My every day makeup is not actually very exciting, the main thing I change up is usually my lip colour, the easiest way to change up a look in my opinion! As you can imagine, this means I have a massive range of lip colours, ranging from the reddest lipstick to the nudest of liquid lipsticks. Continue reading to hear my thoughts on the new Rouge Velvet the Lipstick from Bourjois!
This new range of lipsticks from Bourjois has definitely got my attention though, super pigmented, creamy, comfortable and totally matte, what more could you ask for from a lipstick?
The range has a great selection of colours, with 12 shades to choose from. I've got five which I have tested here and loved! These lipsticks apply like a dream- initially it feels like a creamy lipstick, within a few seconds it has set and is totally matte. The lasting power is great, though I do have to top up after a meal, this doesn't bother me in the slightest as I don't think I've ever tried a lip product that doesn't need a touch up after food.
What I love about these lipsticks and what I think sets them apart is the colour payoff/opacity of the colour and the fact that they set completely matte while still being very comfortable to wear. For me, these have the impact of a liquid lipstick without feeling drying or causing that dreaded line on the inner lip *shudder*
The shape of the bullet makes applying the lipstick mega easy, it's a sort of teardrop shape that curves to fit the lip, with sharp edges which means you can easily use them to line your lips- I didn't use a lipliner for any of my swatches and there's still plenty of definition.
My only niggle is that I find the packaging a little tricky, the plastic is very solid and the lid is quite difficult to click on and off, but it's just a minor annoyance!
Swatches:
Here are the swatches for the lipsticks, I've included some full face shots for some of the shades so you can get a better idea of how the lipstick looks on.These were all with one swipe of lipstick so you can really see what I mean about how opaque they are!
01- Hey Nude!- A beige-y nude.
02- Flaming Rose: Light Pink nude.
05- Brique-a-brac: Light browny red.
03- Hyppink chic: Mauvey pink.
08- Rubi's Cute: Ruby red.
L-R: Hey Nude!, Flaming Rose, Brique-a-brac, Hyppink Chic, Rubi's Cute.
These lipsticks are fast reigniting my love for traditional bullet form lipsticks, I think I need the whole collection!
