Bourjois have recently released a new Rouge Edition Velvet range of liquid lip colour, and in today's post I will be showing you two shades from this collection. The new Rouge Edition Velvet instantly became popular among beauty lovers, and I was curious to see what's all the hype about. Keep reading to find out more about this new lip colour range from Bourjois and what I thought of it.

The Rouge Edition Velvet lip range consists of eight liquid lip colours in red and pink tones, and promises to keep your lips moisturized while wearing gorgeous red lips with a beautiful matte finish.
I got to try two shades from this range: 01 Personne Ne Rouge - a warm orange toned red & 08 Grand Cru - a dark burgundy.
On my lips I'm wearing the shade 01 Personne Ne Rouge, a lovely warm and classy red.

I was surprised to find out the the formulas of both colors were completely different: while the warm red shade had a buttery and nicely pigmented formula that was a treat to apply, the burgundy shade was very uneven with a weird grainy pigment. At first I thought that I might have got a bad product, but from a quick research online I found out that the formula of this color is quite different and not as nice as the rest of the colors from this range. This was a shame because I think it's a pretty and interesting color.

The formula of 08 Grand Cru was a pain to apply, no matter what I did it just wouldn't work. It applied uneven with barely any color, and if I tried to apply multiple coats it just ended up being uneven and patchy. I think this collection would have been perfect without this color!

Taking in mind that the rest of the colors have a completely different formula, I think it's safe to say that this is a great product  after all. I liked the great bold colors and the velvety effect they have on the lips. The consistency and the highly pigmented formula leave a nice stain on the lips, making them a good long lasting product. There is a small downside to the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet range and it's the unpleasant scent of the product, but luckily it faints quickly, so that' not a big issue after all.
