Hiya petals
This post will be about the three shades; 3 hot pepper, 7 nude-ist and 10 don't pink of it, out of the Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipsticks. These lipsticks have a very light weight, creamy formula, which makes them feel extremely comfortable to wear on the lips. They apply on the lips very velvety and creamy, but they dry completely matte on the lips and it honestly doesn't feel like you are wearing anything on your lips. This product has a slight smell to it so some may be put off the smell however the smell does not really bother me.
They come in a cute travel size friendly clear tube with a doe foot applicator which I love as I feel as though this applicator makes it easier to apply the product neatly on to the lips instead of having to use a lip brush.
Here are the swatches of the three lipsticks so you can see the true colour and what is looks like on my skin tone. I am tamil so my skin is in the medium to dark range so I have done hand swatches as well as lip swatches.

From top to bottom
- 7 nudist (beautiful pinky brown nude)
- 10 don't pink of it (deeper pinky mauve nude)
- 3 hot pepper (an elegant orangey red shade)
I have paired each lipstick with a lip liner just because sometimes I feel like I want to darken some of the shades up. Therefore if you feel like the shades are a little to light for your skin tone, feel free to pair up some of the lip liners listed below with the lipstick to get that perfect shade for you or if the colour is correct for you stick to just the lipstick.
"Huda beauty lip contour" in the shade "Cheerleader" all over the lips and then "Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipstick" in "3 hot pepper" for a beautiful vibrant red.
"bareMinerals marvellous moxie" in "Revved" all over the lips and then "Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipstick" in "7 nudist" for a beautiful pink nude.
"Mac lip liner" in "Soar" all over the lips then "Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipstick" in "10 don't pink of it" for the perfect mauve pink shade.
PROS
- Feels like there is nothing on your lips
- Dries matte
- Creamy, velvety feel when applying
- Doe foot applicator is small enough to get good enough precision
- Travel friendly
- Clear packaging
CONS
- Has a slight smell to it which some people might be put off
- A little too drying on the lips after a while
How to use
- First of all, after moisturising my face, I like to go in with my all time fave lip balm at the moment which is the Nuxe paris rêve de miel.
- Apply the rest of my face/eye makeup.
- Take off my lip balm and use a hot towel to rub against my lips to get rid off any dry skin.
- Colour correct my hyper-pigmentation round the corner of my mouth, using the orange colour in my "Anastasia Beverly Hills cream contour palette" in the shade, medium to dark and I use my fingers to do this. I like to apply a thin layer of this orange shade to just colour correct the areas where I can see darker patches
- Apply a little bit of the "Urban Decay naked skin concealer" in the shade medium-dark warm on top, and to blend this baby out I use my nude beauty blender by using dabbing motions to prevent the orange shade from moving around.
- Then I usually line my lips with a lip liner which will go perfectly with whatever shade lipstick I'm using.
- Finally go in with the lipstick and fill in the gaps. If it's hard to get precision with the doe foot applicator, I will go in with a lip brush.
