Bobbi Brown Electric Violet High Shimmer Lipgloss
Bobbi Brown Electric Violet High Shimmer Lipgloss
Bobbi Brown Electric Violet High Shimmer Lipgloss ($23.00 for 0.24 fl. oz.) is described as a “pink with violet pearl.” It’s a semi-opaque medium-dark pink with fuchsia-pink shimmer and a glossy shine. It’s a little cooler-toned (more fuchsia) compared to MAC Dare to Dare, so MAC If It’s Pink comes a bit closer but still pinker. MAC Totally Bang is also similar but darker.
I’m a big fan of Bobbi Brown’s newest gloss; it took me a bit surprise, much as my appreciation for Chanel Glossimers happened over time, but these are my latest go-to when I want something super sparkling to wear alone or over a lipstick. It’s a non-sticky formula that moisturizes, wears for four hours or so, and looks like shimmering water when worn. I love that the shimmer isn’t gritty–you won’t feel rough glitter/shimmer as the gloss wears off at all–and it doesn’t turn tacky over time either. Electric Violet is really lovely over a red, especially blue-based ones.
Where to Buy: Bobbi Brown, $24
The Glossover
It's a versatile shade of pink, because it's wearable on its own, but it's sheer (but still pigmented enough to alter colors!) enough to allow a lipstick to show through. The sparkle/shine factor of these lipglosses is outrageous, which is why I love them so much!

Any dupes?

I went out bought two High shimmer glosses. I bought bellini and bare sparkle. I want the electric violet and two other glosses. I can already image this gloss over a fushia or fushia/violet lipstick like Sephora's rouge cream in #10(Mr. Lover).
I have this gloss in pink sequin...it's so pretty with my olive skin tone. :)
i want!
Will be getting this soon!! Christine, what are you wearing on your cheeks?
I can't remember! :(
this has no pigmentation!
It's not opaque, but it's definitely not zero pigmentation! These aren't supposed to be opaque, just FYI! :)
Great color! But shouldn't you be celebrating your engagement and Christmas Eve!? (:
I am/was! :) Still have time to handle the rest of things, lol!
Its a gorgeous shade Christine..looking lovely on you!! :)
Thanks, Kimi!
I actually bought this a couple weeks ago and instantly fell in love super gorgeous!
The formula is TDF!
Good timing! I was just looking at these and trying to decide what color to get! I'd heard they weren't very pigmented, which is fine, but I want it to at least show up. This one seems perfect, just the amount of pigmentation for a MLBB/brightening look~. And such a pretty shimmer too! Ps. Congrats :D
Thank you!! :) Yes, some of them are very, very sheer (like Bare), but others are more pigmented!
What a gorgeous color! I love bright pinks, this looks like a great way to wear the color sheer!
What a great color! Are these glosses scented?
Mint scented!
Its pretty and all, but totally underwhelming compared to the previous post..
LOL!
