Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss – Buff Review

Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss – Buff Review

Rati’s posts on MAC lip glasses reminded me about these Bobbi Brown lip glosses I picked up (yes, more than one) some time back, only to realize that I am not really a lip gloss person anymore! See, we all go through phases when we get attracted to certain kind of products – I went through the pink phase, the gothic cocoa bean brown phase, just lip gloss phase, purple lipstick phase, coral lipstick phase, orange phase and currently, seems like I am in my neon shades phase! Anyway

So, I will adding to my Bobbi Brown series with a few more Bobbi Brown products, first of them being this lip gloss.

Product Details:

A lip gloss with a sheer, non-sticky shine with a hint of color.  This lip gloss is formulated with soothing botanical extracts – including Avocado, Jojoba and Chamomile Oils, and Aloe Extract – to keep lips soft and supple; plus the new tapered applicator lets you apply it like a pro, scented with a hint of vanilla.

Price:

US $24 for 7 ml.

I have a mini version – cost me about INR 1200 for 4.2 ml (post conversions).

Packaging:

The lip gloss has a square transparent plastic bottle and comes with a brush like applicator. It’s extremely easy to apply and use around the lips curves. Packaging is extremely easy to carry in a clutch for re-application – since its small.

My Experience with Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss – Buff:

Color: The colour “Buff” is described on the website as “Beige Pink” which is absolutely apt. Its kind of perfect for someone trying to work out a glossy n*de lip colour or for someone trying to tone down a darker/brighter shade. Meaning, it will work well alone as well as on top of a lipstick.  There is no sparkle/sheen/shimmer at all – its pure glossiness.  Since the colour isn’t plain beige/brown, but has a peachy note, it looks natural and pretty rather than boring.

Texture: The texture is obviously glossy and a little sticky.

Pigmentation: It can be sheered out or built to colour in the tube by using a little more product when applying.

Lasting Power:  On its own, it lasts about 3 hours. On top of a lipstick, it lasts a little longer.

To sum this up for you:

Pros of Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss – Buff:

• A beautiful peachy beige colour making it versatile for lone application or for toning down a bright lipstick.
• Easy to use applicator.
• Does not settle into the fine lines of the lips.
• Feels hydrating.
• Convenient small packaging.
• Light pleasant fragrance – easy on the nose.

Cons of Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss – Buff:

• I don’t put pricing as a con, but in this case, I feel there is too little product for that pricing – even though quality is exceptional.

IMBB Rating:

Yes, a 4.5/5 product.

This is an absolutely fab colour with exceptional quality. I should know in terms of lip gloss quality because I went through “only lip gloss” phase not so long ago, though at that time I never used to buy high-end lip glosses, but with my current love for intensely pigmented lipsticks, I sometimes wonder why I get taken into buying products I won’t eventually use.

Does that happen to you? Do you get drawn to buying stuff, even though you know that you won’t really use it too often? Meaning, are you a hoarder like me?
