Lipstick to me completes a Weekend Face. It took me a while to find a lipstick that works for me and had staying power! Gone are the days of smearing lipstick across your face by accident!
My fool-proof lipsticks of choice are the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. I can't fault them at all! They're the perfect liquid lipstick!

To make these apply smoothly, I prime my lips with the Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub. This gently gets rid of any dry, rough skin on my lips and leaves them feeling smooth. It has a slight tingly feeling from the peppermint oil in it, which means you can feel it working! It also tastes amazing! If you like mint chocolate, or anything mint, you need this in your life asap! The Rodial Stemcell Super-Food Glam Balm Lip follows the scrub to make sure my lips are as hydrated as possible, as the lipsticks are a matte formula. I make sure to do this before I start the rest of my makeup so that it's had time to sink in properly!

I have the shades Nude-ist, Personne ne Rouge!, Grand Cru and Ole Flamingo! Nude-ist is a beautiful your lips but better shade. The pink undertone lifts an everyday simple makeup look! Personne ne Rouge is your classic red! It's my go to Friday night lipstick! Grand Cru is more of a deep red, the perfect berry shade for the colder months! The only thing with this colour is you have to apply a few more layers to get the deep red as solid as possible; not sure if the formula is slightly different, seems to take a bit more work! Ole Flamingo is my least worn out of the four. I'm a red or natural lip girl, the bright pink that is Ole Flamingo is a bit out of my comfort zone; maybe in the summer it will get more use!
The packaging feels sturdy and more high-end, even though they are a drugstore product. They come with a doe foot applicator which makes it super easy to get the perfect cupids bow shape and neat edges! They do have quite a distinct smell, but that really doesn't bother me! They apply so beautifully, just like velvet.
I normally apply one layer, lightly blot, and apply a second layer on top to make sure they stay strong all night long. They barely need touching up even after eating and drinking! Like I said - fool-proof!

Beautiful shades, formula, finish, staying power, and only £8.99! Perfect!
