It always happens. A new product is released, everyone raves about it and I always give in and need to try it for myself. The Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks from Bourjois were no different. There are 8 different shades in the collection - 01 Personne ne Rouge, 02 Frambourjoise, 03 Hot Pepper, 04 Peach Club, 05 Ole Flamingo!, 06 Pink Pong, 07 Nude-ist!, 08 Grand Cru. I have the shades 03 Hot Pepper which is a bright orangey red and 05 Ole Flamingo which is a bright fuchsia.
"Bold, matte and long-lasting colour with 24hr hold. It's lightweight, velvety texture and non-drying formula gives extreme comfort that doesn't smudge! From sassy reds to vibrant pinks and everyday nudes there is a colour to suit every occasion."
When I first applied these, I wasn't sure, but I'm completely in love now! They apply like a gloss with a doe-foot applicator and dry to a really lovely vivid matte finish. They're so creamy, lightweight and glide on the lips like an absolute dream! In terms of lasting power they are pretty amazing and I have worn the shade 'Ole Flamingo' for a good 10 hours before it wore off, but I do find 03 Hot Pepper seems to only last a few hours, I'm not sure why...
Overall, these are really amazing! I love that they're not drying at all and last for ages without having to reapply. I'm so in love with them and will definitely pick up a few more shades in the future!
Have you tried these? Which shades do you love?
The Hot Pepper one is gorgeous. And looks great on your skintone! I'd never pull it off, haha :) Love the formula of these, the finish is brilliant!
