New | Bourjois Le Petit Strober

I feel like Bourjois for me are a base brand, as in their Primers, Foundations, Concealers and Powders are their strong points. I also particularly love their Mascaras. However, I haven’t tried much else for the range.

I saw they had launched a new product, the Le Petit Strober, which is effectively a highlighter in the most adorably small packaging! At £6.99 it’s a pretty reasonable price, and it currently only comes in one shade.

The packaging is really sweet. It comes in this petite (hence the name) round packaging that pings shut with a really satisfying magnet, has a mirror (which is a nice touch, but really not that usable), and is just generally really sweet. The brush you get with it is not necessarily a bad thing, considering it’s ‘free’, but it is a little naff and a touch scratchy!

This is definitely a natural highlighter, which is slightly misleading considering the title. It gives a very very subtle lit from within kind of glow. If you like that, then you will probably love that. However, for me I felt like I was really having to look for it, which is very much a shame!

However, there is no chunky glitter, and the colour works really well for my skin tone. So this would probably work really well for those no-makeup makeup days, or for school, or for other situations like that.
