The Bourjois Paris Belle Epoque Collection seems more ice queen than spring fling, but they’re so pretty for spring when pastels will reign. The eye shadows are super-glimmery – they are sparkle packed and the polishes are creamy blends that stop the blue shades being a little cold.
I’ve only partially captured the twinkles – they’re ten-fold to how they show up here, but the creamy-white shade is called Blanc Nymphea and the duck-egg blue is Ciel Aquarelle. I don’t yet have the two Khol & Contour pens – Blue Espiegle; a vivid, aqua blue and Morning Lime which is an almost grassy, power-packed green.
The nail shades, Succes Azure (bright) and Ciel Mon Vernis (off-white blue) have a secondary look – as a dip dye for graded nail effects. Bourjois will be selling mini triangular sponges but if you’re already a nail effect fan, you probably have them in your kit already.

Combined with the blue theme are two new glosses – both peachy-rose shades and I’ll swatch them separately at another time. We should see these rolling out into stores in March 2014.

Ooh, these are lovely. The duck egg blue shadow and polish have my name all over them. Gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing the liners too if these are anything to go by. It’s the first spring limited editions that has made me want to go out and buy immediately.
Not really too sure about the eyeshadows but the nails polish colours are lovely!

Their eyeshadows are always shockingly bad for the high drugstore price point, but their nail polishes are always good, no matter what formula they are. Will probably buy the 2 polishes, if they’re on some sort of buy one get one half price offer or 3 for 2. Great swatches, thanks! 🙂
Reminds me of a sort of Cinderella collection!

The 2 nail polishes are gorgeous colours – the eyeshadows aren’t colours I would use but the polishes are right up my street. Perfect for Spring

Oh, those shades are gorgeous. This collection reminds me of Elsa from Frozen and I’m loving it. I’d like to be a snow queen so I think these will be coming home with me.
