The Lowdown
What could be better than a lipstick that combines great colour with gorgeous gloss. I've tried a few lip crayons but after reading what Bourjois had to say about this I had high expectations. Red island is a lovely berry red shade - not overly bold but great for work or a casual day out.
The lipstick has a glossy formula and the colour easily glides on. It has a chubby crayon applicator so it's a lot easier to get a precision finish. The colour is pretty pigmented and builds up quickly to give full coverage. It's comfortable to wear and despite having a glossy finish it isn't sticky, it feels very light and hydrating. With SPF 15 there's no need for any separate protection, you can simply pop it on and go. It has a very faint scent but it's not really noticeable.
The lipstick lasted surprisingly longer than its some matte lipsticks I've tried - albeit not the 10 hours it claims to last. The lipstick was still visible after around 3-4 hours, despite eating and drinking (although this did reduce the pigment slightly) but it was definitely still visible after this.
Grab it for £3.99 on Xtras
