From time to time I've written the odd beauty post here, but I've decided to make them a regular feature. I'm starting with my latest beauty purchase from Bourjois' recent Rouge Edition Lipstick range. The slick packaging caught my eye in Boots and then I was intrigued by the look of shade 18- Violine Strass.
It's a little darker than the shades I wear most of the time but I partly picked it because it's a colour found naturally in the pigmentation of my lips and despite its purple tinge it's a very natural shade. My lips have been feeling a little dry lately but I was pleasantly surprised by the creamy texture, which was far more moisturizing than I was expecting and left a slightly glossy finish. I didn't have to use too much to get a strong colour and I didn't notice much coming off, which is a huge bonus when it comes to dark lip shades!
Overall I'm really pleased with both the very pretty berry colour and also the texture and staying power of the lipstick. I might just have to go back and have a peek at the other shades! Have you tried any of the Rouge Edition range?
