I fell for the hype when Clinique brought out their Chubby Stick Intense range, and again when Revlon released the Kissable Balm Stain. So surely it comes as no surprise that Bourjois bring out a lip crayon and I'm all over them like a rash.
I picked up the shades Red Sunrise (pictured above) - a typical color for me - and Orange Punch - a territory I'm easing myself gently into. Texture wise, these definitely feel much more 'balm-y' like the Revlon version rather than a lipstick like Clinique. However, it glides on really pigmented and effortlessly, whereas with Revlon I find it much harder to get an all over color.
Usually I stray well away from glossy finishes, I just don't feel they suit me at all. But with these they can easily be patted in with a finger and you still get the great color pay off, just with a less glossy finish.
I'd say these lasted 2/3 hours on me which I think is great for such a moisturising, glossy balm. With Red Sunrise, I find it leaves a slight stain behind which gives it that little longer with longevity.
These are perfect for throwing in your bag and whacking out last minute. What do you think? I can't wait to pick up the newer shades!
