Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color Review

I've never been a big fan of Bobbi Brown, I've always dismissed them as a "playing it safe" brand were all the products are pretty but boring and the few products I have bought from them have got very little usage.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Finish Lipstick in Nectar

These lipsticks intrigued me because to look at they remind me of Benefits Silky Finish Lipstick and MAC Slimshine which I love.
Are they similar? Sort of.
The have the same translucent finish that looks moist and glossy with just the right amount of color, they glide on the lips and feel really hydrating but unlike the Benefit and MAC versions they feel thick and heavy on the lips.
Now this is not necessarily a bad thing cause in being so thick they last longer on the lips but I personally find myself wiping it of after an hour or so cause I can't stand the feeling any longer.
The color range is pretty natural and soft and I must admit I found a fair few that I liked but went with the shade called Nectar as I was looking for a pale peach.
Would I re-purchase? Not until they change the formula.
If you don't mind you lip products feeling heavy then you'll love these, if your like me avoid these because you'll be disappointed.

Another Day, Another Haul.

More new stuff for me to play with, quite a bit of which I've been putting off for a while but finally caved in.
I'm trying to buy less new make-up but at the moment I'm failing miserably.


Sleek Safary Palette

The new Sleek Safari Palette

Batiste Boho and Natural High

Batiste Boho Dry Shampoo, they have another new one too called Diva but it was out of stock at Superdrug.
Natural High Brightening Eye Cream, on sale for £2.60 as light reflective particles as well as an AHA complex to gently exfoliate the eye area, bought one for my sister too as she as dreadful dark circles and her eyes are really dry.

Urban Deacay, GOSH and Bobbi Brown

Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Doug
Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Kirk
Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Minx
GOSH Soft N' Shine Balm in Antique Gold, lovely caramel gold color but the shimmer doesn't stay put and within a hour of wear I have a glittery nose and chin.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in #04 Nectar

YSL and Estte Lauder

YSL Rouge Pur Shine in #32 Frozen Mango
Estee Lauder Pure Color Lasting Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle
Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Gloss in Honey Glaze

Forgot to mention I also bought two tubs of hair mask from a range called Naked which specialises in natural products.
They were 2 for £10 so I got the Naked Shine Glossing Hair Treatment and Naked Vitamin Boost Treatment.
