Rose Exclusif applies as a clear gloss...
...and then after a few minutes turns pink. The shade of pink you end up with depends on the pH of your lips. It turns pinker on my lips than it does on my hand, although the swatch on my hand did continue to get pinker for about 10 minutes after this swatch picture was taken.
My lips when I'd just applied
After about 5 minutes.
In the context of the rest of my face. Although it turns quite a deep pink on me, I think it still looks quite natural somehow. The pink colour is more of a stain and the colour lasts well, even after the glossiness has faded. It's excellent for people like me who feel that they lack pigment in their lips, but want something more casual than a lipstick for a particular look.
The gloss feels comfortable and quite moisturising, and isn't annoyingly sticky. Rose Exclusif has a very subtle fruity scent, but it's hardly noticeable and therefore doesn't bother me. At £6.99, this is an excellent alternative to Christian Dior Lip Glow (which I found quite drying and irritating to my lips when a sales assistant applied it for me at a counter), and it's available now.
Disclosure: this was a sample sent without charge by the PR Officer for the brand.

Awwww man they had to release this after our England trip. It looks lovely on you, and now I really want it!
ReplyDeleteI think that this may well be worth a pop at this price! Thank you for the review.
ReplyDeleteI want it!!! I wonder were they sell it in Canada?
ReplyDeleteThat color is just Divine. I adore vibrant pinks like that.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought this sounded a bit gimmicky but it looks lovely on you! Def worth a try i think xxx
ReplyDeleteThat looks very pretty! It looks a bit like the Lipstick Queen Jeans thingumy (without the silly Jeans shining guff).
ReplyDeleteI like Bourjois products very much. Is it a brush applicator like their other glosses? I've had some issues with the brushes in the past.

Hi Vonnie - thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey Selina - what a shame, and you hardly bought any cosmetics over here too ;) Do you not get Bourjois?
Hi Old Cow - yes, at £7 it's more worth a go than the Dior.
Hi Stells - I hope so too. It's a shame they pulled from Sephora in the US, not sure if they are still in Canada.
Hi Kelly - I love them too. It'd be a nice choice for that Rachel McAdams lip look you were after.
Hi Nic - yes, I think it's worth a go. Gimmicky in a good way :)
Hey MB - it is a brush. I haven't had problems with it, although it's quite a soft/bendy brush.
Hey Conny! Thanks :) x
Well, I might have bought a few cosmetics. I mean just a few. Not enough to make our luggage WAY over the luggage allowance or anything ... And no, Bourjois isn't available in NZ. I bought quite a lot of Bourjois when we were over. Not that I bought many cosmetics ...
