Lancome Rouge In love Lipstick Review 379N

I received a goody bag 'Gift with purchase' from Debenhams recently when I made an order. This included trial sample sizes of make-up and fragrance.

I love these, as you get to try out products you never normally would choose for yourself. Allowing you to sometimes step out of your comfort zone!

Mine included a mini Lancome Rouge in Love lipstick. 

Having never tried any Lancome make-up  at all, it's not something I would have picked for myself. 

But oh my! it was love at first swipe!! 

This lipstick is so creamy yet pigmented and hydrating - all at the same time. 

The wear time for this is incredible - I put it on in the afternoon and it was still there come bedtime. I actually needed to remove it with my bioderma micellar water! Never really needed to do that before?!

Like with most lipsticks, they fade during the day through wear / drinking & eating, they end up fading whilst usually leaving an bold outline for all to see. 

This lipstick seems to somehow fade evenly and leaves a lovely all over stain on the lips.

The shade I was sent 379N looks a very very scary shade in the bullet! 

Would not have even looked twice at this colour. Once on it is an intense plum-y-purple shade which then fades down to a very pretty berry shade.

Very fitting for Autumn and I have been wearing this non stop (even doing housework!!) ... to the point where it broke in half!! So I'm off now to google how to fix a broken lipstick. I know its only a sample size but I love it so much!! Such a different shade to anything I have worn before!

That's it I'm utterly hooked and Lancome in love with these lipsticks!!

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

Pink Pong Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Review

Rouge Edition Velvet

06 Pink Pong

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.
