Bourjois Color Boost Glossy Finish Lipstick – 02 Fuschia Libre

BOURJOIS COLOR BOOST GLOSSY FINISH LIPSTICK: 02 FUSCHIA LIBRE

Hi Beauties,
Last year was the year of crayons. Many brands were coming up with their own version of lip and eye shadow crayons. Most of them were in retractable formats, but some were in the sharpenable form also. I have tried almost all the brands available in India, and especially liked the Bourjois lip crayon which I am going to review today.

From The Website: A LIP CRAYON BURSTING WITH VIBRANT COLOUR AND IRRERISTIBLE MOISTURE
With its melting formula, Color Boost leaves a radiant veil of colour on the lips with just enough shine and moisture to enhance each shade.A new generation formula that provides a bare lip sensation thanks to its light and non-sticky texture. With its silk extract formula, Color Boost brings comfort and hydration to your lips for 10 hours.Its waterproof colour and SPF15 make Color Boost both practical and beautiful!

Available in 4 luminous, easy-to-wear colors.

Price: Rs. 785/- for 2.75 gm of product.

My experience: Let me tell you that the best thing I like about this crayon is the fact that there are four shades in this collection, and all the four shades have been released in India. How I hate the fact when make-up brands think they know more about us than ourselves, and only release the shades which “THEY” think will suit us!!! Today, I have reviewed the shade “02-Fuschia Libre”, which is a hot pink color, and will suit fair to medium skin tones very well.

Among the various lip crayons I have tried last year, I have loved this brand the most. The product comes in a twist-up, retractable plastic body, which is color co-ordinated with the shade inside. The fragrance is mild…rather like “Clove oil”…and has a nice, plumping effect on the lips. The product achieves true color in 1-2 swipes. It is very moisturising and hydrating on the lips. The formula is light,balmy, andnon-sticky. It goes on very smoothly on the lips without any tugging at all. Contrary to its claims, it does not stay on for 10 hours; rather it has a decent wear time of 5-6 hours without any food. A light snack will remove the gloss, while a heavy meal will wipe the color off leaving a mild stain. It is rather transferable but does not fade unevenly. It does not dry out the lips and also does not sit on the lip lines. It does not feather nor bleed at all…not even in these hot summers.
It gives a glossy finish to the lips which turns semi matte in 2-3 hours. It has a SPF of 15, which I think is good enough for lip products. However, I don’t think that it is a “lip balm” per se…it is not going to treat your dry and chapped lips. But in case you have dry lips, this crayon will not accentuate them either…but will give rather a nice, polished finish to them.

The fact which does disappoint me is that it has only four shades, such a lovely product should have had many more shades. However, they have all the basic colors, in the shades of Red, Pink, Orange and Brown.
