I wasn't really that fussed about these lipsticks when they were first released. They were receiving a lot of hype in the blogging world but I was resisting really well, which was a little odd for me since I'm lip product obsessed. I guess I was still swooning over the Revlon Matte Balms and felt like I didn't need another matte lip product in my life just yet. But when one of my friends told me that I had to try the new Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipsticks, I sat up and took notice. When someone who's nowhere near as beauty obsessed as I am is raving a product so much, you know it's damn well worth trying.

The finish does not dry out the lips but, be warned, you will need to give your lips a good scrub before applying as the lipstick will sit in any dry patches if your lips aren't super smooth beforehand. Once the product has dried this will not budge, so you're not going to get any nasty smudges or lipstick marks on glasses.

I'm so glad my friend talked me into buying these lipsticks. They make the perfect lipstick for a night out, with their great range of vibrant colours and the fact that you don't have to worry about re-applying them every couple of hours. Some people have commented in their reviews that they really don't like the smell of them but I personally can't notice a particularly bad smell. At £8.99 each, they are verging on the slightly pricey side for a drugstore lip product but they are totally worth it. I don't think I'd go mad and buy the whole range, since they are mostly very bold & bright and something I would reserve for a night time look only, but I'm really happy with the selection I picked up. Of course, it always helps when Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on!
