Please note that these shades of the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour Lipstick were sent to me as a PR sample, for my consideration. I was under no obligation to share these with you (but decided to as they freaking good!)

It should be apparent that lipstick is my favourite makeup item by now! I have drawers and drawers of the things in array of shades and finishes. It seems strange to me that anyone would NOT like the stuff!

However, speaking to a friend lately, I found that some people avoid using lipstick on a regular basis. She was saying that although she generally wears makeup every day to work int he form of foundation, concealer and eye makeup she never wears lipstick.

The reason?

She feels that it makes her look too “overdone” in that it tips the look from professional and effortless to looking like she has “tried too hard” and too formal. “It makes me feel like Im going to a party”  she said, almost embarrassed by her admission. So instead she stuck to glosses but hated how often she had to reapply.

She came to mind when I was trying out the new lipstick offering from Bobbi Brown. The Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour Lipstick offer the look of a lipstick with the feel of a balm in a formula which is at the same time pigmented yet sheer.

The lipstick bullet is on the firmer side and deposits the perfect amount of satin – matte colour onto the lips for a perfectly undone look. Think crushed berries blotted into the lips paired with a flawless base and barely there eye makeup.

The best way I have found to use the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour Lipsticks is to apply straight from the bullet (no liner needed) over the lips a couple of time before giving your hand a big smooch ( or the hand of a loved one) to blot down the lip colour.

There are 22 shades available from pinks to berries and maroon shades in this Vitamins E and C and beeswax rich formula that is swipe and go (with almost no need for a mirror)

From left to right; Bitten, Telluride, Ruby, Grenadine, Cranberry, Cabana, Daring Dalalid.

The Bobbi  Brown Crushed Lip  Colour  Lipsticks ($46) can be found at your local Mecca, Myer and David Jones.
