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.

What's in my bag tag- School Edition.

As it is the start of September many of you have probably gone back to, or started high school ,or college and because of this I came up with the idea of combining  a 'what's in my bag' tag with a school essentials type thing. It also then gives you some ideas about what you might need if your starting a new stage in your education; everything from beauty to planning covered.

 

My bag is actually an old season Next leather look shoulder bag, that I happened to stumble upon in a charity shop. Now at school we have been told that we are having bigger books this year and so my bag is bigger so I can fit them in; it is slightly bigger than your average shopper bag. It has a quite large oblong pocket at the front which would be perfect for those of you who have large purses and also a zip compartment at the front which is really hand for throwing your phone in and headphones- this pocket is actually quite deceiving and is bigger than it looks. The main section of the bag is what feels like suede lined (although I don't think it is) and has an inner pocket, phone slot and slightly larger slot next to it for, lets say your camera. It has also got a large zip pocket on the back of the bag.

 

 

In the first large pocket of my bag there is a small packet of tissues and a compact mirror. I can tell you now that after a few weeks this is also where I will find a hoard of lip products that I have felt like I haven't seen in years as this is what usually happens. Honestly, last year I ended up with roughly 5 various lip products in my blazer pockets. Currently, there is only one lipstick in there, which is a YBF lipstick in shade popular primrose. It is such a pretty everyday shade. I love it! And the mirrored packaging is super cute too... although I can't find a link to leave you, sorry.

 

 

The main section of my bag is filled with 5 school books, my media folder, a tattered copy of 'Lord Of The Flies' and my pink lunchbox.  My pencil case is also in this section. It is from Home Bargains an was only 99p as I thought that there was no point in spending money on an expensive pencil case when it was my last year. It has a really pretty montage effect print on it of leopard and zebra print in bright colours, the zip is also a pastel blue, which is one of my favourite colours at the minute. Also in my bag there is my body spray, which comes in handy after a hard P.E lesson; 'Charlie' in scent 'Enchant'. I'm rubbish at describing smells so basically on the back it says ''charismatic blend of wild apple, honeysuckle and coconut''. I don't know what that is suppose to mean but it does smell really pretty, this is my go-to body spray at the minute. In the phone pocket I have got my ''Mini Ted Baker body spray'' which is described as being a compromise ''of rose sandalwood and juicy raspberry that smells as good as it looks''. Ok, no need to be so cocky Ted Baker. Aha. But it does actually look really pretty.

In the last back pocket of my bag there is the instructions to my calculator (which is in the front zip section sorry :/ ) and a next carrier bag. Which I use for when my coat or umbrella gets wet in the morning, I can put it in there so that it doesn't get everything else wet. Clever thinking on my part methinks.

If you enjoyed reading this post (I knew I enjoyed writing it then please drop me a comment. Thank you for reading, have a nice day,
