For Holiday 2015, Bourjois has 5 Shades of Rouge for you to sift through to find your perfect shade. And I’ve found a favourite new red shade amongst them!
Bourjois‘ Rouge Edition #10 – Rouge Buzz is an absolute stunner. I put this one on and it completely blew me away. A neon orangey-red that glides on flawlessly and immediately lit up my face! This may be recommended for brunettes, but to hell with that, I love how this looks on me!
Rouge Buzz wears very, very well. Although it’s creamy, it stayed put on my lips which is hugely appreciated. It’s supposed to last 10 hours while being continuously hydrating. I never wear lipstick that long, but I did find this hydrating for the four or so hours I wore this before I removed it.
Come on. Tell me that isn’t gorgeous??
The Bourjois Rouge Edition #05 – Red My Lips come in an “Aqua Laque” formula. It’s an intense red recommended for blonde hair.
Sidenote: I’m always so iffy on these “recommended for [insert hair colour]” products. If you like the shade, you CAN wear it, no matter what colour it is or who it’s recommended for!
This formula was a bit of a new one for me. It did have some shine to it, but after about 45 minutes it dried down to a bit of a tacky consistency. I had some trouble with application as I found the product would gather up a bit as I put it on and was patchy in other areas.
On the lips, it looks quite like a jelly finish, but I wasn’t in love with how it felt.
Final Thoughts
While Red My Lips was a pass for me, Rouge Buzz has become an absolutely favourite shade of mine. The lipstick barely has a scent and no discernible taste – a HUGE plus for me since I’m often sensitive to scents that are not to my taste. The formula of Rouge Buzz is cushiony and hydrating, which makes this lipstick incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s the kind of product that makes me happy when I wear it, and there’s really nothing more I could ask for in a lipstick!
Let me know if you’ve tried Bourjois lipsticks before! As this was my first introduction to them, I’m interested in hearing what you guys think!
The products in this post were sent to me for consideration.
Rouge Buzz is so similar with a Mirabella lip crayon that I received in Luxebox! I’ll need to head to Shoppers and swatch it but gosh, Red My Lips is a stunner!

I really gravitate towards anything with that hint of orange/neon, so I’m loving Rouge Buzz. I’ve never tried anything by Mirabella though – how do you like the brand?
I’ve only tried the lip crayon and it’s one of the smoothest that I ever tried, it does tend to bleed a little but nothing that a lip pencil can’t fix.

Rouge Buzz is va-va-voom on you, gorgeous!!!
I’ve never tried any of their makeup, but always love looking at their display when I’m at SDM.

Their foundation and bronzer were really the only items I had any experience with (and loved them). I think sometimes they get overlooked for their products because they seem like a more mature brand – but there’s some seriously good things in the line!
that lipstick is perfect on you! glosses and gloss hybrids are always a bit tricky. i think i have one bourjois lipstick from a swap…but i haven’t had much experience with the brand. i really want their foundation though…thanks to you !

I’m already not much of a gloss person, so a gloss/lipstick hybrid wasn’t going to do much for me. That’s okay though – we can’t love everything! And that lipstick is getting some serious love from me lately!
Their foundation is so, SO worth it. SO WORTH IT.
Oooooh Rouge Buzz is BEAUTIFUL. You’re right – you look like you’re glowing in that photo!

Thanks Jodi! It’s amazing what a beautiful lipstick colour can do for your complexion! 😀
That’s really too bad that Red My Lips becomes tacky because it is a beautiful colour!
