New and Notable at Shoppers Drug Mart - Bijin Cosmetics!

I came across something new and interesting on my latest foray to Shoppers this past weekend a Japanese inspired makeup line called Bijin - meaning "beautiful". It looks cute and the prices are reasonable but unfortunately I can't tell you much about the palettes as there were no testers so I'm not sure how the pigmentation is. I could only get pictures for some of it so you'll have to go down to your local Shoppers and take a look at it yourself if you want to see more!

Bijin Beauty Tools - $35

These funky and clever dual-ended brushes are the perfect tools for every gorgeous gal on the go! Keep the tools neat and pretty in this fabulous fan-style case. The set includes blush / foundation brush (pink), eyeshadow / lip brush (blue), angled eye shadow / eye smudge brush (purple) and fine liner / ultra-fine liner brush (yellow). 

Love the case and love the coloured bristles - there wasn't a tester and I didn't want to be one of "those" people that manhandle product so I'm not sure how soft the brushes are but they sure are cute!

Bijin Bento Beauty Box Face  / Eye Palette  - $15

The bento box of beauty! Dare to play with this clever double layer face and eye palette – the perfect tool for creating a fun and coordinated look. Four eye shadow shades and one blush shade equals multiple possibilities. Available in Palettes 1, 2, 3, 4

It doesn't show in the picture, but each palette has another layer that opens with the blush inside. The sizing is generous and as I said, I don't know about pigmentation because there was no tester - I'm not crazy about the cardboard casing because I always end up wrecking it by putting it someplace wet - my friend Helen thinks the packaging is really cute and likes how slim it is so it will fit anywhere - I suspect she is less spastic than I am so doesn't have the water concerns.

Bijin Ink Liner - $10

A liquid liner with all the colour and shine you could ever hope for! Available in the shades Cherry Blossom, Cool Cat - turquoise, Violet Vixen, Paradise Yellow - gold, Envy - acid green and Midnight Fox - black. 

There was a tester for one of these and the pigmentation was strong and I especially liked the firm tapered tip!

Bijin Lip Gloss - $10

Finish off any beauty look with these gorgeously pigmented lip glosses. Available in the shades Berry Kiss, Hawaiian Shimmer, Coral Chic and Tickled Pink. 

I also tested this and it comes in a squeezy tube type applicator, the tester colour was quite light but it did seem to be quite opaque and not sticky.


Has anyone seen/bought anything from this line yet and if so, what do you think?
