Last month I posted a What's On My Face where I used a lipstick I had just bought. I got a ton of compliments on the colour, not just from you guys but also from 'real life' people out and about, and really, that's the true test of a good product. A few weeks down the line now and I've given it a run for it's money, and I can definitely say it's a firm favourite.
There's a new Bobbi Brown store in Westfield so naturally I popped in after a lecture one afternoon (my university is handily located a three minute walk from Westfield) to peruse the counters. Bobbi Brown is a makeup range that I lust after frequently, but purchase rarely. I'm not really sure why that is, maybe because their range is quite solid, it's got all the basics, but I tend to get hooked in by the latest and greatest. Either way, all the products I do have from there I love, so I didn't have any qualms about picking up something.
After a little swatching I fell in love with the Sheer Lip Colours, a line of lipsticks with a creamy, sheer but buildable formula, and ended up taking home Tutu, a peach that definitely sits on the pink sides of proceedings, but is quite muted on the lips, just giving a wash of colour to perk up the whole face. I don't own anything like this in my collection, Rimmel's Let's Get Naked is similar but more orange based, and this is definitely more subtle. Either way it was an unusual colour choice for me, but the risk definitely payed off.
I love this colour on me, it's my perfect lazy makeup day colour, just adding something to the face to make it look more alive. The lasting power is excellent, particularly for a sheerer formula lip colour, and I love that you can wear this sheer, or build it up. The packaging is sleek and I love the magnetised close to it.
I've totally fallen in love with this lipstick, I'd go as far to say it could be one of my favourite discoveries of the year, up there with the Urban Decay Lipsticks, and the Dior BB Creme. I'm definitely going to be adding a few more of these to the collection in the future!
You can see this colour on my face here.
Have you tried any Bobbi Brown Lipsticks? What should I try from there next?
