Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet | 07 Nude-ist & 08 Grand Cru | Review & Swatches on Lips

Size: 7.7ml

Price: £8.99

I picked these two up from my local superdrug a couple of weeks ago, and i'm a little obsessed with them:

Pros: I love the sleek packaging, I think it looks quite 'premium'. They come with doe-foot applicators which actually work pretty well, I find I can apply this neatly without needing to use a brush (they do look better with a liner though). They smell quite nice and I think the semi-matte finish looks lovely.

Cons: As I've just mentioned, I would consider these to be semi-matte rather than a completely matte finish, especially Grand Cru. Although they last really well if you're just drinking, as soon as you eat anything they become a hot-mess! I still love them though, they're great for nights out!

Bourjois 1 Seconde Gel Nail Polish in 34 Violine Hypnotique | Swatches & Review

Size: 9ml

Stockists: Boots & Superdrug

Price: £5.99 (here)

Pros: The finish of this is very shiny and 'polished', maybe not as good as gel, but it's very nice for a regular nail polish. The formula is super opaque meaning I only needed one coat, which I love since i'm super lazy with my nails! The brush is hands-down the best nail polish brush i've ever used - it's short and fat which makes the application really quick and easy. And lastly, this does dry super fast - 1 second may be a little bit of exaggeration, but it's definitely under 30, which is pretty impressive in my book!

Cons: Although I adore this colour, overall I was quite disappointed with the colour range. The only other con I found was that it did chip quite easily - definitely needs a top coat.

I would definitely recommend this nail polish, it's opaque formula, amazing brush, quick drying formula and gorgeous colour make it a clear winner for me!

Have any of you guys tried this or any other colours from the 1 seconde range? Let me know!
