I was really excited when we were asked to try the New Jolie Rouge Brillant Lipstick, because we honestly love Clarins (as I have mentioned before, I use the Double Serum every night). 

Lately, we have been wearing a lot of matte lipsticks, but with those you lose out on the moisture. With the weather heating up, matte can be seriously miserable. This lipstick has mango oils to soften and hold in moisture, so it's perfect to use instead of plain lip balm when you want a bit of color. 

Texture-wise, this lipstick almost feels like a gloss except that it is smooth without the stickiness. It is fairly sheer, but buildable. I was surprised how rich the fuchsia color actually was on after a couple swipes. You can see the texture of the lipstick in the swatches below.

The lipstick is available in ten colors...so check them all out!
