FOTD - Putting Bourjois products to the test!

I was recently sent a few bits from Bourjois by Wendy at their press office to have a play with - a mascara, a lipgloss and an eye-pencil - of the three pieces, the eye pencil had instant appeal to me as it was a fab electic blue colour (the shade I recieved is No 46 - Bleu Neon), and boasts of being waterproof... Apparently the "Contour Clubbing Waterproof" liners are a fairly new product in the line - they are available for £4.20 at ASOS or in Boots and Superdrug stores nationwide...

After recieving these products it occured to me that it has been AAAAGGGGGEEES since I picked any products up from the line - I used to adore the double ended mascara when I was younger. I believe it's fairly common knowledge that Bourjois products are produced in the same factories that produce a lot of the Chanel products, so I decided to pick up a "Shimmering Shine, Liquid Eyeshadow" in shade No 33 - Beige Metallique, which looks like this -

I picked this up because I had a feeling it might make a good multipurpose product - ie a liquid eyeshadow, an eyeshadow base (in the same vein as UDPP in Sin?), and also as a liquid highlighter which could be used on the face... I still need to give this product a good test out, so will report back on this! (I also had a good look at the other liners available in the range - there were some interesting looking "duochrome" liners which I might pick up later on...)

Anyway, I used these two products to create this look - I was going to work, so this is really as loud as I can go unfortunately lol... I was advised in a recent FOTD post that I don't smile enough (I do this on purpose as I hate my teeth, and think I generally look quite strange when I smile...), but I made a special effort with the smiles today...

So how well did the Bourjois products perform?
I wore the look for a delightful NHS shift in the community for 8 hours,so altogether was wearing the makeup for 9 hrs between the pics being taken above and the pic below...

I'm actually really impressed with both the liner and the liquid eyeshadow, given the price, the liner lasted really well - it did loose some of its intensity, but it is still very much there and really quite vivid still - the metallic sheen that the liquid shadow produced lasted well, akthough dod fade slightly in terms of colour (The light at the time the second photo was taken does it no favours really...) - but not bad for drugstore!

What do you think? Any other product recommendations from Bourjois?
