Love it: all new Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color

Bobbi Brown has always killed it when it comes to lipstick formulas, with a huge shade range that caters to a vast number or skin colours and undertones. I’ve long been a fan of their matte formulas, but have recently fallen in love with a whole new category – the stain/lipstick/balm hybrid that is Crushed Lip Color.

The brand calls Crushed Lip Color a “stain-lipstick”, and it definitely leaves a stained flush of colour that doesn’t dry out and feels almost balm-like at first swipe. Inspired by the effortlessly cool and easy beauty routines of the company’s girl crushes, it pairs a beautiful soft, matte pigment with a blotted down finish for a lived-in look that lasts all day.

The perfect weekender, the new formula glides on comfortably, and leaves lips hydrated, soft and smooth with Vitamins E and C and beeswax. As it’s super-pigmented, the balmy texture easily covers lips in a single swipe, and it comes with the promise of eight hours of “feather-free, fade-proof” wear. I have found that fading – or at least, a little diffusing - does happen after a long day going about my business, but it fades evenly and beautifully in time for another swipe.

This beauty is in store now with an RRP of $58.00, and in twenty beautiful shades like Bitten, Crush, Blackberry and Grenadine. Just gorgeous.
