First Impressions: Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon in "Red Island" and "Plum Russian"

The other day I reviewed the new Bourjois cream to powder eyeshadow here and today I'm reviewing the 2 new Colour Boost Lip Crayons from the "Magical Paris" collection. 

I have one of the original colours of the Color Boost, so I knew what to expect performance wise.

The surprise was on the inside. 

From the outside packaging, I was expecting "Red Island" (05) to be quite deep and dark. Instead it's quite bright. It's a really glossy colour.

I like that the red can be built up to become vibrant, or applied once lightly for a subtle red. It's the perfect product for anyone wanting to slowly get into red lips.

"Plum Russian" (06) is a very unusual colour. I was expecting it to be plum as the name suggests, but on my lips it turned out more raspberry than plum. If I apply a few coats, the plum is more obvious. 

If you haven't used the Color Boost lip crayons before, they're really easy to apply. They have a beautiful gloss to them.

These feel incredibly hydrating on my lips. The colour does last for a few hours, but doesn't last long if you eat or drink.

The one negative is they can easily "slip" on your lips, so it's a good idea to use a lip crayon (I love the Models Prefer Infinite Colour Lip Liner, which I've previously reviewed here).

They retail for $15.00 each, but Priceline often has Bourjois on special or has a GWP.

Have you tried the Color Boost lip crayons before?
