Pop It Like It's Hot


As a girl who keeps her hair and makeup pretty neutral, I love to splash on a bit of colour with a bold lip. There's nothing easier to take you from a day to night than applying a bit of lippy and I have been loving the Bourjois Rogue Edition Velvet Lipstick in Ole Flamingo!

It's super easy to apply with the doe-foot applicator and dries matte in seconds. It's a pretty intense colour so there's no smearing it on lightly but you can definitely build the intensity up even more with an added layer or two. My favourite thing about this colour is that it's got blue undertones which really suits my peachy pink completion and makes my teeth look whiter. It does transfer a little (sorry, boys) but because it's matte it has pretty good staying power and you won't need to apply after every bite or sip over dinner or drinks. This colour will look great with most looks but I like to wear it with a very simple eye for minimal effort and maximum effect. The contrast between the neutral eye and undone hair with the statement lip is a sure fave with me.

What's your favourite 'pop of colour' lipstick?
