We continue with our journey on all things Bobbi Brown.  As I have mentioned in my previous articles, Bobbi Brown cosmetics are not about the colours of the rainbow. Rather, its about subtle makeup – as invisible as is possible – enhancing the true tone of a women’s lips, face, eyes.  When Bobbi started off, she hated the lipsticks available in the market and wanted colors that would look like the wearer’s own lips, that would be creamy but have staying power, that would feel good and have no scent. And so, in 1990, she began working with a chemist on just such a line. In 1991, she launched ten neutral lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. They had projected sales of 100 lipsticks in their first month; 100 were sold the first day!! That’s the power of Bobbi Brown cosmetics and I am so happy to see them come to India.

Bobbi Brown today has about 5 different kinds of lipsticks (excluding the Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks).

The lipstick I review for you today is again part of Bobbi’s Top 10 and was launched in 2011 – Rich Lip Color Lipstick – they are known to be extremely pigmented, lightweight with creamy texture and have SPF-12.

Product Description:

Rich Lip Color – In Bobbi’s own words – “I love this formula because it combines color-saturated coverage with an uber lightweight texture.”

Bright, get-noticed colour. Lightweight, yet intense, Bobbi’s latest formula combines pigments with a clear base to deliver pure, crisp color with just one swipe. Plus, it’s creamy and moisturizing, so lips feel as good as they look.  Featured in Real Simple magazine’s “5 Worth-it-splurges” (March 2012) and the Today Show for its long-lasting, non-drying formula as well as wide range of shades that complement all skin tones.  These were launched in 12 colours but are now available in 21 colours.

Price:

$25.00 for 3.8 gm (vs 3 – 3.2gms of product from other brands).

I bought it online for about INR 1500.  Do let me know what the price is in the Saket shop.

Packaging:

The packaging is standard Bobbi Brown black – its sleek sturdy plastic packaging. These lipsticks come in a black square tube. The tube is packed in a cardboard box.  There is no colour indicator on the packaging except the name written on the bottom. Just like MAC lipsticks, if you have more than one (which is quite possible once you try these!!), it is difficult to locate the shade you need, in your stash.

Ingredients:

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color Lipstick - Rose Blossom 3

Product:

Rose Blossom, as per the website, is “a pink rose.”

It’s a bright (not neonish) pink with a hint of plum in it. In the tube, it looks fairly okay colour, however, on the lips, its transforning! It lights up the face, and your lips actually look like rose petals! Okay!! Stop laughing!! It really does. This range of Bobbi has numerous shades of pinks – I do think this is the best one!

The texture is a dream – and its pretty constant (standard) across different colours in this line. The lipstick just glides on giving opaque pigmentation – there is no tug or pull.

The product is creamy – but not glooppy. Post application, it becomes semi-matte – however, it does not sink into the fine lines on my lips. It is not really hydrating but neither does it dry my lips (and I do have dry lips). On the contrary, it is extremely light-weight, making you forget that you have any lipstick on.

It lasted for about 6 hours (with one snack in between) and left a very faint pink stain.

To sum this up for you:

Pros of Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color Lipstick – Rose Blossom:

  • Beautiful colour – easily wearable, extremely flattering.
  • Excellent pigmentation.
  • Would suit most skin tones – from light spectrum to dark.
  • Extremely lightweight – you forget that you have it on!
  • Instantly brightens up the face.
  • Easy application.
  • Sleek and sturdy packaging.
  • Does not feather.
  • Despite its semi-matte finish – does not accentuate the fine lines of my lips.
  • Did not dry out my lips.

Cons of Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color Lipstick – Rose Blossom:

  • The price might be a con here but the quality of the product is fabulous and incomparable.

There is no discernible smell or taste – like I said before, I am not classifying this aspect in pros and cons – because this is personal preference.

Grande Finale:

    1. *thankyou* *thankyou* *thankyou* Astha! It is indeed a lovely shade!

      rofl rofl No, I dont have one of each! I wish!! Actually, the Bobbi Brown bug hit me about a year back. Ive been trying her products since a year and loving them so much that I ended up trying more things and loving them more! So, I do have a few which you will see reviewed through the month. Its just that I woke up to reviewing them only now. The fact that their outlet opened in India kind of gave me a push! More lippies coming up!

      1. haha, and I see totally why 😛 BB is super hot brand and suits you perfectly. I have been taking notes from your posts, I am gonna do a huge haul when I visit Delhi *hihi* *puchhi* *hifive*

          1. Ha Ha! Thats the idea….I want to review BB products that I have so that whoever is lucky enough to go the store, is able to take an informed decision on what to buy….Because they are certainly not cheap. And I am not sure how steep is the price going to be in India post the duties, etc. Do share with us what you finally pick up from them.

  1. *thankyou* *thankyou* I am enjoying this too Neha! I think I should follow this route only – cover products from 1 brand and then move to the other! The other day my hubby asked me – “Do you guys only talk good stuff about the products you review?” And it got me thinking, thats not the case, but what excites you to write are the products which work for you rather than the other way round! So I am really enjoying this series cause I really like BB products! And its fun sharing that excitement with others!! *happy dance* *happy dance* *happydance* *happydance* *happy dance* *happy dance*

    Such pinks are so easy to wear and look fab too! *preen* *preen*

    1. Yes, Im happy too!! *happy dance* *happy dance* *happy dance* This lipstick is going to see a lot of wear.

      And *thankyou* !! Its a Swarovski – have an addiction to that too! *powder* *powder*
