Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets




So a couple of days ago I shared with you via this post, and my brand new Youtube channel, the small handful of products which I'd ordered from Boots online. Within the mix were two of the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. I have one word for these. Amazing.

So gals and guys, lets get into it!



Left : Grand Cru, Right : Personne ne Rouge    (please excuse the disgusting looking hands, darn camera)!


As you can see in the photograph above, the darker shade of the two really didn't swatch very well, for a first impression it just seemed so so sheer and if I'm honest perhaps a little blotchy, I definitely held a lot more hope for the lighter/brighter of the two. Saying that though, just you wait until you see the lip swatches down below, they tell a completely different story!






Above I am showcasing the lighter shade of the two which I picked up, Personne ne Rouge (my personal favourite).
Below, in the shade Grand Cru.






Despite the hand swatches which I've shown above for these two lip products, these apply absolutely beautifully to the lips.  Although they appeared sheer, and the darker of the two seemed blotchy via swatches, they do not apply to the lips in that way at all..  well they do apply just a little sheer, but as a whole they show up as a lovely block of colour, which is fo' sure build-able - if that makes any sense?!

I actually like to take the applicator out of the packaging, scrape off any access back onto the nib of the tube and apply that way, I will normally repeat this around 3 times, each time with the colour appearing noticeably bolder and true to what you would think it to be, I have also found that this helps in a way of 'sealing the deal' each thin layer securing the layer below.

If you were to watch someone apply one of these to their lips you'd think that it looks like any old normal liquid gloss, but its what you actually feel which makes this product so different, so unique, so..yes I'm saying it, great. I am not even lying when I say this, but it actually feels like you're coating your lips with a layer of some sort of liquid - gloss - velvet hybrid goodness, it just feels amazing on the lips, but keep in mind that it does soon dry out to a matte formula (as you can see in the images above) it is slightly drying, but its nothing that a small coating of balm can't handle. I also find the staying power to be impeccable.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone who may be after a matte formula liquid lipstick, I think that they are great, and for a retail price of £8.99 you can't possibly go wrong, I will definitely be purchasing a few more shades - eeeekkkk!



If you have any more questions about these products or perhaps a request for a future post, please do let me know in the comments down below.
