Red Lip Month: Bourjois Color Boost in Red Island

My love for Bourjois is pretty much eternal. Their products (most of them) are nothing short of incredible, and their lip crayons have joined the elite ranks of my favourite lip products. They're lightweight, have a super smooth application, waterproof and even boast an SPF of 15 whilst moisturising and pampering your treasured pout. 

This colour is a darkish red, leaning slightly towards blue toned, but has a beautiful sheen that reflects almost gold in the light. It has great staying power, easy application and a little goes a long way, so it's worth the money paid. Plus with the 3 for 2 offer going on in Superdrug and Boots in the UK you can get even more for your money. Plus this can be used year round, unlike their super bright summer pink & coral colours :P 

Red Lip Month: Maybelline SuperStay 24 Color 510 Red Passion

I love long lasting red lips! I love non-transferring colour, being able to eat, drink and chatter away without reapplying my lippie and feeling confident for hours on end. 

 This little beauty is my favourite long-wearing lip colour. You use the coloured wand to apply a thin yet quite opaque layer over your lips, let it dry for 1-2 minutes, then apply the white balm end that gives your lips that just-applied, fresh-as-a-daisy shine that I love so much.

This colour is quite neutral so will wear with both pale and warm skin colours quite well without making your skin look washed out. 

The one thing I must say is that the balm end runs out pretty quickly due to reapplying it frequently, so buying an extra balm is advisable.

It's a great price and currently in the UK there's a 3 for 2 offer in Superdrug so nip on over, see if there's anything you like :P
