What I personally like about Bourjois is that they constantly release new products
and update their existing collections with new shades with most seasons
but not in a MAC "5 limited edition collections each month" kinda way.
I feel when it comes to high street make-up brands they get this element just right
and one of their newest additions to the brand is a collection of four lipstick palettes.


"Make a fashion statement!
Beautiful, practical and slim, Colorissimo is a “must-have” for your handbag!
Each palette contains 3 different COLOURS for 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS
All 3 shades contain complementary hues of different intensities which can be worn alone 
or mixed together for an added touch of style!
For a day at the office use the fair “Everyday” shade.
For a lunch or a dinner with friends, wear the more intense, middle hue “Flash” and for a romantic dinner date, the darker, elegantly “Chic” shade will go down a treat!"


Admittedly I do not have much to say about the packaging,
yes it's plastic and does look a little on the cheap side but it does the job nicely.
But hold the bus why the heck is there a foam eye applicator in each kit?
At first I thought it was a mistake, a faulty palette if you will
but nope I had a good nosey through all the palettes in the store and each has a foam eye applicator!
One word - WHY?
The foam applicators don't work all that well with their intended products - eyeshadows
let alone a cream based product, the foam soaks up more product than necessary
and the precision application element is all but eliminated.


Roses Fashion is officially described as - adopt the glam/rock attitude with 3 pinky/orange hues.Again not really sure why they have described it as such as it more pink based
shades than oranges in this palette but hey ho!
In this palette there is a pale pink that is almost a nude shade,
a mid toned pink that leans slightly coral and a deep pink.
The shades in this palette with the exception of the palest shade
are a little more pigmented than those in the previous palettes.


I really wanted to like these little palettes of lip colour and entered testing them with an open mind,
I knew they wouldn't be as soft as a gloss or as moisturising but I didn't think the quality would be so poor.
Bourjois is a brand that gets it right so often so I am surprised that these palettes contain
dry, weakly pigmented lip colour that is not at all comfortable to wear - slightly sticky but not wet.
My personal experience dictated that they don't only cling to the lips dry patches
but actually dry the lips out too, making a bad situation worse!
The scent is pleasant in my opinion - sweet/floral that sort of thing.
In terms of wear they do wear okay for around 3-4 hours if you can handle the drying sticky texture.

Product Summary
Round Up - A trio of lip shades in palette form.
Best For - I feel to be able to wear this formula comfortably you would have to layer a gloss on top.
Pigmentation - (5/10) On the whole poor.
Availability - I purchased this in Superdrug for £4.99 ( I believe it was £2 off original price 
as it was an introductory offer although I may be wrong)
