Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon 'Plum Russian' Review
October 15, 2013The other day I was happily browsing through a few blogs to find that Bourjois have released two new shades of their majorly hyped Color Boost Lip Crayons, which I had been eagerly awaiting so I nipped into my local Boots the other day to see if I could get my hands on them.

| Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon - Boots (£7.99) |
Luckily my local Boots had the new shades in stock, as they are often pretty slow at getting new releases in stock straight away so I knew I had to pick up at least one of the shades.
Out of the two shades I decided to pick up the Bourjois Color Boost 'Plum Russian' Lip Crayon, which is the perfect plum/berry shade that I think I will wearing a lot this A/W. As soon as I swatched this on the back of my hand I knew I had to have it, seeing as I love my plum lip colours. Just like the other Color Boost Lip Crayons (review here), this glides on so smoothly leaving a pigmented glossy wash to my lips that can be easily built up to give a bolder lip look. I love how hydrating these are, especially as my lips are always super dry during the winter months and they last so well on my lips, so I can myself opting for this a lot more than my lipsticks this A/W.
If you haven't delved into the lip crayon world yet I would highly recommend starting off with these as they are super affordable and are often on offer in Boots. They also have a small, yet wide variety of shades where you could find one or two shades to suit you - I have four out of the six shades available and I love every single one of them!
Have you tried out these lip crayons yet?

I bought the A/W shades a few weeks ago and I love them, particularly the plum - it's lovely and warm and rich. Gorgeous! Xx

The other shade is very similar to one of the summer shades so I decided to just stick with this one and i love it x

I think we all agree on this! It's not to bold either which will let you get away with this on a day to day basis :) x
DeleteSo pretty, this is a really gorgeous colour! x

I think so too! x
DeleteI've never tried a lip crayon before, i'm so behind the times, haha! I'm so glad you swatched this because I would have guess it to be a lot darker than it actually is. I'm considering dipping my toe in the 'lip crayon craze' x

Neither had i before these came out in the summer. Yes, i expected it to be a lot darker also and i'm kind of glad that it isn't! I'd highly recommend these! x
DeleteI have all 4 summer shades but I need this one! It's so gorgeous, the swatch looks so pretty. Perfect for A/W.

DeleteI'm loving this color!! Sadly we only have three of the summer colors! Hopefully they will come to Canada soon! We just got the cream blushes this week so I guess it'll take some time!! I love using my clinique chubby stick intense!!

Ohh that sucks :( Probably, hopefully you'll get them soon! x
DeleteI haven't tried any of these yet (but have certainly lusted after them) but I do really want both of the new shades. I really want some plum shades for my lips now the season has changed but I don't think I can get away with a dark lipstick look so this might be perfect for me x
