 Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I'm going to review all the new products from the Jacqueline Cosmetics bougie rouge collection. So if you want to see my thoughts, then just keep watching. Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan. I am a product knowledge enthusiast. I just love knowing anything and everything about all of the new makeup on the market and sharing my thoughts with you guys. And I have to admit, the bougie rouge collection that we have, it was very intriguing to me. I had to know, you know, some of the products aren't products I'd really heard of before or had tried products like, and I love the packaging and the marketing. So I wanted to pick some pieces from the collection up. Now, I didn't pick up the whole collection. When the collection first launched, there was no rush. What I wanted was in stock, but what I did get did sell out. So she did offer two bundles at launch. I'm taking a look on the website now. They are no longer on the website. And I think that's because certain colors in those bundles sold out. So they just completely took those off. But the two bundles that she had basically split the collection half by the pink tones and the warm tones. So there was like a cool tone bundle and a warm tone bundle. And I wasn't sure which one I wanted because I liked colors from both sets. But ultimately, I decided to go with the cooler, more pink tone selection because those are colors that I would wear more often. And that cost me $125, which is a little bit of a discount than if I were to pick up the products individually. Taking a look at the website, there are still products from each formulation available, though it is selective as to which colors you could get. I'm gonna go through each product piece by piece. I have two of the lip cushions. I have one blush stick. I have one of the Moodlight powders. And of course I have one of the blush palettes. I have tested these products before, so this is not a first impression. Let's get into it. I'm gonna zoom in a little bit closer to my face. If you're curious about what's on my eyes, I'm wearing the Saga Afriha palette from Odin's Eye, this palette right here. Both anyways, I don't know if it's launched yet by the time this video gets up. I'm going to put my hair back. Because I do not want to film this video with crusty lips, we're actually gonna talk about the lip cushions first. So these are called the Rouge Romance Lip Cushions. There are five shades that she came out with in the launch. It looks like three shades are still available, and I have both of the shades that are still available. The box that they come in looks like this. They match the coloring of the lip color that you are getting. These are made in Italy, and it looks like they have a 36 months shelf life. That's a long time for a lip product. Let's take a closer look at the packaging itself. It is a plastic component, so it's not like super glass or anything. And it just says Jacqueline Ryder Cross. My nails look yellow. I promise you they're not. It's just from Foundation playing with face products today. So you twist it up, and this is a very interesting shaped lip applicator. The one flaw to the packaging, I would say, is I feel like too much product comes out at once, so I have to kind of clean the top. Very minor though, that's not like a reason not to buy the product. So the two shades that I have are Last First Kiss, which is a little bit brighter, and then Promised. I'm gonna put Last First Kiss on my top lip, just so you can kind of see what the color is. These have like a coconut kind of smell to it. I'm not a huge fan of it, I'm unbothered by it. You don't smell it on the lips. So it's a thicker formula. It's not really liquidy. And at first application, I find that if you apply it too little, it can feel a bit drying, but if you actually apply a little bit more of a thicker layer, it actually makes the lips look more smooth and more hydrated. And considering the type of product that it is, it's like a lip soup flay, similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, if you're familiar with that. This is a little bit more hydrating than that, but it's that same kind of consistency, but how pretty is that color? Okay, I'm gonna put some of Promised on the bottom lip. So it gives that soft matte look to the lips. I have to say, all things consider, it has a pretty nice lasting formula. It doesn't dry down on the lips, it doesn't stain the lips. So if I go like this, it will get wiped off, but if your lips remain untouched, the color stays there for quite a good amount of time. Not the best mask proof lip formula, but I think, I think we're heading towards that direction soon enough. So these are the two different colors. They really don't look too different. I feel like I just applied the same color. Like you can see this is slightly brighter. Okay, you definitely don't need both of these colors. I do prefer the shade Promise though, which is just a hint deeper with a little bit more mauviness to it. So I'm gonna put it right on top. Like you can see it's a little bit more purpley, but ever so slight. You definitely don't need both of these colors. They're very close to each other, but I do like this lip formula. They are $18, which is not a bad price at all. Definitely in that high end price point though. And they're pretty comfy. So I like these all around. I think they're a nice formula. And I liked