I have been a fan of Bourjois products for a while & I have tried their lipsticks
before but not the lip crayon. Last year there were lot of such releases by other major brands too & I think they are just wonderful in terms of maintenance & usage. But this is the first such product that I have managed to grab.

Packaging :
Well thought and incorporated packaging that looks very attractive and is definitely sturdy.The lip crayon come in a twist up style packaging that looks like a pen(big fat pen).The shade of the lip crayon bullet & the outer case are the same - that makes it all the more attractive rather than the normal black/brown case with the lipstick bullet inside.The silver case at the bottom looks like a beautiful crown to this whole elegant packaging and that is the portion that needs to be rotated in order to bring the lip crayon up.Once you remove the cap, the lip crayon sits there like a pretty candy waiting to be eaten!! The casing is so glossy & it matches the shade of the lip crayon so well that they camouflage when you open the cap..It has the word Bourjois Lip Crayon printed on the outer casing.

Shade & Texture of the Bourjois Lip Crayon :
Red Sunrise is such a pretty reddish pink shade that looks more like a pink for a single coat & red when 2 or 3 coats are used. I have a weakness for coral or reddish pink shades and I feel they suit me the best. The shade would suit most of the Indian women and the formula is so hydrating that you would not need a lip balm. It makes your lips look more fuller and healthier. I absolutely love the formula since I have dry lips. The formula is so good that it does not feel heavy or sticky unlike some lip gloss. This lip crayon acts as a lip gloss plus lip balm and eliminates the sticky feeling of a lip gloss.It does not emphasize dry lips or the lines much. So its like a double bonanza for us and we need to invest in such good products.

Pigmentation of Bourjois Lip Crayon :
The pigmentation of the lip crayon is decent and one swipe is good to go for office wear and 2 to 3 swipes would be ideal for an outing. 2 to 3 swipes gives a more intense red shade and a single swipe gives a beautiful pink tint to the lips.

Staying Power of Bourjois Paris Color Boost Lip Crayon in Red Sunrise :
The staying power is something that I am not quite happy about since the claim is for 10 hours and it reads tested on 32 women. For such a creamy formula, I do not think it is possible for 10 hours staying power. I keep drinking water every 20 minutes and the lipstick lasted for about 3 hours after which it started fading and after a meal it had completely vanished.
