Bourjois is coming back to the UK

[Gymnopedie]

On the 4th July, exclusive to Superdrug. Yay!

Bourjois returns

Their lipglosses were the best ones I ever had. Very pleased to hear they are returning.

@Oceanus @Neverendingdust interesting! Thanks!

Chanel still comes out the Bourjois factory, if you look on Google maps you can see they're the same. Frequently see Chanel vans coming and going.

Delighted they're coming back though, just release Orangina Haribo here and I won't need to go to France this summer!

I've been buying healthy mix foundation on Amazon for ages.. there's a few other bourjois products on there too but probably not the full range!

Great news. I laid down a few bottles of Healthy Mix when they withdrew, and just exhausted my supply a couple of months ago. Can't wait to have a browse.

Yes I just loved going into a shop and seeing all their little round pots lined up though. Took me back to my teenage days.

I bought a few eye shadows & mascaras but not the foundations as they didn't have a wide range of shades. So hopefully, they'll have more of a variety of diverse shades this time.

I loved their Volume Fast and Perfect mascara - the wand handle contained a battery so the brush rotated automatcally. Wonderful mascara and so easy to apply perfectly. I live their mascaras generally, but this was the best and definitely worth the small price increase. I live in hope they will bring it back.

What is worth buying from there? I know the foundations always get good reviews?

Thank you so much for posting this, hopefully they'll have my favourite eyeshadow, never found one I liked more than the little round pots!

Their blushes

I can't believe its been so long 😯

Thank god! It’s the only foundation I wear

My nanna, born in 1899, always used Boujois rouge in the little paper pot.
She was a church going woman and a dab of rouge on her cheeks and lips and a dusting of face powder were deemed suitable and not too ‘fast’! ☺️

It smelled divine and I used Boujois when I grew up, though it was now in a plastic pot with a sweet little brush.

I know my daughter also remembers rouge fondly. We would love it if Boujois ditched the plastic and reproduced the iconic little pot.

Ooh I loved their healthy mix concealer in the squeezy tube!

Yay. I never found a better concealer than their radiance one for the under eyes. Even spending ££.
I could never find it online either, always sold out everywhere.

I remember going into Boots as a child and loving all the little round pots. I vowed to buy Bourjois when I was grown up and had the money... so I did, and I did love their little pots! I still have some and they seem to last forever.
I'm looking forward to buying more, if they come back.

I HIGHLY recommend their CC cream to anyone who doesn't like wearing foundation but needs coverage and colour correction. It's truly amazing stuff

@Oceanus
They were owned by Chanel back in the day! Way way back in the day, don't know if it's been sold now though.

I'm pretty sure it was bought by Coty about 5 years ago.

Yay. My cousin in France has been sending me my regulars! I'm stocked up but pleased I will be able to get it again

I didn’t realise they’d gone - which tells you how often I buy makeup 🙊 I love their ashes of roses blush though, such a perfect natural blush on me, and their foundation was actually light enough for my skin.

Didn't realise they test on animals, wow. MAC do as well.

I discovered recently that in order to be sold in China, they require all cosmetics^^ to be tested on animals by law 😳

I wish they were cruelty free too

I didn't realise they weren't, what a shame

Yes! I loved that stuff when it first came out- they added to the line and bought out a chocolate highlighter and a dark chocolate version of the bronzer.
