I’ve been a fan of Bourjois products for years now and it’s probably my favourite budget beauty brands. I own lots of their products from lipsticks to blushes to foundation and I’ve never been disappointed.
Most recently my favourite product from Bourjois is the Java Rice Powder (or Poudre de Riz de Java) and since it’s now summertime (apparently) this product is perfect for a pretty summery glow.

The Poudre de Riz is a lightly scented powder with a shimmer and a ‘radiant and velvety finish’ to create a ‘youthful glow’. What’s really cool about this is that this product was original created by Bourjois in 1879 as a setting powder. It was discontinued some time in the 1930’s but in celebration of their 150th anniversary they have reinvented it and it’s back! Check out the original poster!

The Java powder only comes in one shade but claims to be ‘universal’ and to ‘light up all skin tones’

LOVE the packaging of this product so much! In keeping with the reinventing of the vintage product Bourjois have given the new powder a vintage look. The new packaging is very similar to the original one, but with a slight modern edge.
The powder is a pink colour and the shimmer is obvious when you look at it, plus it smells amazing! So if your looking for something a little different from your plain powder then you need to give this a try! I would use sparingly though if using it to set as it is quite sparkly.
I really love this powder and would definitely recommend it to all of you!
If you fancy giving it a go you can get it from Boots for £9.99 and it is currently in the 3 for 2 offer!
Have you tried this powder? What are your other favourite Bourjois products?
