I reviewed Clairns 3 Dot Liner - link a few posts back
and although many of you loved the concept some felt the price tag was a little too steep
which is completely understandable so with that in mind I hit my local Bourjois stand
and tracked down their alternative - Bourjois Intuitive Liner.
Bourjois Intuitive Liner comes presented within a sleek black plastic pen style tube
which I feel looks just as good as any of the pricer versions of the same liner - they all seem to be
packaged in a similar style truth be told.
The nib is a three pronged felt tip style which allows precise application with minimal fuss.
At the moment the Bourjois Intuitive Liner only comes in black but as most will use it to dot on the
liner rather than draw thick or heavy lines on the eye it is pretty much a suit all option
and will not be harsh on the palest on skin tones.
I quickly want to mention that it is a true black with no blue or grey leanings
but it is not as intense in colour as the Clarins version.
So how do you use this liner and why the three dot approach?
Well you simply dot the liner along the lash line (it is suitable for both the upper and lower lash lines)
with the aim of trying to get as close as possible to the root of the lashes.
The idea is that the dots of liner accompanied with a coat or two of mascara gives the impression
of longer and thicker eyelashes with next to no work.
You can of course use the liner to draw normal lines on the eyelids if you wish.
For me this is a great and innovative product that is perfect for ladies like myself who don't
really wear thick liner but would still like to define their eyes somewhat
and let's face it who doesn't want to give the impression of longer, thicker eyelashes.
It is also wonderful for those again like myself who have hooded eyelids as it does not swamp
the eyelid and in return makes the eyes look a little more open.
The main question most will want answered will be is it much different from the Clarins version
and in a nut shell no - they are almost identical products but with different names
but with a slight difference in colour pay off with Clarins being a tad more intense.
Bourjois Intuitive Liner claims to wear for 24 hours - sorry I'm not for sleeping in my make-up but it did
stay on place for a good eight hours.
Bourjois Intuitive Liner is meant to launch on the 15th but it has already
sneaked into my local Superdrug but isn't online just yet -£6.99/0.66ml
Can't wait to pick this up!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great bargain :)
DeletePretty pretty eyes. You've sold it to me!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty, but I don't think it's as black as I like my liquid/gel liners to be.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, when applied thick it is really black but like you said not really the same depth as a gel liner.
DeleteClarins do one just like this but alot more expensive. Think I will have to try this one

WELL I could repeat that rant from last time.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll just say that if these ever get non-black options, I might pick one up (for some reason I'd be in love with a hunter green version YUM). But I kind of lucked out on lashes, since mine are long and thick naturally. >>
You know what you could be on to something, I bet it's not long before coloured versions hit the stores...perhaps ones to enhance eye shades? You lucky lady I'm tres jealous ;)
DeleteI know this might be a silly question but could this be used on the actual eye line? Because of its felt tip I'm kinda thinking not?
ReplyDeletex
Not silly at all :) I didn't try it on my waterline but it doesn't say it can't be used there so I'm guessing it would be safe to do so.
DeleteGlad there is a cheaper option to the Clarins one, I think I'll try this first and see how I get on with it.

Yay enjoy!
DeleteI have to admit this is one trend I just don't seem to get xo
ReplyDeleteI'm like that with BB Creams so I hear ya :)
Deletethis is awesome !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteOh gods, not another liner for my exploding collection! Yet how can I resist...?!
ReplyDeleteHow easy is it to use exactly? Like on its own without additional liner/shadow? Also, is it easy to remove or do you get lingering black smudges on the cotton pad the next day?
It's so different from the products I owned before that I'm probably going to give it a try, even if it does seem gimmicky right now to me.
You can't ;) haha only kidding but in all seriousness it is one of the easiest products to use in regards to it being an eyeliner and the photos above are of it on it's own - i'm not a massive eye makeup wearer other than mascara. It removes easily with a decent eye make-up remover...hope this helps :)
DeleteI didn't know bourjois made one of these....I am definately picking it up. Thanks for letting us know!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! forget about the eyeliner. How long are your lashes?!
