There’s a lot of newness coming from Bourjois so I’ll divide it up into several posts, but starting with Bourjois Rouge Edition Lip Velvets, which are the first to launch in April. The Bourjois Rouge Edition Lip Velvets are liquid lipsticks – matte – with strong hold. Bourjois says 24 hour hold which to my mind isn’t that useful but it’s their way of saying that it stays put! There are eight shades coming – above from left to right are: Frambourjois, Pink Pong, Nude-ist and Hot Pepper (loving the names!).
I wore Nude-ist yesterday and unlike most mattes, I didn’t find it drying, but I only wore it for about three hours so I need to do it a little longer to be really sure. As you can see from the swatch, the colours are intense; I noticed that you don’t get too much on the doe’s foot wand meaning that you can build it up a layer or two for even stronger colour and not end up with mega-pigment lips too soon! The formula – once dried – feels as though you are wearing nothing!
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lip Velvets launch in April for £8.99 each (I am sure Bourjois prices are sneaking up!).

I kust bought Peach Club and I love the shade. But the texture… Well, not a love at first sight, but we’ll see how things will develop 🙂
These look really nice. Nude-ist looks lovely.

nothing is clear from the review. You should have on your lips would show swatch on hand, without lip swatches considered wrong view.
Oh my word. Is there actually a need for that kind of conment?
Rude, much? Sorry, but Jane is kind enough to share exciting beauty news and swatches with us, there’s no need for your attitude…
Hmmm, a piece of advice. The next time you feel it necessary to be rude and critical, a) make sure you can express yourself clearly in a language that makes sense, my 7 year old has better language ans grammar skills. Oh and b) I suppose you have a blog and know everything there is to know about it, I mean, given your clear knowledge to be critical of others, you must be perfect!
While I completely agree that Rasmi’s comment came across as rude and unnecessarily critical, it seems blatantly clear that English is not her first language, so I found your own comment just as unnecessarily insulting. I very much doubt that you have the same “language ans grammar skills” (I think you meant ‘and’ there) in her language as a 7 year old in her home country has, after all!
LOL life must be lonely on your side of the web! 😀
I think Rasmi meant “thank you for taking the time and trouble to review these, we are all very grateful” 😉
I am so beyond excited about these aaaahaahahah :D!
Rasmi, nothing is clear in your comment.
Oooooooo exciting. The nude one looks right up my street 🙂 x
I have 2 Velvet and the colours are beautiful, so is the packaging, but the texture is drying. I fully agree it´s like wearing nothing on the lips as the texture is perfect but it is so drying. It wears very long though so I love the Bourjois Velvet even if they are really drying for the lips.
