ive got the vert dort or the dark green one, great pigment, great price, it smudges if you really try to rub it off but if you just brush it softly, it wont get smudged :)

I have 62 Brun mordore (medium brownish gold) and 63 Brun rose (medim/dark mauvish brown) and I'm not really a fan. They glide with no tugging and provide medium pigmentation. But can't see the duochrome effect and they also wear off rather quickly...

The pencil itself is really good - glides on beautifully and doesn't smudge on me until the late evening. The colour "Brun Rose" is exactly what i've been looking for for a long time, to suit my light green eyes and dark eyebrows beautifully.
Shame, that the cap broke a week after i bought it.

Mine is Noir bleue. It's a blue with very subtle shimmer.
Very adorable color, pulls more and you get glamorous but not over-the-top blue liner.

I bought this to substitute MUFE Aqua Eyes, the blue one. Turns out this has more beautiful color in my opinion, and it's creamier than makes it easier to apply.

I'm not a big fan of its staying power anyway, I must say it's worse than Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner and MUFE. But for such beautiful color, and such friendly price, it's alright for me.

I was testing the purple one on the counter, and I think I'll get it the next time I visit Bourjois.

It's definitely on par with Urban Decay to me, since UD doesn't impress me that much in the staying power department.

Anyway, it gives great shade if you apply and smudge, great tool to create effortless smokey eyes.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one, but then again my main use for pencil liners is to line my water-line and this doesn't seem formulated for this purpose. It's quite firm and thus doesn't transfer easily or effectively onto the inner lid rim. The firm texture probably indicates that it would be great to use on the actual lid though and the color is just gorgeous, so I'll have to play around with it a bit. I wouldn't purchase again because I generally use a gel/cream liner on my upper lid and save pencils for water-line definition;

I have # 58 ( Noir Bluete) The color is almost like black, but has a bluish undertone which looks pretty on dark brown eyes. The first thing I noticed about it was how creamy it was & how easily It glides across my eyelid WITHOUT any tugging. I hate it when pencil eyeliners tug my eyelids. So much pigmentation in one application.Really like it !

Very pretty pencil. I have the Brun Modore and it's a medium brown with a gold sheen. It glides on easily and is easy to sharpen, unlike SOME pencils.
Unfortunately, it's a little too light for me. My lashes are black so I need a dark colored eyeliner to make the lashline stand out. Also, the wear is pretty good, but I need something totally smudge and waterproof.
Still, thumbs up.

I'm a longtime fan of Bourjois (back to when it was only available in France and UK) but innovation and quality have gone downhill and I only buy products sporadically now.
This line of liners had great potential: testing on my hand, they seemed to have depth and interesting tone with a tiny touch of shimmer. Got the grey and the blue pencils. The former just doesn't have enough color to work on me as a liner and don't expect to have much use for it. The blue, however, is pretty nice - dark blue-black (but definitely blue), soft application and stayed on pretty well for a few hours. I've used it a few times with a fairly made-up eye as well as almost solo; worked both ways. Don't think I'll need to buy it again since it'll last a while but hoping Bourjois starts getting back to its more inventive self.

I went to the Bourjois stall to check out the blushes, but walked away with two of these: Noir Bleute (blue-black) and Noir Emeraude (green-black). I swatched them on my hand and instantly fell in love; it's been so hard to find a metallic blue eyeliner pencil that isn't tacky! This one was perrrrfect. I honestly don't notice the supposed duochrome effect; they just show up as deep dark blue and emerald green to me. The colors *almost* look like black, which makes it safer for work, but the little extra undertone of blue or green flatter my dark brown eyes a lot! More than violet, actually. Previously (on special occasions/when I had the extra time) I would use an emerald green eyeshadow, and a navy one, and just use a wet liner brush, but it's a somewhat fussy. These pencils really save me the trouble, and because of that I've been doing the blue (with light silver eyeshadow) or green eyeliner (with champagne or orangey eyeshadow) look more often, and getting compliments. These have staved off--so far-- my lemmings for the BB Ivy and Sapphire gel liners. :)

I have this in 57 noir emeraude, a green/black/metalic color. They are really smooth, creamy in texture and have a great apperance of looking like you have blended two colors together. I really like these. They dont last as long as high end liners but they have a really pretty application.

