Review: Bourjois Rouge Edition Shine in 24 - 'Rose xoxo' or 'Pou Pou Pidou'?


So I got the Bourjois Rouge Edition Shine in 'Rose xoxo' last month when I was back in the UK for graduation and now I've checked online and I can't find this shade anywhere. I think they have maybe changed the name to 'Pou Pou Pidou' because that shade seems to look the same. If you know if 'Rose xoxo' and 'Pou Pou Pidou' are different shades or if 'Rose xoxo' got changed to 'Pou Pou Pidou' then please let me know!

I was a bit rushed when I got this so I kind of just picked it up randomly because I wanted to use up my Boots points before I left the UK (for what I thought would be the last time in months/years but it turns out I have to go back at the end of the month) and I ended up loving this lipstick! I like lipsticks that have a bit of a mauve or purple hue and I find this pink looks a little mauve in certain lights so I really like that about it. There's something really flattering about purpley pink lipsticks on pale skin with blue eyes I think. Although maybe I just think that because I secretly (not so secretly) want to look like a 90s Barbie doll. This lipstick does have a fair amount of shimmer in it but I don't think it looks glittery by any means, it just looks quite glossy on the lips. I really like easy lipsticks that you can just slap on with anything and for me, this is one of those. It's a pretty moisturising lipstick (think Revlon Lip Butters or L'Oréal Rouge Caresse) so it doesn't last on the lips for particularly long but I never find that the more moisturising lipsticks do. So I can't say it's the most amazing, long-lasting lipstick formula of all time but it is one that you can carry in your purse and just slap on with no mirror throughout the day and you'll be looking good. I don't think I was particularly wowed by any of the other shades at the time, but there is a peachy one which looks quite nice.

Have you tried these and in what shades? And do you know the current shade name of this particular lipstick because I'm confused!

  4. Oh wow, it looks amazing on you! It's such a pretty shade, which reminds me of my latest Chanel Rouge Coco Shine addition (which unfortunately was perhaps 2 times the price...) x

  10. I love Bourjois lipsticks, and this colour is sooo lovely!
    I really like "easy lipsticks" as well, especially when you're a bit in a hurry to do your makeup!

  11. This is a lovely colour :) I find that most things I have to keep reapplying as I rarely find anything that really does last.

    1. Yup I agree! Unless it's something really matte but then it's uncomfortable :(
