This is a brand new product from french brand that has been one of the most successful ones lately. They released some incredible products that are in trend and the quality of them is amazing.
If you didn't know before, this brand has incredible history.
"In 1863, Bourjois was born on the great boulevards of Paris in the theatre district, at a time when France was the world's second leading economic power. The actor Joseph-Albert Ponsin was the company's first creator; he prepared makeup and perfumes for actors and actresses in the comfort of his own home. In 1868, Ponsin entrusted his entire activity to Alexandre-Napoléon Bourjois. The company blossomed in the hands of Monsieur Bourjois, who made it internationally known."

It was launched in 1879, and they immediately sold two million boxes of this rice powder to women who loved it. They created first product that highlighted skin and added subtle glow. The texture was silky and this was a product that made Bourjois popular worldwide. It was also first best-seller in history of makeup.
This year was their 150yrs anniversary. And in honer of their history Bourjois re-released Java powder. They also re-formulated formula a bit, just to keep in time.The packaging is quite similar, just made out of plastic instead of carton. It's so beautiful. It reminds me of typical Ladurée packaging. Just very parisian and chic.
Powder is slightly pink and is extremely fine. It's a shimmering powder that will brighten your skin and give you an illusion of youth. It can be used as a highlighter or even as a finishing powder. But if you're planning on using it all over your face, be careful. You can get very shimmering face. I use it to highlight my cheekbones and sometimes I use it on my nose, cupid bow or all over my cheeks. You can just play with it and see what suits you the most. It's a versatile product.
It also has a vintage smell to it. To me it's typical rosy smell with powdery touch to it. I imagine woman 100yrs ago smelled like this. But it's not overpowering. It will make you smile.
You will have to pay around 11€/£9.99 to get around 5g of this amazing product.
CONCLUSION:
This is one of the most original and amazing products beauty world released lately. It adds "healthy-glow" to your face and creates flush of shimmer to your skin. It smells nice, and the whole product just screams history and antique beauty. Definitely a collective product.
