Brand name: Bourjois

Edition: Rouge Edition Velvet

Shade I used: 08 Grand Cru

Finish: Matte

Form: Liquid

Price: £8.49

Size:

So here is the list that I came up with as I wore this out on different occasions:

Pros:

1) Vibrant Color

  • The color actually made my teeth look whiter than it actually was which was an added bonus.
  • You can also choose the intensity of the color by applying different layers of the lipstick and then blotting with tissue paper:
  • Lighter look: 1-2 layers of lipstick
  • Darker: 3 layers of lipstick
2) Stays on for a Very Long Time
  • I had pizza with my friends on a night out and the lipstick stayed on the whole time without a top up.
3) Easy to Put on (Lip-Gloss Wand Shape)

4) Lips Didn't Feel Dry When Wearing It for Hours

  • Usually, it's really easy for your lips to dry out when you have any lipstick but I have not felt the need to reach for my Vaseline at all when wearing this lipstick.
5) Small Size (so it can fit in small clutches.)

Cons:

1) It takes a really long time to dry (unless you blot your lips with tissue paper).

  • In my experience, it takes an hour to dry if you don't blot the lipstick after applying it.
  • With blotting and reapplying, it takes about 30 minutes to dry.
2) It is super-pigmented so if you smudge it, it's really obvious.
  • Whenever I make a mistake, I have to have foundation and a wet wipe on standby so that I can wipe the error and then cover it with foundation because sometimes the lipstick stain doesn't come off.
3) Hard to Remove with a Wet-Wipe
  • When removing this lipstick, I have to wipe hard and there is still some red staining on my lips.

Conclusion:

Despite that it can be a little messy (maybe because I don't have much experience with liquid lipsticks), I really like this product because the color is amazing and really good value for money.

When applying this, I use a cotton bud to achieve crisp and clean outlined lips. I also have naturally small lips so when I put this on, it made my lips look a lot bigger.

I don't think it's too expensive either considering that I've seen lipsticks that cost £20 that don't have this level of intensity of color.

On an additional note, I recently ran out of blusher so I used a spot of the lipstick (because it's highly pigmented) and mixed it with my moisturizer and it actually worked really well.

Rating: 8/10

They also have many other shades too so if this one doesn't match your skin tone (or maybe you want a different color), feel free to pick!

Hope this helps!
