Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss Review

Purchased for $50 which makes it the most expensive lipgloss I have ever bought. The colour is amazing, a dark bronze with sparkles however it just doesn't last and I find myself having to re-apply more often than I like to. I also find the texture to be a bit light as I prefer a more sticky/moisturising gloss. Would not purchase again.

I recently got given a tester one of these by a friend. I've never been a big lipgloss fan since I don't like the sticky feeling of it but this is a cute colour and it smells amazing. The biggest problem I have with it is I just can't imagine spending that much money on something that isn't that much better than the lower range products. It feels the same to wear, it doesn't look very different and it just doesn't seem worth it to me. It's not bad though and I can understand why people might buy this if they liked lipgloss and had the money.

Yes, I know this is a more decadent purchase- there are loads of cheaper glosses out there. But there is something about Bobbie Browns palette of flattering shades, the rich, shiny gloss finish and the handy sized tubes that keep me coming back for more! They seem to last for ages, and I've never been unhappy with quality. Never strictly 'trend' shades, the colours are still totally up to date and gorgeously glossy. Easy application wand too. Never been unhappy when I've bought one of these! :)

Bobbi Brown glosses come in such beautiful colours, there is bound to be one for everyone, and I am no exception. However I found the gloss a bit thick when applied and had a habit of chewing it off my lips before it created white cake lines. Lovely gloss but expensive for what it is. I also found after a while the wand became hard to return to the bottle as the opening is quite slim and the gloss quite sticky. I do feel there are other glosses on the market for less that do the same job however search for a brand with the same range of colour selection to get your ideal colour.

I believe this was the first Bobbi Brown product I ever owned. I bought mine from Sephora via Shipito after trying the deluxe sample. I almost missed out on this because I really loved the mini but I absolutely hated the brush tip which would flare out and be an absolute nuisance to put back into the tube. It was relief to find that the full size has a decent doe foot applicator!

I believe Rose Sugar is probably one of my most favourite lipgloss shades I've ever come across. On my lips it was a gorgeous semi pale pinky shade with shimmer. Yes I hate shimmer and yes I hate pink but I don't think I would have liked this gloss as much if it wasn't for this combination. It has a fantastic amount of shine to it and feels comfortable on the lips.

I actually find the gloss to be thick and sticky, the more I used it the more gloopy (is that a word…Collins Dictionary says yes) it became. I didn't find it particularly long wearing but for me the shade was everything. After a few months of use it becomes a bit too tacky to use which is unfortunate because it cost a pretty penny to own. Would I repurchase? I probably would because the colour is a dream to wear.

I have this lip gloss in shade Lilac Sugar 5. I purchased it after having my makeup done at the Bobbi Brown counter. The lip gloss smells nice and leaves them looking shiny but the purple colour of the gloss doesn't really come out very well. It's not too sticky like some glosses can be which is great. For the price $50.00 I don't think I would purchase again as there are much more reasonable products out there that do a comparable or better job in my opinion.
