It says on the packaging that Bourjois 3D lip Effect:
''Lasts 8 hours, is hydrating and moisturizing and is meant to give volume and shine.''
When I first saw this product in Boots, I feel in love with the packaging and colorfulness and bought 04, Rose Polemic, without even swatching it - I just knew I'd love it.
A lot of the time when someone says this they are proves wrong, when putting it on it does make my lips plumper, shiny and it does give some moisture. Even though it does give moisture I wouldn't really recommend it on dry or cracked lips as it doesn't look very nice!
When my £2 off voucher for another one was valid I jumped at the chance to get another, I felt like getting something more red-ish without being in your face and garish so I decided to pick up 46 - Rose Lyric, a pinkish red.
Let's have a closer look, shall we?
First off: here are some hand swatches so you can get an idea of how they look on my hand:
04 is more of a light candy pink where as 46 is a medium-dark red-ish pink.
The applicator is a little brush which is really useful and easy to use, it glides on very easily and is easy to clean up if you get an inconsistent application.
When it first goes on it does feel a little sticky but after 5 minutes it dries and I sometimes forget I even have it on! Boy, does it stay there. I can tell because when I drink from a glass most of the time none stays on the glass which is a big thumbs up for me. I wouldn't really say it lasts 8 hours, more 3-4 but that is still pretty good and a lot better than a lot of lip glosses that I have tried!
Here is what 04 looks like on my lips (please excuse the messy application, I was in a big rush)
It is glittery/shimmery without being over the top, that is something I worry about with lip colour. You either get all colour and no glitter or too much shimmer and glitter so you can't see the colour well X).
Here is 46, again messy application:
Something I was a bit worried about with this one is that the red tones might come out a bit strong. Nope! I was a little disappointed at first that on my lips it isn't as red as I had in mind and my lips play up the pink tones more than the red. It is still an amazing lip gloss nevertheless and is one of my favorites!
To top it off when you mix both of them together you get a really nice in-between colour, I can't wait to get some more to try out! Also it smells divine! It's a bit more artificial than the Bourjois Blush's but it is a really nice sweet Rose scent and it's not overpowering or sickly at all, score!
Bourjois Lip glosses come in quiet a few colours, it's not just limited to pinks but I'd say most of the colours are Pinks.
I would defiantly re-buy these in all colours even if they are a little bit more expensive than the avarage lip gloss.
I bought mine in Boots but you could probably get them in Superdrug too, for international people, I'm not sure sorry but if I ever do a swap I'll be including one of these ;)
Thanks for reading xx
