It's mini day! Well, we've had one item about a minuscule product, and here's another - so that sort of counts as a 'day'. Look, it does - quiet you down the back.
Lovely reader Bee sent me a mail to tell me about Bourjois' range of Mini Goodness - it's so good they even created a totally separate fancy Flash website for it. You may remember around Christmas time we had an 'Ask And You Shall Receive' about the phone charms, and I blogged that they could be found in Boots. Truly I thought this was the end of the matter.
But there's more tinyness than glossy phone charms to be had, gals! Oh yes. Oh GOD YES! Ahem. How's about 28 gorgeous individual mini eyeshadows that you can customise yourself into themed palettes? Uhuh? Liking the sound of that? And so you should - each little mini shadow comes with hints for 2 other shades it'd work well with to create a colour 'story', and you can copy Bourjois' suggestions, or create your own looks. Once you've decided on your trio, there are two adorable little printed compacts into which you can snugly nestle them. Cute, kitsch and very, very desirable.

That's not all - there are also mini nail polishes in a blimmin' massive 30 tiny shades. And I particularly like what they've done with these - they've arranged them into collections named after cities - so for example, the Diner a Paris set contains 5 polishes in seduction shades of red, maroon and deep deep like black. Cocktails a Barcelone is a bigger selection of 7 shades, going from blue through orange and electric pink.
And lastly, (I'm almost out of gush but I'll valiantly struggle on) are the mini gloss phone charms. Now, not mad on phone charms me, what with not being 12, but in the case of mini-mising necessities on a night out, I might relax my rigid rule. There are 8 shades in various finishes to tempt us too, and it'd be such a shame to deny ourselves the treat, wouldn't it?
How and ever, the only stumbling block seems to be where to buy. I have actually seen loads of the phone charms in Boots since our first post about them, but I have no recall of seeing the shadows or polishes. The mini bourjois site seems to indicate that Superdrug is your only bet purchase-wise, so if you live in Santry, Tallaght, Wexford, Belfast or Limerick, you could well be in luck. If you've seen them, let us know when and where!
