Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lips

I've been long awaiting the arrival of these, and after seeing they'd finally been released I had to get them!  There are 8 shades in total from wearable day shades to glam night out ones I decided to get shades Frambourjoise - a rose coloured shade slightly red, slightly pink & Ole Flamingo - a hot pink.  I was slightly unsure about Frambourjoise as I didn't know whether it'd be too light. I was wrong, its amazing! Personally I have only seen 6 shades as this was all Superdrug stocked, but the shades I saw were very pigmented!

Left is Frambourjoise and right is Ole flamingo!





So what is so great about velvet lipstick I hear you ask?

With its doe foot applicator don't be fooled in to thinking its a lipgloss, because its actually a liquid lipstick! The product comes out shiny but dries matte, you have to wait a minute for it to turn matte. I don't know why it's in liquid form but I have always found with matte lipsticks that I have to apply them with a lip brush and they don't slick on well. (This may just be me! haha)
Bourjois say they will last all day long (literally 24 hours!), I check my lipstick regularly as I'm one of these people who seem to get lipstick everywhere but with this it almost seems silly to check as it just doesn't budge, I wore Flambourjoise all day, drank lots of tea, did a whole lotta talking and then went out clubbing and it was still a mission to get off!

The product itself actually feels quite light and it doesn't feel uncomfortable to wear, its build able which is great to intensify the colour and create a deeper finish.
I've found this product doesn't really dry my lips out compared to other products, which is a bonus as matte lipsticks are sometimes a problem for me. Overall this is an amazing collection. I have been quite dubious about trying the new Velvet Lip trend which is going down a storm in the beauty world but I'm glad I took the plunge with Bourjois. All the swatches I've done with other brands haven't as nearly been as exciting as these ones!
I'm so pleased with these products and I'm probably going to hot foot it down to town to grab more of the range! I would suggest you do too. 

What other velvet lips products have your tried and what is your favourite?

The Rouge Edition Velvet Lips retail at £8.99 in both Boots and Superdrug.

Until next time!

Instagram 2015 best nine

Image
I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy. This also marks my blog starting to include more fashion posts.  Top Middle: This picture was from a monthly favourites review (I believe it was March favorites), I had just received my Zoeva brushes for my birthday which I still absolutely love! And finally got my hands on velvet teddy. Top Right: Who'd have thought that my boyfriend would have such good baking skills that  his cake got in to my top nine?! Every year we try and make the biggest and best birthday cake we possibly can! It tasted lush and was mana

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
