heart :(
