Bourjois Java Rice Powder بودرة وجه الأرز

I really liked it. The powder is light, transparent, and adds a subtle glow to the skin.

I didn't understand this powder and what it's for.

1. The presence of glitter. It is quite noticeable on the face. Yes, you won't look like a Christmas tree, but when you see these individual glitters all over the face under certain lighting, it looks strange. Using it as a highlighter is also not ideal because the highlighting effect is very subtle, and I believe a highlighter should provide an even glow, not just individual glitters.

2. Makeup fixing. I have normal skin that tends to be dry, so I don't really need super strong fixing. I rarely use powders in general. But when I do, I know that I can go from early morning to late evening with a perfectly fresh makeup look. With this powder... after 4-5 hours, my makeup doesn't look as fresh as I expected. The effect is even worse than without the powder, at least in my opinion. I usually avoid matte face products, except for blush. This powder doesn't mattify at all, and for me, that's a plus, but it doesn't provide the main thing - proper fixing. Initially, it removes the residual stickiness from the foundation, but this effect quickly fades.

3. Scent. I was always amazed when girls described the scent of certain cosmetics as "grandma's cosmetics." I used to think, "What does 'grandma's cosmetics' smell like exactly?" So, when I first (and then second, and third) opened this powder jar, the first association that came to mind was a very old grandma, and everything fell into place. Now I know for sure how grandma's cosmetics smell. The scent is terrible. You can tolerate it, but it's very specific. I don't even know what else could smell like that: mothballs or something?

4. Color. The color of the powder is light pink. I saw this in reviews, but I didn't expect the color to be visible on the face. I mean, you can't see the powder itself, it blends well on the face and doesn't look like flour. But the face becomes pink like a piglet. And if you add blush to that, for example, you can imagine what it would look like. I have very fair skin, so when choosing foundation, I always go for the lightest shade in the range. In some brands, like Bourjois, I can't even buy foundation because their lightest shades are either too dark or too yellow for me. Maybe the problem lies exactly in this, and girls with a darker skin tone than mine won't experience this issue.

On the positive side, it's pleasant to use the powder, if you don't pay too much attention to the negatives.

This is a great powder that works well as an under-eye setting powder, but also gives a noticeable highlight. Sometimes, this is the exact effect I'm looking for, so I will continue to use it both as a setting powder and as a subtle highlighter. It has beautiful tiny shimmery particles, not glittery at all, and they have a nice rosy color, not yellow or white. I am satisfied, although initially when I opened it, I was surprised by how shiny it is.

I really love and am familiar with the luxurious scent of this product, which personally appeals to me a lot.

The powder is absolutely fantastic, it has a pleasant color and meets all the functions it is supposed to perform. The sparkle of glitter is simply incredible.

I decided to save money and got this instead of Guerlain. These are not similar and different products if you were using Guerlain before. The scent, in my opinion, is too reminiscent of grandmother's cosmetics. Even my husband asked, "Why does your face smell like that?" I had to open the powder in hopes of airing it out. If it doesn't help, I won't use it. Considering the weight of the product and its price, it doesn't turn out to be very cheap.

This is a great powder that gives a lovely pink glow. It has a very pleasant scent.

I really liked this powder. It has a radiant shimmer that makes the face appear to glow from within. However, if you are looking for a mattifying powder, this one is not suitable for you. The scent is quite unique, resembling the fragrance of grandmother's cosmetics, but it doesn't repel me.

The smell is strong and shines like a light highlighter.

Lightweight, shimmering, and with a universal color - suitable for everyone. The scent is retro and sophisticated. Thank you for the fast delivery!

This product is amazing, the effect is similar to Guerlain's Meteorites! The delivery is outstanding.
