Rouge edition velvet

-

When the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks first made an appearance, I was instantly drawn khổng lồ them; I surely don’t need any more lip products, but the claims of a soft matte velvet finish, 24 hours lasting power & a non-drying feel on the lips were far too irresistible. Let’s start from the beginning!

About

The Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick is a lightweight liquid lipstick with a velvet matte finish that lasts up lớn 24 hours. It comes in a clear plastic bottle and the cap matches its corresponding shade, which I thought was a lovely touch. This lipstick has a very strong ‘industrial’ smell, which I find very unpleasant, but it kind of fades a few minutes after application. Everything about this lipstick resembles a lipgloss, including the little foam applicator. It’s available in 6 bold shades of red, pink và nude.

Finish & Formulation

What probably makes this lipstick most attractive is that it’s a highly pigmented liquid that sets to a velvet matte finish on the lips. Compared khổng lồ the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer, the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick feels very wet và slippery, whilst the Rimmel one is a much thicker cream. Even though the ‘wet’ feeling disappears, I found that the Bourjois lipstick doesn’t completely dry on the lips; it kind of turns into a powdery finish once it sets and if you rub your lips together, you can feel the lipstick sliding. I totally agree with the claim that this lipstick is not drying on the lips, but if you have extremely dry lips, it can cling lớn dry patches, so make sure to lớn exfoliate your lips và apply a clear lip balm first.

Lasting Power

Bourjois claims the Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick lasts 24 hours, but, wearing lipstick for 24 hours straight is not something I’ve ever needed or wanted to do. I found that this lipstick stains the lips pretty quickly, but it starts to fade around about 4 hours after application. It does come off on my fingers when I press it lớn my lips, & it also comes off on glasses & mugs. It was pretty easy to smudge it and rub it off my lips, but it still leaves a light stain on the lips which only comes off with makeup remover wipes.

Application

I apply the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick straight from the foam applicator, starting with a dot of the sản phẩm on the centre of my lips, & then I blend it with my fingers; that gives a nice sheer tint, so you could stop there, or continue to build up the colour even more. I repeat this process a few more times lớn get a vibrant look, & I finish by using the foam applicator khổng lồ precisely run through & define the edges of my lips. After the application, I noticed the lipstick stained my fingers, which I could only remove by washing or wiping with makeup remover wipes.

Shades

There are only 6 shades available in the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick collection, và they are: Personne ne Rouge, Frambourjoise, Hot Pepper, Peach Club, Ole Flamingo và Pink Pong. The colours are divided into 3 categories of reds, nudes và pinks, but they are all very bold and intense, even the nude ones. I have one of each category – Peach Club, Frambourjoise & Personne ne Rouge; the lightest shade of the bunch is Peach Club, which is an orange-based peachy nude, but definitely more orange than nude. Frambourjoise is a vivid fuchsia pink and Personne ne Rouge, which is my favourite, is a bright mở cửa red.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I think this is a very exciting launch by Bourjois, & definitely an innovative sản phẩm that deserves an honourable mention! I’m a little 50-50 about this product because I love the intense pigmentation, the staying power, the applicator, & the packaging, but I dislike the smell, the powdery feeling, the lack of more natural-looking shades, & the fact that it never really dries on the lips. If it wasn’t for the hype around them, I probably would only have bought one shade, & that would have been Personne ne Rouge, which seems khổng lồ only one that really suits my skin tone. I’m not disappointed but I’m not impressed either, so I’ll stay on the fence this time.
