My All-Time Favourite Drugstore Lip Product

Bourjois' Rouge Edition Velvet lipsticks are by far my favourite lip product from the drugstore! I have spoken about them a couple of times now here on my blog and I still cannot get enough of them; especially now I have added a new shade to my collection, as it has made me rekindle my love for them even more! These liquid lipsticks certainly deserve to be raved about as much as possible in my opinion.

First of all, let's just talk about the formulation... it's truly amazing! Velvet is definitely the correct name for this range as these lipsticks glide on so smoothly and feel really buttery on the lips. Of course, liquid lipsticks have a bit of a reputation of drying out your lips but these ones are surprisingly comfortable to wear. They have minimal tackiness to them and are no where as sticky as some other products that I have tried in the past. Plus, at only £8.99, they are much more affordable than say Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick for example.

There are currently 12 shades in the range but I have heard that a few more are being released very shortly in time for autumn. However, below are swatches of the four shades that I own right now from left to right; 01 Personne ne Rouge, 02 Frambourjoise, 10 Don't Pink Of It & 12 Beau Brun.

In the photograph above, the swatches look glossy but after a few minutes they dry down to a lovely mate finish! I have become obsessed with matte formulas over the last year or so because they make bold colours much easier to wear, as they are less likely to transfer or fade throughout the day. I have to say that my favourite shade of the bunch is definitely the newest edition to my collection, Don't Pink Of It, which I featured in my latest Boots haul. I have only had this shade for about a week but I already love it because it is a great everyday shade that does with almost any make-up look or outfit! As for my favourite bold shade, it would have to be Frambourjoise - which is a stunning bright pink shade.

Overall, I think that the Rouge Edition Velvet range is the best lip product in the drugstore for so many reasons. I think they are just incredible! Have you tried out this product before? If so, please let me know in the comment below what is your favourite shade to wear and why?

The Kylie Jenner Lip

It will probably come as no surprise that I am just as obsessed over the Kylie Jenner lip trend as everybody else is. It seems that everybody in the world is now after that perfect pout! Mind you, I am a little late hopping onto the bandwagon as I wasn't sure whether the nude-y brown look would suit my complexion... but low and behold, it does! Up until now I have definitely been more of a bold lip kinda gal but recently, I have been leaning towards nude shades more than ever before! Therefore, today I wanted to share a few of my favourite products with you that mimic Kylie's look perfectly. Let's get started!

First up is Bourjois' Rouge Edition Velvet in Beau Brun (£8.99.) I have been a huge fan of this range of liquid lipsticks ever since they launched and have raved about them many times on my blog before! So when I found out that they had released a few new shades, including a nude-y brown, I had to get my hands on it pronto. Now, this product is not as nude as the other two in this post. In fact, Beau Brun is quite a vivid nude with brown undertones (it's a pretty hard colour to describe!) It may not be the classic Kylie shade but I have seen her rock a colour like this before and it's still just as gorgeous!

Next is MAC's Velvet Teddy Lipstick (£15.50,) the most famous shade that Miss Jenner is rumoured to use. This lipstick has become so popular over the past year that it's almost always sold out and is near on impossible to get hold of at times! However, luckily for me, my good friend Chloe who actually works for MAC got one for me as soon as it was back in stock. As you can imagine, this shade is just as amazing as everybody makes it out to be. It's the perfect 90's shade that looks beautiful on so many skin tones.

Last but not least is Rimmel's Exaggerate Lip Liner in Addiction (£3.99.) Not only is it near on a perfect dupe for Velvet Teddy, only every so slightly darker, it's an absolute bargain too. I love finding drugstore products like this! I have only recently gotten into using lip liner but now I'm a complete convert and I cannot wait to start collecting some more colours to add to my collection. The Exaggerate range is quite creamy and so I have been enjoying using this shade all over the lips, as well as using it just the outline them.

So, there you have it guys. Those are three of my favourite shades to get Kylie's look at the moment! Which shade is our favourite? Are you a fan of this trend too? Let me know by leaving a comment down below, I'd love to hear your feedback!
