Bourjois Aqua laque liquid lipstick: My thoughts

New in ... Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque liquid lipstick Review

Having tried and loved their Velvet matte liquid lipstick editions, browsing the aisles of Boots I saw there was now a glossier laquer version released. Thought I'd give a go after all their velvet matte lip offerings are brilliant.

They both have the same 'doe' foot applicator and same sleek packaging. 
The laque versions have a eye catching shiny lid, so are easy to differentiate on the make-up stand.

On first application, it feels very very wet and little sticky to apply. Once applied, it feels a little strange on the lips, almost like a watery film (if that makes sense) it's not quite a gloss but not a lipstick, more of a watered down gloss, giving a wet look with a sort of cool drenched sensation. Not tingly but you are aware of it on your lips. 

On my lips it didn't seem to last very long, seemed to slip off very quickly. Bourjois say it provides 10 hours of hydration, which I disagree with. 

I personally didn't like the feel on my lips and my first instinct was to wipe it off - which I fought to see how long it would last on my lips. 

As for the shade I chose a pretty Rose colour 02 Rose on the rocks, it gave a very subtle look to the lips more of a shiny balm.

   So the aqua laque version of the bourjois liquid lipsticks get a miss from me I'm afraid, I shan't be buying any of the other shades. It's a shame because like I said their velvet matte versions are so long lasting and comfortable to wear and I really liked those.

Have you tried the rouge edition aqua laque's? What did you think?

Review

This lip-gloss has an unusual velvety Matte finish to it yet still feels silky on the lips. 

Very strange texture - not quite a gloss, definitely not a lipstick but not as thin as a stain.

Once on this really stays put. Packs a punch and lasts through eating, drinking. You kind of forget it's there really. Its such a light formula. It's only when you occidentally touch your mouth and end up with pink all over your fingers you realize - yes it's still there!

I chose the colour PINK PONG which is a bright hot fuchsia pink.

I wanted something that was out of my nude / safe comfort zone and boy did i pick the right one.

It's a really nice bright shade to wear. Have not yet had the confidence to actually wear it outside, where there are actual people who will see me!!. One step at a time! 

I wore this around the house and it lasted all through breakfast, lunch and more. So they're staying power is amazing. Nice to wear not gloopy, sticky.

With it being a matte formula, i was worried it would highlight any dry flaky bits on my lips, some matte lipsticks have a tendency to do that, but not at all. Very hydrating and smooth on the lips.

There are more subtler shades in this range if your not ready to step into the bold category.

I will definitely be picking some more shades up.

Have you tried the Bourjois velvets? What shade did you pick up?

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.