I have this in 62 and I love it! It's very subtle, but you can go as dramatic or subtle as you like. The glitter and bronze color bring out blue eyes so well, and I can wear it to school and when I go out partying, it all depends on how you apply it!

I got this in #60 - Gris perle and although I love the color - purple with golden sparkles in it, I really think this liner isn't good at all. Nice color, that's it. Okay, it's not too soft like clubbing eyeliners. But still, smudges like crazy, you can't apply it precisely, wears off....

Won't repurchase this again or buy any other color.

I got this in Vert Dore and loved the color in the store. The green and gold together looked very unique and great for going out. Alas, I found this liner smudged off pretty easily. Like D/S eyeliner...hmm, I'll keep it but I wouldn't get it again.

I bought #61 - vert doré. I love the metallic-y green color -- it's so vibrant! This liner also has great staying power and goes on smooth. Would definitely purchase another color in the future.

I got #60 gris perie. It is a beautiful silvery-purple colour. It is soft and easy to apply. I usually just apply to my lower eyeline, and it gives a subtle look that makes my eyes look more defined. Yet it melts quite quickly. Will not repurchase.

Update: This is just OK. It does have a different finish than any other liner I've used, but the effect isn't always that apparent. I have a feeling I would enjoy some of the other colors better - but it is unlikely that I will try them unless I can get them way on sale.

I'm going to try this a few more times, but here is my current opinion. I have the black-blue color (noir bleute').
Pros: Swipe this on and say "Wow." Truly this pencil gives a combination of color and finish that is hard to describe and I've never seen elsewhere. Duochrome is a good description - two colors at once, and an interesting, not quite metallic, not quite iridescent, glowing (chrome?) finish. This pencil seems too cool for school, but then...

Cons: After I try to smudge or blend this, the finish effect is largely gone. The blue-black color is still there, but the unique effect is not. As such, it still made for pretty eyeshadow, but it did not wear very well - smudged/creased a bit and possibly flaked too (I'm going to try with a different mascara to be sure). I'm also going to try not blending so as to keep the cool finish intact (this might help it wear longer too), but I'm not so good at applying things perfectly.

I picked this up for $5 on clearance, but if it gives me flakes under my eyes I'll still return it. If this didn't have the smudging and flaking problem I would probably collect it in every color - it is that cool looking.

Beautiful Colors! I don't even wear eyeshadow anymore because of these!! And thank god because there was just too much hassle in eyeshadow...these colors are vibrant but not over doing it...they look beautiful for all eye colors too. They are soo easy to apply..the pencil is stiff but soft...I had the brun mondore and gris perle colors and they went beautiful with brown eyes...I'm looking forward to picking up the blue and green colors too! A little expensive but I use eBay for all those purchases! Much cheaper

I got the noir bleute pencil, which is black blended with blue resulting in an intense dark indigo color. I LOVE IT. I have light brown eyes and this one makes my eyes pop, lasts all day as well. Very happy with my purchase.

I wasn't an eyeliner person until I got this. I don't even wear eyeshadow anymore because of this! It is SO pretty! I have 61 Vert Dore, which is a beautiful yellow-green color. It looks like I blended two pretty colors together. The pencil itself is also a pretty green color, and it looks so cute in my makeup bag. This pencil is soft and nice and if I wanted to blend it, I'm sure that I could. I also like it being soft because it doesn't tug at the skin around my eye like other liners that I have tried. It's not too expensive, and not too cheap, but I would glady pay more if Sephora would keep on carrying this :(

I line my top eyelid only with this, but at the end of the day I have a little green line from when I have my eye open all day. But it doesn't bother me because I just wipe it away with my finger. No big deal ;-) But it also keeps on looking like I'm wearing two blended colors! This eyeliner is amazing! I may even get more colors and yes I would recomend this to a friend!
