Bourjois Shine Edition Lipsticks

In my opinion, Bourjois can do no wrong at the moment and have created yet another new range of lipsticks; Bourjois Shine Edition*, at the perfect time for me. Usually one for a matte to semi-matte finish, I have found myself recently opting for more of a shiny finish on my lips and these three products are the perfect timed additions to my collection.

Not long ago I posted about Bourjois previous lipstick launch, the Rouge Edition Collection, which I absolutely love and I'm pretty sure that these new Shine Editions are on par with my love for the formula and although there aren't as many shades in this collection, the eight additions that are set to be added to Bourjois counters are absolutely beautiful. I was kindly given the chance to try 20- 1,2,3 Soleil, 22-Famous Fuchsia and 24-Rose xoxo and as I'm sure you can tell from the swatches above, they are all delightful shades that offer a lovely glossed finish.

1,2,3 Soleil is a brightening Orange Coral, Famous Fuchsia a bright Fuchsia toned Pink and Rose xoxo, a slightly sheerer shade than the others, in a Pink slightly shimmery hue. 

My favourite of the three is most definitely 1,2,3 Soleil because I'm a great lover of Corals and think it is going to be absolutely beautiful worn in the Summer but Famous Fuchsia is also really very stunning too and I love how highly pigmented it is.

The formula of these lipsticks is a dream to work with and although when I first saw them I thought they were going to be more similar to lip butter type products I have tried quite a lot of recently, though similar in the creamy, soft and moisturising texture on the lips- they are extremely pigmented and seem to appear more lipstick like on the lips.

As much of a fan as I am of the formula, shades and high shine pigmentation that these lipsticks offer, I'm not really the biggest fan of the mirrored, colourful packaging. Although like I just mentioned, with the great quality that these do offer, this really isn't an important factor at all, but normally I do like my lipsticks to look a less understated which to be honest is probably just my boring side coming out.

I'm really excited about this launch and can't wait to get my hands on some other shades, but unfortunately there is still a little bit of a wait until launch and these Bourjois Shine Edition Lipsticks won't be available until mid July 2013, where they will be available to buy in both Boots and Superdrug.
