Red Sunshine // Fuschia Libre // Orange Punch // Peach on the Beach
I originally only bought Peach on the Beach, and I loved it that much that I went back and bought the other three when Boots did their 3 for 2 offer. They only currently do 4 shades, and I think there really is something for everyone, even though there's only 4. There is a strong red, fuschia colour, orange and light peach. My favourites have to be Fuschia Libre and Peach on the Beach. They're both very wearable and versatile, and they suit literally any skin tone.

The formula of these lip crayons is somewhere between a lip stick, lip balm and lip gloss. It does really show the best of all three. I find the lip colours quite sheer, which was unexpected when I swatched them on my arm. They're perfect for summer when you don't really want to be fussing around with accurate lip colouring!

As for staying power, I find these to be OK. Bourjois say that they last 10 hours, and I don't find this very accurate. When I wear these through the day, they usually need topping up every 3-4 hours. However, they're amazingly moisturising and hydrating. I'd recommend them to everyone!
