The most anticipated French makeup brand, Bourjois has opened its first kiosk in Sunway Pyramid last weekend. This highly raved mastige makeup brand was brought in and distributed by none other than Luxasia, Asia’s leading distributor of world-renowned fragrance and beauty brands. Here’s a fun fact. Luxasia has always known to be distributing premium brands and Bourjois is their first mastige brand. What do you do with your first mastige baby? You make it big. Their first kiosk in Sunway Pyramid Level LG1 will be the proof of success. It is the first kiosk ever in the world for Bourjois. Luxasia have successfully put Malaysia into the benchmark map for the rest of the world to follow.

Last week I took some time off and drove all the way there to be a part of this new excitement. It was a weekday so the crowd was not excessively huge that I’m afraid I will interrupt the kiosk daily sales operation. I was able to roam around the kiosk, taking my sweet time with photos and swatching some of the products that I was intrigued with. This will be a picture heavy blogpost with lesser words from me 😀

Bourjois (pronounced boor-JWAH) kiosk in Sunway Pyramid is located at LG1. It is situated right in the middle of the interlink passage between the old wing and the new wing. Whether you are coming from old wing or the new wing, just go to level LG1 and walk to the middle of the interlink passage way between the two wings. It is very easy to spot, really. Dr. Jart kiosk is right next to them as well.

The kiosk is relatively large and spacious. There’s two entrance and on each entrance you will see a podium full with Bourjois makeup products. Basically it’s like the summary of what is available in Bourjois. Both podium is the same except for the product arrangement.

I have to start with the one thing that everyone’s been raving about. Healthy Mix Foundation. It is a part of base product and this whole section here is all about base makeup. At first I was overwhelmed with the amount of products and I kept thinking and repeating ‘where to start?’ in my head but once I calm down and I was left alone, I knew exactly how and where I’m going to start 😀

Here’s something you should know about Bourjois before heading over to the kiosk. Just to help you a bit in planning your purchases 🙂

Bourjois is having an introductory offer for their Top 3 Worldwide Recognised products, starting from 1st June to 15th June 2014.

• Rouge Edition lipstick at only RM33.90 (Normal price: RM39.90)
• Healthty Mix Foundation at only RM49.90 (Normal price: RM55.90)
• Little Round Pot blush at only RM33.90 (Normal price: RM39.90)

I would assume by now you have already gotten some idea on how it is from numerous bloggers reporting since it is opened on the 1st June. Well, first of all the kiosk is located at a mall which is deemed far and outskirt by most people. I have a mixed feeling about the location. I don’t go Sunway Pyramid often but I would drive all the way there if I needed to find something. Yes it is far for me no doubt. I have to go through quite a few toll from Kajang. As for the kiosk, I think it is quite nicely done and bright. If you are as clumsy as me you got to be extra mindful of your steps there because the kiosk is a few inches raised up from the original mall flooring. I nearly tripped myself so try not to reverse without looking, aight?

First time being at the kiosk could be a little bit confusing. Some of the product display are a repeat due to the extra display shelving done prior in order to accomodate future new products. It was not a big deal at all. Just thought you might want to know 😉 . I also have a mixed feeling on the price. Some are affordably priced such as Healthy Mix Foundation, just to name one but there are also some that might be slightly too expensive like the Gentle Nail Enamel Remover, just to name one as well. So the price is neither expensive or cheap. It’s on the affordable side. I also learnt that Malaysia pricing is actually cheaper than Singapore after conversion. So most people would prefer to buy from Malaysia when they can. To my surprise, there is no eyebrow pencil to be found. Only eyebrow tint. Although there is three different types of liquid eyeliner available, I was even more surprised that there was no single felt-tip eyeliner. Bourjois liquid eyeliner selection is really odd. I also didn’t reach out for mascara because I find the tube to be rather huge. However I’ve heard good reviews on their mascara. Perhaps I’ll pick up a tube next time when I’m out of mascara 🙂

So what’s next for Bourjois? Knowing that this is one of the most anticipated and highly raved mastige brand, you can be rest assured that Bourjois will definitely expand its availability to more locations that is easy to access for everyone. Get ready for more updates on this soon 😀

Are you one of Bourjois fan? I know some go cray cray over Bourjois 🙂 . What do you think about the brand and product overall?
