I am a big fan of Bourjois Smokey Eye Pencils and I have at least a half of them now and I also like the other pencils from the brand and I’ve tried almost all of them. I like them all for different reason.
I already wrote about their Duochrome Eyeliners which I wanted to get as soon as I first saw the promo photo and I did eventually.
But I was shopping the other day and this Gris Perle shade caught my attention as the colour looks very beautiful.
Although I do love the colour, unfortunately, I don’t like this pencil as much as my other Bourjois pencils. It is not so soft and it doesn’t really glide on plus it doesn’t have such an impressive staying power.
I thought that it would look amazing on my brown eyes but I can’t say that I loved it, although that’s a personal opinion of course. So I can’t wait to try it on someone who has a different eye colour.
The photo with no focus shows you the duochrome effect pretty well
Although I am not so impressed, it is not a bad product in general and it’s nice to have such shade in the collection. I like using it for lilac eye shadows.
The price is £4.99
What a beautiful colour!! That’s such a shame the formula sucks 🙁
That’s an interesting shade but it’s a shame the texture is not that soft. I think I will pass on this then.
I LOVE this product and have been using it for several years! I am so sorry you didn’t have a good experience with it. It has always gone on smooth and easy and stayed all day for me. It has been the best eyeliner I’ve ever used. But I am having trouble locating any in the states. It’s a shame the brand has been discontinued in so many stores. This shade particularly works both day and night for me, depending on how I use it!
I am sorry to hear it, Patty.
I love this range but this particular shade is not my favourite.
