Review: Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color & FOTD
I have an obsession with lip color and Bobbi Brown’s new Creamy Lip Color lipsticks aren’t helping me.
Then again, I don’t care because I LOVE lippies!
We introduced you to Bobbi Brown’s new Creamy Lip Color ($22 US) a couple of weeks ago when we learned about this new lipstick formulated with shea butter and other plant-derived conditioners and I’ve had the pleasure of road-testing a couple of shades. I gotta say, the colors are beautiful, they’re long-lasting (I only had to reapply after I ate it with my lunch) and were extremely moisturizing.
Crystal Pink is a pretty pale pink that was a little hard for me to get an even color from. I had to swipe a few times to get an all over coverage, which resulted to my lips feeling a little heavy, but it completed my look to a “T”, so I didn’t’ mind too much.
Bronzed Pink is a shimmering bronzy pink shade that was super easy to apply. It has a lovely sheerness to it and felt extremely lightweight - definitely worthy of an everyday color if you love neutrals (and I do!).
Overall, if I only had the two to compare, I’d say that I like Bobbi Brown’s Creamy Lip Color lipsticks, but I’m not head over heals in love with them because I think the formulas between the two I had were a little inconsistent. However, this won’t stop me from looking into Blue Raspberry and Nectar when these babies hit counters next month.

Hey Vanessa!
You can keep reading, you’ll just have to find the eBay deals that the Muse always finds!

Aww thanks Muse!!
I’ve just never really been able to pull off bolder colors because I feel like I’d look like a clown. So I try to incorporate a little here and there whenever I can. So glad you like it!
I, of course, am still trying to master the beautiful shimmer shadows you seem to pull off so well

Thanks so much Mrs. Lynne! It’s rare for me to wear headbands; I think that one was the first time I wore one for more than an hour since grade school!

You know, I have to say: I’m not crazy about the way that ‘Bronzed Pink’ looks in the swatch, but it looks like the perfect daytime neutral in the FOTD. I bet it would pair really well with warm-colored eye shadows (greens, and the like).

Hi MandyPandy,
You’re right, I think that Bronzed Pink would look really nice with a green eye - thanks for the suggestion, I’m going to try that today!
I actually wore Crystal Pink again yesterday and decided that it wasn’t as thick as I originally thought; I just needed to put a little lip balm on my lips first. They really are long-lasting and I’m enjoying them more and more.
I was never able to find out what color that shade was (lower left one) in my original post about the Creamy Lip Colors, but I hope you check them out anyway!
