Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Review + Lip Swatches

The most talked about lipstick! Been curious on trying these lipsticks tapi selalu sold out dimana-mana. Sampai akhirnya pas ke Plaza Senayan aku ke counternya dan katanya masih kosong, tapi kata mbanya kemungkinan di Sephora sudah ada stock. Pas ke Sephora... Tadaa! They have a few colors in stock. Waktu kesana ada beberapa warna tapi tidak lengkap.
After trying several on, I decided to buy nude-ist and beau burn. Warna - warna lain juga sangat tempting, rasanya ingin beli semua tapi aku pilih yang paling cocok sama kulit aku saja. But I'm still curious on trying other colors dan ternyata memang susah banget untuk didapetin. Akhirnya aku beli grand cru di www.makeupindo.com dan beli happy nude year di www.makeuptools.com

Okay let's start the review.

First of all the packaging.
I like the simple yet chic feeling of the packaging. The color of the package also represents the color of the lipstick well, jadi nggak misleading. Paling sebel kalau warna yang terlihat dari package luar beda sama warna lipsticknya, apalagi kalo belanjanya online. Tutupnya pun rapat jadi nggak pernah mengotori make up bag aku.

Second, the formula.
I think it totally suits the name velvet. Karena awalnya creamy tapi endingnya velvety-matte finish which I love. Ketika diapply juga soft banget and very easy. Mattenya nggak bikin bibir kering dan nggak nge-emphasize garis - garis bibir. Pas lipstick sudah kering pun nggak kerasa drying. Jadi sangat nyaman untuk dipakai walaupun harus re-apply beberapa kali dalam sehari. Hal favorit aku adalah pas mulai pudar pun nggak bikin bibir terlihat pecah-pecah, jadi pas di re-apply tidak perlu menghapus seluruh lipstick, cukup ditambahkan saja.

Third, the smell
It has a vague vanilla scent yang nggak terlalu strong maupun terlalu bland.

Here are some pictures of me using the product:

07 Nude-ist

08 Grand Cru

09 Happy Nude Year

12 Beau Burn

All in all, these lipsticks are very light and I absolutely love them! And have nothing bad to say about it.
