pigments are poor. Was in transit and customs to longI've bought this same Bourjois product in a store before and this one feels different. It is not as pigmented and doesn't last as much. It takes about 2 or 3 coats to get it to look vibrant. I don't know if it's a different formula or a knock off but would not buy again.This is the best long wearing mattes lipstick. Extremely light to wear a true bright cherry redVivid color that doesn't dry my lips out.Chemical smell, it was too much to bare! I threw it away.better than i expectedlove itI love this oneAwesome red. Do make sure lips are brushed clean. But yes does leave that velvet touch and feel to it. I didn’t find the longevity to be very long for me, but could be because I drink so much. A few applications throughout the day should be enough. To keep it looking fresh. But you will have to wash it off properly before reapplying because it leaves dusty look with residue.These are very sheer and do not dry down to a matte finish. They used to but don't seem to anymore? I guess it's a new formula or batch.Bad qualityGorgeous colour that definitely stays on all night, even through drinking and eating, however really dries the lips out as its so mattifying - maybe carry a colourless lipbalm/lipgloss or Vaseline to touch up.Lovely colour red, feels nice on your lips. Will buy again ??