them more than I thought I would. So pretty good. Okay, we're gonna move to, I don't know, one of the more exciting products because I love a good blush stick. So these are called the Rouge Romance Cream Blush Sticks. They are $22 each, which I think is a pretty good price for a cream blush stick. Now there are four shades online, only one is available in the shade Royal Flush, which looks like a deep pink. The shade that I got is Empress. Probably not the shade I would have picked for myself had I not bought this in a bundle, but you'll be surprised by this color. So let's talk about the packaging first. It comes in gold packaging, which I think looks quite lux. We're used to seeing silver packaging from her. It's not a weighty packaging at all, but it looks really nice. And then the box is consistent with that of the lipsticks. So this is made in Italy and it has a 12 month shelf life. So you just pull it open, you see the color and you can twist it up and down. I just wanna show you, do you see how pigmented that is? And when I first saw this, I was like, oof, I like a pink blush. This looks hot pink. So I've been through a few trials of the best way to apply this. I do not like it with my fingers. I don't like taking my fingers and then patting it on. I don't like rubbing it on and then patting it in with my fingers. That's my favorite way of application. A sponge for me is the tool for this. I actually find that for a cream blush stick, this is drier than most because it's a cream to powder formulation and it's a true cream to powder. So it blends on like cream, but it's a little bit more drying. It dries down relatively quickly. So it doesn't really warm up with the touch of the finger, which is why I like to use a sponge to apply it. I'm gonna show you how beautiful it looks. If you just take the button of a damp sponge and then it looks really intimidating, but also if you're lighter like me, this is a way to kind of tone it down a bit. I probably still, who's trying to talk to me? Probably still applied too much, as you can see, but this is the best way to get the most natural finish on the skin to spread it out evenly. And to really get it to form with your complexion product, I just think that this is so stunning. And the color, again, it's not as scary as it seems. It's definitely a more hot pink. I don't think I have a cream blush color like this, which I actually really love. I also have applied the stick straight to the cheek and then used a sponge to blend it out. I liked that a lot. But again, the finger was a no-go for me. Sponge is definitely the way that it works the best for me. Like I said, it's drier because it does dry down to a powder finish. So the sponge adds a little bit of hydration here. Another thing that I really like about this product is I feel like it's so lightweight on the skin. It does not move the foundation at all because there's no thickness to it. It just blends in just like a powder. I mean, it's so nice. You cannot feel it on the skin. It's so lightweight. This is arguably my favorite product in this collection. I just think the formula on this is phenomenal. And it's a product that I most definitely would enjoy purchasing other colors. I think it's a good deal. The quality is really nice. I really recommend this. I think it's so great. And you can see on the cheek, it allows the glow from the foundation to come through as well. It's not a matte finish. It's not completely flat. It does have a luminosity to it, but it's not glowy at all. So I just, I really like this. And I think if you have oily skin and you find that cream blushes are too thick, then they make you too oily. This is a way to get away with the cream formula. So yes, I like this. I'm recommending it. So this formulation, moving on, was one that I was very, very curious on. This is the Mood Light Luminous Rouge Blush. So four shades of these came out. They are $30 each, which is a little bit more pricey. And on the website, it looks like all four shades are available. If you are interested in this product. Again, probably not the color I would have chosen for myself, but we're here anyways. I got the shade Love Language. Now this product is made in the USA and it has a 12 month shelf life. The packaging of this is similar, pretty much the same as her other Mood Light powders, except like I said, she went gold this time, which I think is a really nice change. And the J is corresponding with the color of the powder. I really like this packaging. I think it's nice and it's not glass, so it's not gonna break. I'm clumsy, things like that matter. So it has a sifter like this. And then I'm gonna show you the swatch. Loose blush. I don't think I've ever owned a loose blush. I wasn't sure how crazy about it I was. Now what's very, I don't know if this is a bit off-putting to me, but you'll see those, do you see those little white dots? There's like, I don't know what those are. There's these white granules in there that are very, very small. I don't know what that is. I apply this on the cheek and they go away, but you can really see those granules there. Like I'm not going crazy, right? You can see there is a slight luminosity to it. So let's just apply it to the cheek. I'm using a blinged brush at 14. I promise you this is cleaned. So I have about this much in the cap, not too much, because this is a bright color and it can go on very pigmented if you put too much color on your brush. So I wanna show you a light layer first. This is a pretty unique color. I don't think I have a colored blush like this. I mean, I probably do, but it has a little bit more peachiness to it than what I'm used to. So a light layer looks like this. This can be an intimidating color when you see it, right? I was like, I don't know how this could work for me. If you use a very light hand, you really blend out the product. You can get a light wash. See, you can kinda see those white granules. I don't know, you can just kinda blend them away. Now they're gone, but that's something weird that I noticed. I don't know if the formula is not blended enough. I'm gonna put more on so you can see the color build. This is beautiful and it has a nice luminosity to it. So I don't know, maybe I got like a faulty one, but I feel like the formula and the powders just aren't blended enough and that's why I get that white dot on my hand. So you can blend this up to be very pigmented. So what I really like about this line, especially these shades in particular, I feel like they're gonna be great for deeper skin tones. And what's special about this formula is that it's very blurring to the skin, especially as you build it up. You'll find that the powder itself blurs the skin and it does add a subtle luminous glow to the skin but it's not super glowy. It's not shiny and it's not reflective. It has a luminosity without having glitter sparkles or any kind of reflect to light. And it blends on really nice. I think application is a bit inconvenient because it's a loose formula, which is why loose blushes really aren't a thing because they're just harder to use, more inconvenient. And $30 for one shade is a lot. So I think she has some really great blush products and formulations in this collection. And this is a cheek formulation that I recommend the least just because of the value, but it's not bad at all. And as far as what you're looking for in a product, it's the most blurring and it's very buildable. So it sits really beautiful on the skin. Okay, we are gonna move on to the blush palettes now. There are two blush palettes in this collection. There's one that's a little bit more warm and then there's the Rouge Affair, which is what I have, which is more cool, has more pink colors. So let's take a quick look before I take the colors on my cheeks off, which looks so cute, by the way. These are $45 each. They are made in the USA. And it looks like they have a 12 month shelf life. So here's the packaging. It is like a thicker, heavier cardboard. It says Rouge Romance in the front. This is a little bit raised right here and the back is just a really pretty blue floral design. I love this kind of design. The marketing on this was beautiful. You do have a mirror when you open it up and then you have the six shades. Now, Jacqueline up to this point, I feel like has had really amazing packaging for a high-end brand. This is the first package here where I feel like it's a little bit cheap. I even thought it looked a little bit cheap in her review. I'm unbothered by it. It's fine if the product is good. That's fine. But as somebody who does love packaging and her packaging in particular, this one was a bit of a letdown in that way. So when I did watch her video, she said the formula was really expensive to make. So I imagine this might have been one of the compromises for the formulation is the packaging. I'm just telling you guys what I noticed on my review channel, okay? I'm not bothered by the packaging. I'm just wanting to know. My cousin said it also looked cheap. So I know it's just not just me. Okay, when you open the palette, of course you're going to reveal the six shades. As you can see, based on my skin tone, I'm sticking to right here because these two shades over here, not only are they very deep, they are very pigmented. So if you do have a deeper complexion, this is a palette that does cater to all skin tones. I've mixed opinions on that because it's like I can only use shades really on my eyes. I'll show you a little bit on my cheeks today. But you know, if you have a deeper complexion, how often are you gonna use these shades as well? So I personally feel like I don't know anything about business. It's just better to make like two palettes, you know? To cater to both skin tones. But hey, good range in here. We'll say that. So I did not powder my cheeks at all so that I could layer an extra layer of foundation on to show you the colors in this palette. I give me one second to do that. Not perfect, but it will do. I'm actually gonna powder my face a little bit because I intend on wearing this today. So I'm gonna go in with my Dior bronzer to bronze the perimeter of my face and then I wanna get a little bit of under eye powder on as well to set my under eyes because I have not done that. This is the NABLA Smoothing Press Powder Compact one of the most underrated setting powders. My opinion, it's so blurring. So I set my face with some powder because that's what I would do when I would wear a powder blush. We're gonna layer a little bit because there's six shades in here. Normally I would just pick like one or two shades but we're gonna be special today. We're gonna start off with the lightest shade right here, which is the shade Fantasy. This one is a little bit more of a vibrant bubblegum pink. And I'm gonna put this right on the apples of my cheek. Gorgeous, apple-y kind of color, fair skin tones. This shade's gonna look beautiful on you. It looks really good on me as well. Very easy to work with, very, very sheer. We're gonna go on to admirer now which has a little bit more of a neutral mauve tone. I'm gonna put this on this apple of the cheek. I just wiped my brush off if you missed that. You can see the difference in tone. It's a little bit more peachy, very similar though, I'm being honest. So this is a really pretty formula. You can see that little bit of luminosity that this gives so it's not a flat blush. Again, her formula is very unique in that it's not matte but it's not reflective. It literally just gives this unique luminosity to the cheek. Okay, we're gonna start building up a little bit of depth. I'm gonna go in with French Kiss which has more peachiness to it a little bit more on the coral side. And this is gonna go on the back end of my cheek just so I can show you how it blends. Getting into this zone right here, I started to get a little bit worried at the pigmentation of these but I can speak for both of these that they also aren't super pigmented so they're very easy to work with and they're buildable which is the way that I prefer my formulas. At least two are a different story but we'll get there when we get there. Wiping off my brush now, I'm going into the shade Dainty. This one is a little bit more mid toned. Like you can see it, you start to get more pigmentation from the shade. This is like the turning point for more medium skin tones because you can see the vibrancy I'm getting from this shade right here. Very pretty though, very easy to blend, very easy to build. Obviously we have these two shades. I mean these are not made for my skin tone nor are they gonna be colors that I reach for. I'm gonna do like a pop like that. Yesterday I messed up. It wasn't the shade, I think it was the forever shade. I put it on my nose and it was a mess. I'll see if I can find the footage from that. Buildable, okay. I didn't need to do all that now. But it's definitely buildable for deepers. Okay, that one's really pigmented. I don't rate for deeper skin tones. It's gonna pop like, like you can see that added like the tiniest flush of color with just that little bit of a pop. But I'm not gonna use these and especially if you're more fair than me, I don't recommend it. Like I'm barely touching. It's just not made for my skin tone so I'm not gonna force it. Pretty eye shadows though. If you're curious about where you would use those if you have a lighter complexion. Beautiful monochromatic look with those shades all over the eyelids would be a yes. So I really built on the blushes for you guys and you can see it does have that little bit of a blurring effect as well. Not quite as blurring I would say as the mood light. They're really beautiful nonetheless. Okay, I'm gonna back up and I will give you my final thoughts about this collection. All right you guys, it's me. I'm back. I feel super blushed. I really like the look today and overall if you couldn't tell, I was very happy with all of the products in this collection overall. I would definitely say this is a successful launch with some really great products. We're gonna start off with the lip products. I think these are nice. Now for me, these aren't a necessity. They aren't something that I was really excited about because I do not need another lip color but it's a very comfortable formula. It's pretty, it does everything that it claims. It's nice but would I buy other colors? No. In fact, I really only need one but it's a good formula. The cheek products were definitely the ones that I was most excited for and I'm really excited to give you feedback about. I think for me, the most exciting product has to be the blush stick. I just think it's so versatile, so easy to use. I love how lightweight it looks on the cheek and I just feel like it's a really foolproof blush stick that you would really enjoy and I especially am excited for oily skin types to try this out because I feel like this is a cream formula that will work well for you. The mood light powder is the one where I don't necessarily recommend it. Again, it's a good formula if this is your cup of tea and you feel like this is something that you would use absolutely go for it but I think of everything. It's just not the best value. It's a little bit more of a production to use but that being said, it's the most blurring cheek product so give and take, it depends on your preferences of course but for me, it's the least necessary product. And then finally, the blush palette. It's a really nice blush formula. Like I said, a very unique way of getting luminosity on the cheek without actually emphasizing texture and having that reflective finish that highlights and a lot of blush lighters will give because that reflection is what emphasizes the texture on the cheek. This blurs, which I really like while still adding some luminosity to it and I really like the colors in here. If you're into fun pink colors, this one in particular, I really like so I am a fan of this one as well. I'd probably go in this collection. This I would rank number one. This one would be number two. I probably like, I don't know. These are like kind of neck and neck. It's just, they're two very different products. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope you found it helpful. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so. I will see you all in the next one. Bye guys, have a good one.
