I Stan Bourjois, and It's Finally Being Restocked—Here's What I Love

I'm the first person to admit that I'm a makeup snob. It's not something I'm proud to declare, I'll admit, but I'm not going to lie about it either. As far as I'm concerned, the only way for makeup application to be anything other than a painstaking chore is for the products to make me feel something. And it's for that reason that 99% of my makeup collection is made up of luxury products and brands.

When it comes to shopping for makeup, first, the product has to work in a way that requires minimal effort from me. Secondly, it has to look the part—both on my face and on the shelf. (I'm shallow—what can I say?) Finally, and most importantly, it has to make me feel better about myself—and that's really all this boils down to. If a makeup product causes me stress in any way, shape or form, it's gotta go. And it's for this reason that, despite the fact the packaging is dubious, the prices are low and the branding is way off my usual tastes, Bourjois has remained one of my favourite makeup brands for decades.

You see, Bourjois products have always had a talent for working with whatever situation they find themselves in. Looking for a glowy foundation suitable for everyday wear? Bourjois has got you. The perfect red lipstick? No stress. A blush that breathes a bit of life into your skin without dulling your complexion? Tick, tick and tick. And it makes sense that the brand makes products that speak to those who have an affinity for natural-looking, easy-to-use makeup products—it's French

Having considered a number of Bourjois's iconic everyday essentials for a number of years, it's safe to say that I was devastated when news broke that the brand was ceasing operations in the UK. And I know a huge number of fellow beauty editors felt the same.

But I've got very good news—it's back. Yep, Superdrug is officially restocking Bourjois makeup online. On first glance, it looks as though there may be a few teething issues (for starters, shade ranges look suspiciously limited in areas that they weren't before), but I'll take what I can get. So if you too love easy-to-use makeup that gives you that warm feeling inside when you use it, keep scrolling to shop the nine Bourjois products I don't ever want to be without again.
