Bourjois Jaune Trendy


(Cuticles are rubbish. Sorry. Having real trouble.)

2 coats and a lot of Mavala ridge-filler. Well, it's a yellow creme. But 2 coats! Honestly, this is brilliant.

And now for random thoughts on a French-theme (those who are easily offended - and French - should beware) calme-toi, ma chere liloo
  • All Bourjois stuff is fab and I like the packaging- those little pots they do are so cute
  • The French should not be allowed to use English words like /cool, trendy, super/ because it just sounds wrong
  • To call anything Jaune Trendy goes beyond wrong to preposterous
  • Bourjois are amazingly brave to have put out some great shades this summer - proper funky colours
  • The collection is called Paris (*stifles chortles* because .......see next point)
  • No Parisienne would ever wear any of these colours, Parisiennes wear dull colours - that is a FACT
  • Parisiennes have brown hair
  • Parisiennes are immaculately turned out in a way no British woman could ever achieve
  • Mid-price and budget French cosmetics ranges never include funky colours and the high-end companies make a bloomin' great fuss about it when THEY do a yellow or a green (ya know what I'm talkin' about?)
  • I could say a lot more about Anglo-French relations but I should perhaps quit before being dragged off to a guillotine somewhere
  • Why do Brits go on holiday to France but never to Germany?
  • What is so great about croissants?
  • Why is African French so much easier to understand than French French?
  • Have you ever been up the Eiffel Tower? I only got to the first stage and there's a long story (wholly tedious) about why I never made it to the top
  • My favourite Paris memory is a little crocodile of French children with their attendants trotting through Parc Monceau in the sunshine - cycling round Versailles was good too but does Versailles count as Paris? (not really)

  1. Hmm. How easy do you think African English is to understand? Should I put my Nigerian accent for you? You dey no understand why I go type like dis o!

    lmao. I do need to check these out, these are cute. Are they still on 3 for 2?

    The French aren't the worst for abusing English words, have a look at any East Asian country, lol. On 'Of Faces and Fingers' blog she has a picture of a Japanese advert for clear skin that says 'Virgin'. LOL.

    Latin languages have all the same roots anyway.

  4. I'm loving the colour of this, i've never tried yellow before so may have to give this a try. Have you had it on long enough to review the lasting power of it? x

  5. Great colour! I'm annoyed that I forgot to look at these when I went to Boots yesterday. Plain croissants are nothing compared to buttery crumpets, but I do love almond croissants, the ones with marzipan in. I could eat plain marzipan for breakfast, but putting it in a croissant makes it slightly more socially acceptable :P

  6. Love the color, and since I've never had a crumpet, I'll take a lovely flaky croissant, thank you!
