Bobbi Brown Shimmer Finish Lipstick

I can’t be held responsible if you end up hauling all twelve shades of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Finish Lip Color! These beautiful new shimmery lipsticks are totally gorgeous so it is understandable if you suddenly develop a lemming to grab them all up and make them yours!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Finish Lip Color

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Finish Lip Color ($25) combine all the elements I LOVE about lipstick! A high-shine finish with a slick, easy glide formula, and beautiful light reflecting pearls that give the finish a gorgeous multidimensional look. For me all the shades seem to have a fine golden shimmer that catches the light with a beautiful sparkle!

These have a very soft, buttery feel so they glide on without tugging and feel quite moisturizing. They have a high shine finish that looks very glossy in finish. They don’t migrate on my drier lips and wear a solid four hours however, be prepared for left over shimmer to be left on lips after they wear away. The shimmer is quite refined so it doesn’t feel gritty in the formula. The sparkle really catches the light rather beautifully but it it isn’t a disco ball effect, it’s more like it adds a golden element to the shades.

If you love shimmer finish lipsticks I can guarantee you’ll adore Bobbi Brown Shimmer Finish Lip Color. These add beautiful color and sparkle to lips in a very grown up wear plus the texture of these is so lightweight and quite moisturizing and oh so shiny.

    These look really sheer as the dark berry color that looked the most rich, they swatched beautifully, but to me the color pay off wasn’t the greatest. A lot of them looked the same to me, really sheer, but then again summer is coming. These remind me of the Chanel Coco Rouge balm- the famous “Boy” color which those don’t really have the greatest color payoff either for the price, but they wear very comfortably.

    Hi Muse. Nice review, I was wondering if these were shiny or frosty and you covered that well. Have to ask: you mention that shimmer is left behind as they fade away. Does it migrate much? That always seem to happen to me with shimmer lippies and I hate it! You look in the mirror and you’ve got shimmer on your chin and up your nose, etc :). I know that happens to you too cause I frequently see you mention how you wind up with lip stick or gloss all over your face. Which makes me laugh so hard the way you write about it. So was wondering about that with these. Thanks.

      hey dev! thank GOD no frost. Just a really lovely golden sparkle…it’s really subtle, it creates more of a golden luminosity versus hardcore sparkle/shimmer. no, I have drier lips at the moment and no probs with it ending up on my forehead ;-D hahaha! yeah, that’s me, total dork running around with gloss on my nose hehehe…! hope this helps!
