Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet REVIEW

Hey Guys, so today I thought I'd review the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in shade 01 for you. I wore this at Prom on Thursday as I went for a classic 50s style dress and so I opted for this well pigmented striking pillar box red colour.
                  I heard about these in one of Gabby's (Velvet Ghosts) videos a long time ago, I can't remember which one, but I have wanted one ever since. Gabby said that her favourites was this shade and some of the more nude colours. However, I haven't delved into the nude shades yet, although I'll definitely be purchasing more of these.
                 Firstly, the packaging of this product is truly gorgeous. I think what makes it look so classy is the clear glass effect tube (I don't know whether I'm describing this properly) with the black simple typography over the top. Adding to this the bright red lip-gloss-type-product and you can tell that the product screams sophistication. For a drug store product Bourjois have made it as classic and cosmopolitan as possible.
                The application of this product is made easy with the chunky doe-foot applicator.However, because I went for a bright colour some extra care always has to be taken. Because I wanted my lip to be as perfect as possible I decided to opt for a red lip liner. I used the Maxfactor colour elixir lip liner in shade 10, Red Rush. I think if I were to use my Rouge Edition Velvet in an ordinary everyday circumstance then I wouldn't have used the liner but just to be on the safe side I thought it was necessary. 
                The finish on this product is a beautiful matte look, Although if you prefer your lips shiny then this product does have a ''mirror like shine'' effect range. I personally prefer a matte finish so that's why I chose to get this one.
                Finally, this product seems to last forever. When I was at prom I didn't feel like I had to top my lip colour up or check it every 2 seconds. In fact, I didn't top it up once while I was there (4 hours) although I probably should have done it once just so the colour was still popping. The most amazing thing about this must have product is that it does not transfer! I repeat IT DOESN'T TRANSFER! I think there is nothing worse than when you wear a red lipstick n it transfers onto the glass your using. I really hate that.

Comment down below if you hate that too and if you've ever used any of these products before let me know your views on them.
