Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color SPF 12, Creamy Lip Color, Lip Color

The main perk of being signed up with a cosmetic company - birthday celebration coupons!  I really enjoy Bobbi Brown products, but I had never tried their lip colors.  Since I'm on a lipstick obsession kick, I decided to take a chance on these $22 lip colors!  Whew!  That's a lot of money for a lipstick!

I bought one shade from their 3 main lip lines; Rich Lip Color SPF 12, Creamy Lip Color, Lip Color
Here's the excerpts from the website on each line:

Rich Lip Color SPF 12
Bright, get-noticed color. Introducing Rich Lip Color SPF 12. 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. Available in 13 beautifully wearable shades.
My Thoughts: This lip color goes on EXTREMELY easy - it's absolutely amazing!  I think this one is my favorite out of the 3 lip colors because it's smooth, moisturizing and I don't feel the need to apply a gloss or lip conditioner because it doesn't dry out my lips.  The lip color is so pigmented that after you remove it, there's a bit of a tint to the lips - which I love!  After hours of wearing this color, when it began to fade it was still very pigmented and still moisturizing.  I love the shades in this line because they are so potent and gorgeous - I've been trending bright lips lately and this line has me contemplating buying another lip color at full price!
Creamy Lip Color
Creamy Lip color combines rich color with comfortable, long-lasting wear and a soft, creamy shine. With emollient shea butter and plant-derived skin conditioners, this amazing formula glides on smooth, wears all day, and leaves lips soft and moisturized.
My Thoughts: This lip color applies smoothly and lasts all day long - I opted for a nude shade (which I never do) because if I want a long lasting color - it should be a color that goes with every look.  When I first applied this lip color I actually said aloud "OH EM GEE!"  It's luxuriously smooth to apply and the conditioning sensation you get on first application, lasts most of the day.  I only had to reapply in the evening after eating because my lips felt a bit dry - to my surprise I unknowingly grabbed this lip color rather than my chap stick.  The shades in this line are definitely more neutral and daily wearable - this will be one of the lipsticks in my purse's makeup bag.
Lip Color
Bobbi’s original formula treats lips to rich color with a soft-matte finish. Infused with Vitamins E and C as well as Beeswax, it also moisturizes and comforts lips.
My Thoughts: Okay, so this lip color completely shocked me!  It applies pretty dry, like a usual matte lipstick does, but once you press your lips together the formulation is quite smooth and moisturizing.  I haven't even worn a gloss over this because it's conditioning enough to not need help.  I love matte lipsticks, and anyone who loves mattes too should definitely try this out.  To be honest, I prefer this matte lip color over my MAC matte lip colors.  The shade range in this line is fantastic!  There's nudes, neutral pinks, red, browns, pretty much a color for everyone.  The pigmentation is outstanding as well - almost a mix between a matte lipstick and a tinted lip conditioner.  I have even worn this sheered out by using my finger to apply and the color comes off as a pigmented stain effect.



 Now for the HAUL portion of this blog!  Here's the shades I chose:
