I picked this up at the JCPenny Sephora in the Glendale Galleria. I was looking for a new bronzer (something matte and lighter than average) and to be honest, there were not many options. I could have gone across the street to the Americana mall and the big Sephora, but it was all the way across the street. I ended up with this. This is BIG. And by big, I mean, its BIG!
Bigger than the palm of my hand.
I like this for a few reasons. Firstly, its matte. Secondly, its not too dark. Thirdly, its MASSIVE. I have been using the Guerlain Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder for the last three years....... oh my. The palette is three years old! But like this one its MASSIVE and I have still not put a dent in it. This palette was $49 (its $59 in Canada) but Its so big that its easily justifiable. A NARS blush is .16oz. This is a full oz. So its like having 6 1/4 nars blushes. How long would it take you to go through more than SIX full sized blushes? Exactly. For $49, I think this is a TON of product.
I realize that between this and the Terra Inca bronzer (its half this size at .51oz - still a TON of product) I will have enough bronzer to bronze my entire body daily for the next 3,342 years. Somehow, that knowledge does not disturb me!

So quite thankfully I got this product as part of a gift with purchase when purchasing other items from Bourjois Paris. I say thankfully because this item was used once and then I tossed it in the trash.
This is a two step product. A quite unremarkable lipgloss which is perfectly average. Not good, not bad, just there. Nothing that would make me want to grab it again, but nothing that would make me go "OMG this lipgloss is trash" It also comes with a tooth whitening gel. And that tooth gel is why this product is currently sitting in my trash can.
And the evil evil whitening gel. Now to be fair I should first explain my teeth. My teeth are missing some rather important layer of enamel (I should no better exactly what it is, but that would involve listening to the dentist when I see him). This causes me no pain or problems other than the fact that my teeth stain much easier than that of the typical person and I have rather coffee stained teeth (diet coke, not coffee, but same result) pretty much always. Each time I go the dentist they tell me they arent likely going to get them white, and then they do. And then we repeat the process.
But yes, anyways, very hard to keep clean teeth, yet not sensitive at all. Crest whitestrips are my BFF and even the stronger ones that bother or hurt others seem to have no unpleasant affects on me. I have actually NEVER had tooth pain from any product before. So you can imagine my surprise when within seconds of putting this product on it started to burn so much I was near tears. No matter how hard I tried to wipe off the residue from the product (not that there was much, I put on a very small amount) my teeth ached for the afternoon. At $21 for this product I would have been REALLY upset and probably taken it back had it been purchased.

It kind of darkens as you apply it into a gorgeous pink. Its a soft creme that is just a gorgeous texture and blends and applies so easily and lasts all day.
Such a gorgeous, natural matte pink glow. I freaking love this. At $20 its not cheap, but its certainly not Dior or Chanel pricing.

I didnt notice a difference when twisting the cap though like you are supposed to. Its supposed to essentially be two brushes in one.
Then after about half an hour I noticed I had raccoon eyes. This was very surprising because most mascaras DON'T smudge or budge on me. But this one was sadly unwilling or unable to stay put.
