I’m going to ask you to trust me on this one – Go and get yourself a Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip<\/strong>. Just trust me, you’ll love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do. I love mine to itty bitty bits. It’s not even a crush. It’s a full-blown love affair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think, if I hadn’t already fallen in love with the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour<\/a>, I might have overlooked this new release a few months ago. But in love with the Crushed Lip Colour I am, so when the liquid version was launched, I hot-footed it down to the nearest counter to have a look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also promptly went home with 2 shades (because they are quite affordable) and have been enjoying them ever since. I was on the verge of blogging about it, when as fate would have it, all the shades landed on my desk! You should have seen the grin that split my face from ear to ear \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also meant I had to get down to work! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip – quite perfect!<\/div><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am not a big fan of liquid lipstick. I hardly own any, because most liquid lipstick tend to be matte or mattifying, and I am not a big fan of matte lips. I like my lips to have a touch of shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liquid lipstick also tend to be drying, to settle in and emphasize lip lines, and\/or bleed. I am not big on a high-maintenance lip colour or formula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So happily, the Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip is none of the above!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes in fairly basic, simple packaging. The tube pretty much reflects the colour within, and it is bright and cheery and easy to identify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said however, as I will show you below, the colour in tube is a touch misleading. I found that many colours did not look very appealing in the tube, but when I swatched them, whether on hands or on lips, I was pleasantly surprised at how flattering they were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some looked pretty in tube, but looked less flattering on skin. So, my advice with these, is to actually test them, because you might be surprised. As I was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balmy texture, opaque colour, soft shine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip is the texture. It looks like a lip gloss, with a slightly thick, a little goopy texture. However, swipe it on lips, and it feels like you’ve drawn a blanket of balm over your lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went on a cold Spring holiday with no lip balm except this Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip, and it kept my lips comfortable, chap-free and flake-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that was my biggest test, and it passed with flying colours! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels very emollient, like a rich oil balm on lips, that protects and nourishes your lips. It does not settle into lip lines, but seem almost to make lips look more plumped, which I love of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also love how opaque the colour is, when swiped on lips. It is so easy for the colour to show, because it is so opaque, with just one swipe! This is true of all the colours, whether the pale nudes or the deepest plum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bobbi<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It comes in a typical lipgloss style packaging, with a sponge-tipped applicator that is quite large. It does pick up quite a lot of product, so I recommend wiping on the edge before applying to lips, so you get a more even application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opacity is such that you can easily just swipe the whole applicator over your lips for colour, without double-dipping! It will give you a fairly even, fairly opaque lip colour. If you want to build the colour up, apply a second coat. But you don’t usually have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like how I can tone the opacity up or down, depending on how I feel. If I feel like just applying a tint of colour to my lips, I can just apply a thin layer. If I want full on colour, I apply more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finish isn’t matte (which is why I love it so much!) It is a soft shine that isn’t too glossy, but neither is it too mattifying. The latter can usually be aging, and the last thing I want is to look older \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Scent! YES!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there’s one thing I’ve started to abhor, it is fragranced lipstick. I can forgive some like the Guerlain Rouge G, because their formula is stunning. But in the main, I prefer my lip products to have no scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip has NO SCENT and NO TASTE at all! I absolutely LOVED that. No waxy scent, no waxy taste, no sweet, icky, cheap perfume that bugs you through the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing. Just pure juicy comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairly long lasting but will mark cups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I personally find the Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip to be fairly long lasting. The deeper colours stay on for a long time, without drying out lips or leaving a stain. It will, of course, fade with eating and drinking, but for me, quite slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will however, mark cups and is not transfer-proof. I never look for that in a lipstick, because anything that will not budge off your lips will dry them out to a husk. It is the oils in the formula that comfort, nourish and keep lips moisturized, and this naturally makes for a more mobile formula. It will transfer, so no kissing \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shades available are very flattering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I first went to the Bobbi Brown store, I unfortunately did not actually test the colours. I went by how they looked in the tube, and that was my main mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not recommend just eye-balling them in store. Please test them on the back of your hand, or if you trust them enough, to test them on your lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I eventually started testing the colours that I received, I found that colours I thought to be too pale, or dull and boring, to be very wearable and flattering. Most of them were deeper than they look in the tube (a good thing for me). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the formula is quite opaque when applied, I think it adds to the depth. For me, that’s a good thing. However, if you favour a barely there look, then this might not be for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me show you first, the swatches on the back of my hand, and then on my lips, so you have an idea of how it looks when I wear them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I swatched these from light to dark, and I will give a rough description of the shade. The colour description in brackets is the official description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
