Grand cru
Hey everyone
When I heard that Bourjois were releasing a matte cream lipstick, I got so excited. I love bold lips, but when they have a glossy finish I get so paranoid that it's going to smudge all over the place, so I usually try to stick to matte finishes.
Now usually when a lipstick comes with that 'Matte' Label, they usually have the unwritten 'drying' label, Well not these bad boys! They don't moisturise your lips by any means, but they don't dry them out.
When you first apply the lipstick, it really does feel like a cream and then dries down to a matte finish that is going to stick around all day. Even with eating and drinking you don't really need to reapply this, It does fade slightly, but only to a less bright version of what you started with, but it does stain the lips as well, which to me, is a plus.
It does have quite a chemically smell, but that usually disappears when you put it on your lips, so nothing major to worry about, but if you are really sensitive to scents, then you may want to give it a wiff in store.
A negative about this product is that it does take a while to set and dry down to that matte finish, and then by the end of the night, when i've reapplied a couple of times, and been eating and drinking, it just doesn't seem to completely set, which doesn't really make sense, unless it's something to do with oil build up on my lips or something? If you have noticed this, let me know!
I have 3 shades, 2 Frambourjoise, 6 Pink Pong, 8 Grand Cru.
- Frambourjoise is a pinkish red
- Pink Pong is a bright blueish pink
- Grand Cru is classic deep red
I really like these products, they don't feel too heavy, especially for a bright, bold, matte lip, and I recommend picking some up to try.
Something to note, I've only been able to find Grand Cru on ASOS.
If you've tried these or are interested in trying them, let me know down below!
