I love this eyeshadow! As the name suggests, it is meant to stretch and blend almost indefinitely and it really does! It is extremely soft and smooth (but not powdery or crumbly in any way) and when you use a brush you can really cover your whole eyelid with just one take. This way you can control where you want a more sheer layer or pack on more shadow for a denser colour! It is really lovely.
The shade is very neutral. It is a shimmery taupe. If you wonder (as I did for a long time when I first found out) Taupe is a brown colour but more on the cool side of the spectrum. It has no orange tones in it (as you would find in a warm brown). It is best described as brown with hints of grey and lavender undertones. It sounds complicated but it is really just a neutral gorgeous light brown that is very wearable for work and goes with a lot of looks. You can just wear this shadow on the lid by itself, or with a bit of darker brown ( I use MAC Wedge) in the crease and you are good to go!
Bourjois packaging is very cute. It has an urban chic vibe and all of their packaging is color coded according to the product it contains, so if the shade is brown the packaging will be brown too. It is useful when you need to find it quickly. It comes in a rectangular compact with a mirror and the strip of eyeshadow is quite long so I think it is totally worth the money. Plus you get a real (although small) brush and not one of those crappy sponges with it. I can't really praise this product enough! If you need something easy and neutral for every day - go check this baby out!
