Gutted about Bourjois

23 replies

Is anyone else a bit gutted that Bourjois are pulling out of British shops?

I was a bit sad to see that the stand was nearly empty in Boots when I popped in yesterday and also kicking myself for not stocking up.

I love their city radiance foundation - smells lovely, makes my skin dewy matches my skin well. Also only recently found healthy mix 'illuminatrice' in a lovely rose colour.

What a shame - only came across these products by going in and trying testers, it's not the same buying online 😭

Yeah, I love Bourjois : (

CeriBerry · 26/01/2020 10:31

Do you think we’ll still be able to buy online? I only use Bourjois mascara!

StormBaby · 26/01/2020 10:34

I've pretty much only used them for 20 years so I'm screwed!

thesunwillout · 26/01/2020 10:34

Yes I am, we were talking about their healthy mix foundation serum on another thread.
DD and I trying to find me some online, anywhere! Then she said they were pulling out of the UK.
Damn shame. I've managed to find 3 X 55 colour in eBay. Get stocked up people.

I didn’t know that. My favourite lipstick is by bourjois! Thank you for the heads up.

I love their blusher as it was the one my nanna uses when I was tiny.
It came in a little paper/card block and smelled divine.

Feel unique is a guernsey based company, it sells bourjois.

I'm presuming I will still be able to buy from there (or hoping)

letmebefrank · 26/01/2020 10:53

Oh no! I love their concealers.

FuckingHateRats · 26/01/2020 10:54

Their Healthy Mix foundation is so good :(

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 26/01/2020 10:55

There's still loads on line and I imagine will continue to be.

userxx · 26/01/2020 10:58

@SunbeamsOverhead 🤣. Very good.

doadeer · 26/01/2020 11:01

Oh no way! I love the foundation! I've tried so many more expensive ones and that is just the best. Did anyone confirm if you can buy online? Feel unique must do them.

I might buy 5 just in case!!

Feel unique looks like a good shout - hopefully they keep stocked up.

Still will miss having a browse and a try of products in real life!

Bourxit indeed Grin

Look fantastic is also a guernsey based company.

I would presume guernsey companies would maintain french stock. So I think it's our best bets.

I always use their blusher, I find it lasts longer than other brands.

Because of this thread I've just bought the last 3 Bronze Raffine eye pencils I could find on e bay.When I run out I dont know what I'm going to do

MadisonAvenue · 26/01/2020 14:03

Oh that's a shame! I like Bourjois Sad

Funnily enough, I was in Boots a week or two back and noticed that the Bourjois display looked like it had recently been updated and expanded, and it looked well stocked.

frugalkitty · 26/01/2020 14:23

I've stocked up on blushers and loose powders, Boots had a 3 for 2 at the start of the month so I did quite well.

I'm still working my way through the No17 Phwoar paint stash I got when that was discontinued. It's so annoying when a staple product gets taken away.

Paquitalaflor · 30/01/2020 15:38

I went into Boots today and saw the empty display! I didn't realise it was stopping! I am distraught. And also curious as to how they don't think it is worth selling in the UK when I have clearly been keeping it afloat since my prom in 1996?!?!?
Hubbie goes to France a lot for work - will have to give him shopping list.

MadisonAvenue · 30/01/2020 15:45

I went back into my local Boots yesterday and the display was empty, not a single thing on it.
I’m very surprised too, I’m 50 and the blusher (or rouge as she calls it) has been a staple in my mother’s make up bag for as long as I can remember.

You can some items on amazon.
