The brush included is dense but the bristles are a bit too soft.

Nice fan shape, although I don't use it for applying blush the way I like it.

Dense looking but very filmsy, they don't 'break' into the hard surface of the blushes well

I never thought I'd really enjoy matte blushes but this one surprisingly is lovely. As long as my foundation is on evenly, a sweep of this with a touch of highlight looks so incredibly fresh and natural. This shade would work from fair to darker skin tones.

I have yet to personally use this but it's a true peachy pink toned coral with lots of golden shimmer. I'm afraid the shimmer maybe a bit much but I think with a light hand it should be brilliant. I got this for my mom who has a more yellow and tan complexion.

My favorite of the three, this shade is a lighter rose pink with a beautiful luminous satin finish. I usually pack more of this color on because it's lighter. It really adds a glow to the cheeks, this would be best on fairer skin but should turn up as a light sheen on medium to darker complexions.

Packaging & Product! 

First off I am a huge fan of the vintage type looking packaging of their eyeshadow and blushes. They are really sturdy even though it's the click and close type, I like how the product is dense and small, hence easy to carry around.

The size of the mirror isn't actually the best for applying blush but good for discrete checking. The fan brush included I don't use for the blush at all, its nice and soft but it's not made well enough for application. The little tip sheet included is a nice touch, it's not something I expected to get. 

The most interesting part of the packaging is how the color and finish of the packaging matches the blush on the inside. If the blush is matte, so is the plastic on the outside, if the blush is shimmer, the packaging has a shiny finish with shimmer! 

In terms of product these blushes are baked and are very silky and fine.  I love the matte and satin finishes very much, both Rose Ambre and Rose de Jaspe my 'go to' blushes for everyday and night outs. These shades are very easy to wear and look so fresh on the cheeks.  As a sister brand of chanel they also have a strong flowery powdery scent which I like, they round pots are also similar to the traditional rounded shape of chanel blush. 

I like using a thick, dense brush, small or medium sized to rub against and 'break' into the blush before making rounds from the top of my cheeks to my hair line. I always apply blush this way, it slims the face and doesn't add any more 'pinkness' to the nose-mouth region which I tend to conceal.

Note: I bought Rose Ambre in Singapore ($20.90 UP) and the other shades on holiday in cambodia for ($9 USD)

Paid: $20.90 SGD  ($16.80 USD) in Singapore/ $9 USD in Cambodia



Recommend: Yes, completely they are pigmented, convenient and come in very wearable shades and finishes! 

Repurchase: I've totally got my eye on Sienne (light brown) for contouring! And lune d'or (light satin neutral) for the cheekbone area.


Bottom line: Bourjois products are just a bit more expensive than regular drugstore products here but aren't far off. I love the variety of finishes in the blush range and think many people would enjoy them. 

Do you own any Bourjois blushes?
