Bourjois Sweet Kiss Naturel Lipstick in #06 Tendre Rose Review – Glam Radar

by Jane · April 23, 2015

Seeing that it’s mid-March I guess it’s not surprising that I finally broke one of my new years resolution (no impulsive lipstick purchase, that is). I picked up this lipstick during a Centro sale but it was only a 10% off so it’s nothing to boast about. Besides, for a drugstore quality lipstick, I still consider this expensive. It retails for around $14 here in Indonesia.

So why did I buy it? Honestly, I was drawn to the color. I don’t remember having anything like it in my stash and it’s hard to find a pinkish coral color that doesn’t look too dark or too warm on me. This shade is perfect and very much wearable. I can be pretty self-conscious when I wear a lip color that’s not soft pink or nude but I’m comfortable with this one.

Color wise, I love it. It has a balance of peach and rose hue. If bright corals are too in-your-face for you, this is a great, subtler alternative. It offers a creamy, semi-matte finish. It reminds me of Revlon Superlustrous Lipsticks but with sheerer pigmentation. I find that I have to swipe it at least three times to get a decent color pay-off.

It settles into lip lines and therefore making it look blotchy whenever I try to touch up the color. I would only wear this with my Nivea SPF 25 lip balm underneath. There is NO WAY I’m wearing this alone; too drying!

Staying power is pretty good. I ate and drank but I still noticed some color left on my lips. Without eating/drinking, the color could last for three hours before I have to touch up.

Gah I feel so pale right now. No chance to apply self tanner these days. The lippie makes my face look brighter, I think. I can get away with less eye makeup wearing this lip color. 🙂
Have you tried any lipsticks from Bourjois before? What do you think about them?
