Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets

Probably the only drugstore makeup that excites me is Bourjois, I really like a lot of their make-up, especially the nail polishes. Such good quality!

Another product I also love are the Rouge Velvets which are liquid matte lipsticks . I have 'ole Flamingo and love it, so when i found out that Bourjois have new colours I ran to boots. literally, I was on my way to the gym and decided to jog there. Boots is on my way to the gym - so a light jog happened.

The shade I picked up is 'Plum Plum Girl', which is a plum shade, (you think?).

It's a great shade for the autumn/winter months and also different from the usual oxblood shades that become very popular around this time of year.

Plum Plum Girl glides on like a lipgloss, however dries to a velvet, matte lipstick. It will last around 6-8 before reapplication. A few coats need to be applied for the colour to reach its full intensity. I apply one coat onto my lips, then blot with a tissue and then reapply. It is a bit time consuming, but most dark colours are - you need precision.

I would recommend prepping lips beforehand - exfoliation and hydration is needed, otherwise the product will crack and cling onto any dry patches over the course of the day, which we all no is not pretty!It's only comfortable to wear if your lips are hydrated.

The overall colour pay off is lovely - but as mentioned above, a few coats are needed to get the most out of this colour.
