Bourjois eyeshadows out in mattes, pearls and shimmers

Introduced in 1912, Bourjois makeup is known for their iconic little round pots. The latest incarnation of Bourjois pots reflect the colour and finish of new shadows, available in matte, pearl and shimmer.

When dry, the eight new eyeshadow shades blend over the lid with ease. When used damp, the shadow can easily be used to draw precise lines for an eyeliner effect.

Vegan makeup is makeup that does not use ingredients derived from animals, and which is not tested on animals. Examples of ingredients which come from animals would include lanolin or collagen. Many cosmetics companies now have vegan products or whole vegan lines, or like EM, may be completely vegan. 

EM recently launched a new line of eight neutral shades for the eyes called the “Oh, So Pretty” Collection! According to the EM blog, the palette ranges from white to browns, as well as soft blue and yellow hues, and are designed to mix and match easily.

The eyeshadows are named after inspiring traits. A white, "almost peachy" colour is called She's Charismatic; a denim grayish blue is called She's Complete, while She's Freedom is a bronze medium brown.

There is a sale on (EM ships internationally), with the US$14 eyeshadows going for US$12, and the US$10 eyeshadows going for US$6.50. To see the She’s Powerful, She’s Desire, and She’s Creative eyeshadows from the Oh, So Pretty collection on a model, visit the blog post here.
