Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Bare Pink, Guava and Mod Pink

Hello there! I'm back from the dead! I know I've been M.I.A lately and that's because I've been really busy with work. Yes, not school - but work. Anyway, I also lost the urge to write for some weird reason. I seriously don't know why but that's what happened. Now that I'm back, I hope this continues because I have a lot of stuff to share with all of you guys!

First, is the ever delayed post on my Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in 3 shades. I do have five which includes Cosmic Raspberry and Soft Coral.

First off, I would like to show you guys Bare Pink which is as natural as a lipstick gets. It's more of a nude shade, not really lip color because my natural lip color is pink and this is like beige-y type.

This is how it looks like - very natural and very simple. Best when you have grand eyes and or bright cheeks! Something I would wear everyday.

Next is Guava which a bright pink/orange color.

See what I mean?

It's definitely bright. I would wear this with a clean, fresh face without the redness, strong brows, and a brown shade of eyeshadow. This is so summer! I love it and it's one of the brightest colors I have.

Next is Mod Pink which is one of Cosmo's top pink lipstick in their annual Beauty Awards. And seriously, it does not fall short when it comes to the color payoff.

I couldn't get a decent picture close to the real deal and this is the closest one I got. Sorry if it's a bit blurry. Anyway, this is how it looks like on me.

This is one of my go to pink lipsticks because it's a barbie pink but not a loud one like NARS Schiap or those other bright pinks. This is obviously very wearable and something you could pair with any outfit, anytime anywhere! Love, love it!

For buying all that, I of course got freebies!

Both are free from Bobbi Brown and they are all so nice! Imagine, I got a palette! I don't think this is even a real freebie because it's a palette! The colors are nice and very pigmented, seriously! The blush is my favorite. One swipe and it's perfect!

 The other one I got is an eye cream or a base for concealer! Perfect. Doesn't make it oily or makes the make up melt. There's really nothing bad I can say for Bobbi Brown products!

Here are some photos of the lipsticks:

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Cosmic Raspberry

I promised to show you guys the swatches of my new colors from Bobbi Brown but I just got my favorite color out of the dozen which I reserved from Bobbi Brown since they got out of stock the last time I was there. It's Cosmic Raspberry. It's super bright, most pigmented of all the colors I have and it's very long-lasting. No doubt about that. I tried eating and drinking and it didn't fade much.

It not very bright on the tube but very different when applied. I know some lipsticks have very bright tubes but when you apply it, it's either sheer or the color isn't too bright. However, with the Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color collection, it's the opposite, all the colors look boring on the tube but when applied, they pop! 

I tried a couple of pictures and these are the best ones. Just note that this is so much deeper in person. It's perfect for every skin tone. When I had this reserved in Bobbie Brown Rustan's, I asked the SA to try it on me using their tester and I didn't want to take it out. It's just that I had to go to the office in the afternoon and I know this would be too bright for the office. I looove it!

 So much brighter and deeper in person.

Have you tried any of the 12 Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color? Do tell!

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Soft Coral

Last Friday, I finally went to Forever 21 in SM Makati to shop for shorts (hello beach) and some coverups. After shopping there, I was supposed to leave but my I had to pick up my mom so I had 1.5 hours left to go around. I read in one blog about the new lipsticks of Bobbi Brown so I went to Rustan's Cosmetics to check them out.

Here's a little background - I've never had a lipstick from Bobbi Brown before. I use their amazing concealer and pressed powder and one palette. That's all. So I was excited to try out their lipsticks. I believe there are currently 3 lines of lipsticks right now. There is the Lip Color which is their original, Creamy Lip Color which is supposed to be long-lasting and creamy and finally the new Rich Lip Color which is long-lasting, bright and very pigmented.

My favorite SA from Bobbi Brown, Bea, wasn't there at the time because she was on break. I was planning on just going some other day but I realized I have no where to go so I decided to try on some colors with Riel (I hope I remember his name correctly). He's super friendly and gives me advice on how to properly put on my lipstick. He even put some corrector and concealer on my undereye. I wanted one of the famous colors which are Bikini Pink and Cosmic Raspberry but both are out of stock so I asked if I could reserve it and he said yes. Yey for that. So there were other colors available and I tried it on. Guess how many tubes I took home? Guess!

Yep, I took home 4 with me and a few samples.

Ouch but worth it.

They look so gorgeous!

The first color I really wanted to try was Soft Coral because I have been in search for the best orange lipstick and I have found it, no doubt!

 

These seriously don't look impressive on the tube because they look dark or light but when you apply it, it just pops! Seriously, this is even brighten in person. Everyone who saw me said my lips look pretty and I agree! It's very summery and it's not the cheap orange lipstick. Very sophisticated but at the same time very young. I love it!

 I used this color the whole day - from 7AM till 5PM and I only had to retouch twice. I retouched because I want the color to be a lot brighter but if I didn't it would still have lasted for a long time. Plus, it did not come off when I ate and drank. Yey!

This is how it looks on Temptalia and the photo is more accurate than mine. This is really how it looks like in person. It's very bright and it really pops! My picture did not give justice to the color of this lipstick. :| I promise to take better pictures next time.

Sooo, I have three more colors to share with you guys so stay tuned!
