Bourjois Limited Edition Vintage Rose Candle

So this year Bourjois are celebrating they're 150th Anniversary (wow just think of how many beauty products that have lovingly found there way onto girls dressing tables in that time). To celebrate this whopping milestone the brand have released a limited edition Vintage Rose Candle and re released the iconic Java Rice Loose Powder to mark the occasion. 

So Paris in the 1800s saw the rise of haute couture, the acceptance of rouge (ladies saw this as the only acceptable form of 'face paint') and the creation of the first powder blush, by none other than Alexandre Napoleon Bourjois (ooh la la, you learn something new everyday hey?!) 

150 years later, and Bourjois are still creating beautiful cosmetics with a hint of parisian style. However with all the new additions to the brand, the one product that has continued to win makeup lovers over, time and time again, is the iconic baked blushers.

With this in mind I am happy to say that the Vintage Rose Candle smells exactly like those little pots of blush (so ladies go have a whiff of your little baked blushes or stop by your local Bourjois counter to see what all the fuss is about). I for one cannot get enough of the powdery sweet, yet not overpowering scent (im currently sat admiring the smell as I write this). 

Scent aside, lets take a minute to admire the beautiful packaging. The decent sized dusky pink jar is adorned with a profile silhouette of Bourjois first muse Babette from the 20s, which helps to create a fancy retro feel. The Vintage Rose candle is perfect for adding a touch of parisian glamour to any bedside/dressing table, whilst incorporating the scent of the beauty product that made Bourjois so famous. Have I managed to win you over yet?! haha 

This rose scented delight is available from Selfridges for £9.99
