Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick Review



Man on man do I love these little babies! These are the new (relatively) Bourjois lip product that applies a bit glossy but then dries down to the most beautiful matte velvet finish. I bought this when I went shopping with one of my best friends who is obsessed with dark reds at the moment, just like me! I think it has something to do with the weather... but boy weren't we glad to walk into Priceline that day.

What they claims:
"Its soft, melting texture glides on to the lips and turns into a matt, velvety and incredibly light colour. Lips are left smooth and soft as velvet. Enriched with evanescent oils, it’s incredibly sensuous formula provides a soft, second-skin feel, without drying or fading lips."

Pros:
  • Affordable (if you can get it like I did when Priceline had their special and it was only $10 for 1)
  • Long lasting and wears beautifully
  • Very comfortable to wear, not drying at all 
  • Gorgeous vibrant pigmentation 
  • Easy to work with and apply
Cons:
  •  If it's not on special, it is quite pricey in Australia (like every other makeup products) 
  • Not a great range of colours, it is mostly reds
  • I personally don't like the scent
 Overall thought: I absolutely adore these! I just wish that they came in a wider range of colours because all the shades were very bright and none that were just a bit paired down so I could use it daily. Great for people who wants to wear reds everyday though because I swear all the colours were just varying shades of reds. I would definitely repurchase these if I run our or if Bourjois came out with more colours. 10/10

This is the stain that is left on the lips after you wipe off the product:

You can see below that even though they apply kind of glossy before, they do dry down to a beautiful matte velvet finish.

  1. So glad you love them because I FREAKING DOOO! My lips are always quite dry and they peel sooo much. With lipbalm, no lipbalm, with lipstick, no lipstick they will peel. With this, I've finally found a lip product that is matte but doesn't dry out my lips and don't move. I agree that there could be more shades, maybe some berries, more brown nudes too! It's about $20 USD here! Not so cheap either! :p
