BOURJOIS - Velvet The Lipstick - Review / Swatches




B O U R J O I S  •  V E L V E T  •  L I P S T I C K

I was kindly sent the new Bourjois velvet the lipstick collection to review. If you want to see actual lip swatches you can watch my YouTube video HERE

I'm going to get straight into it with the packaging -
I really like the packaging of these lipsticks. They're small, sleek and you can see what shade you're picking up.
They retail for £8.99 each & you can pick them up for any drugstore. I have linked each shade below!

There is 12 shades and they're all beautiful! I was surprised that I liked them all as I'm not usually a pink lip person. 
I think these shades would suit all skin tones apart from the lightest shade (Hey Nude) in my opinion because on me it looks like the no lip/concealer lips lol unless I use a slightly darker nude lipliner.

The lipstick itself is sooo nice. I would definitely say they are velvety which when the lipstick is called 'velvet' you would expect it to be..
It's so smooth and glides on, no patches and although its a matte lipstick, its not dry.
When you first apply the lipstick you'll notice how pigmented they are! They also have a slight shine to them but will dry matte.


In my package I received a lipliner which is was unsure of as it is a "universal lip liner" meaning you can use it for any yes any lip colour. I t has no pigment.
It was kind of hard to apply as you cannot see where you have put it and to be honest I don't think it made a difference but I liked the idea of it.


The new "high precision bullet" actually makes it so much easier to apply and because its at an angle I find it glides on much smoother. 


Last but not least! THE SWATCHES
Again, if you want to see these swatches on my lips please go watch my YouTube Video Here!
My faves are 'Brique-a-brac' & 'Brunette'
What's your fave?
