Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons | Review & Swatches

Hello lovely people, how's your Monday? Good I hope. Today I thought I'd do a review of some lovely lip crayons I bought last week, which are the Bourjois Colour Boost lip crayons. Now I know I'm a tad late (okay, very late) on the bandwagon with these since they were launched last summer, but I adore them! I just can't get enough of lip crayons, I like them so much better than lipsticks because in my opinion they can be more wearable because you don't have to be so precise when applying them. I think it's a safer option for someone like me who isn't that confident wearing bright colours on my lips.

 

 

These lip crayons are in no way matte, so if you like a slightly glossy finish they will be perfect for you. They just glide on your lips so smoothly and make your lips feel moisturised as opposed to dry. Despite being glossy, they aren't sticky which is one of the best things about them.

 

On the tube they claim to have 'comfort and hydration' for 10 hours! While I don't believe the colour lasts that long, I definitely believe that they keep your lips soft and moisturised for that long, mine felt lovely for hours after the first application. A nice little extra bonus is that they have SPF 15+ which is great to protect your lips when it's sunny.

 

 

 

I picked up Orange Punch which is a lovely coral colour. I've been trying to find a perfect coral lip colour for me and I think I've found it because this is not too bright, it's subtle. Red Island is a very deep red. These lip crayons don't have any shimmer in at all which is quite rare for a glossy formula and definitely one of the best things about them! As for the smell, they just have a lovely barely-noticeable clean scent.

How adorable are the names of these little gems? The rest of the collection are called Peach on the Beach, Plum Russian and Fuschia Libre. You can buy them for £7.99.

 

I have to say, for a spur of the moment Boots purchase I am SO pleased with these! Next I want to try Peach on the Beach. Have you tried these? Did you like them?
