Bourjois Velvet The Pencil
sobota, junij 08, 2024These have been out for a while now and they are either the repackaged version of their old crayons or a completely new formula. I never had the previous version, so I can't compare. In any case, these are lovely and I pick up shade 03 a lot. Claims mention them being waterproof, transfer-proof, matte, comfortable, easy to use and precise - some of these thing are true, some less so, but they are great lip colours nonetheless.
These have an intense pigmentation, so they are one-swipe lip colours. Formula is creamy and it doesn't drag on the lips. They are matte, but not dry/fully matte, so they feel comfortable, but they aren't moisturising. Shade 06 Framboise Griffée stands out, as it's more matte than the others. I wouldn't say they are transfer-proof, but they last on the lips well.

02 Amou-Rose
03 In Mauve Again
06 Framboise Griffée
Though they are pencils, I can't say they are so precise you could use them as a lip liner, unless you manage to wear them down to a finer tip. I miss a sharpener like Maybelline's Superstay Ink Crayons to just sharpen the tip. These have a wind up mechanism.
Staying power depends on the shade. The lighter ones last less long, obviously, but you still get a good wear time of several hours.
These are sold in drugstores for 11,69 €
