A good bright pink lip is something we should all have in
our stash, the more playful sister to the statement red and perfect for summer.
I have quite fair skin and dark brown hair, and on me I use minimum eye make up
and make it all about the lip, bare fresh skin and a pop of playful pink (to
make the boys wink).
I was recently drawn
back the pink pout when I saw Chanel La Diva winking at me in John Lewis, but I
thought ‘No Rosie you don’t wear pink lipstick walk away’ I agreed with my conscience
as my old MAC lipstick in Pink Nouveau is a tad Barbie and well and truly un
loved. It then got me thinking I do have a similar shade; Yu by Nars, another
pencil lipstick but in the satin line, still very opaque with a more semi
matte finish. So the next day I played down the eye liner, did super simple
make up and swiped on Yu in ore, its is bright yet so sophisticated not sugary
sweet at all and it was love.
Now obviously one
bright pink is not enough and I wanted to see what the ‘drug store’ had to
offer, the new release of Bourjois ‘Rouge Edition Velvet’ had me intrigued then
as soon as I locked eyes with Pink Pong in boots it was in my basket before I had
chance to notice the 3 for 2 offer (thank god I didn’t notice).
Pink Pong is very similar to Yu by Nars, almost identical in
shade Bourjois’s offering is a liquid matte lipstick, easily applied and dries within
seconds it is another winner, however it did dry out a bit through out the day but
I have come to realise no formula will ever beat Nars Velvet Matte Pencils when
it comes to a matte finish.
Both gorgeous if you can justify £18.00 for the Nars then do,
but the Bourjois is pretty damn good at £8.99.
