Bobbi Brown Party Alice Lip Color
Bobbi Brown Holiday 2011: Party Alice Lip Color
Bobbi Brown Party Alice Lip Color ($23.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “pink rose.” It’s a new and limited edition shade from Bobbi Brown’s holiday collection. The Lip Color is designed to deliver “Rich color” with a “soft-matte finish,” while still moisturizing and being comfortable to wear. Party Alice is more like a coral-pink on me than rose; more peony than rose if we’re going to use floral descriptors! It’s opaque in color with a creamy finish that has a gentle sheen but no shimmer. There’s enough vibrancy there to brighten the face but not enough to make it a bright or neon shade at all; there’s a slightly dusty quality to the color. It’s a bit darker than MAC Ultra Darling, more opaque than Chanel Coquette, pinker and darker than NARS Niagara, and not as bright as Chanel Genial.
Bobbi Brown’s Lip Color formula is good; it delivers on the full color coverage it promises, and it isn’t drying. I find that they’re moisturizing enough to wear without feeling the urge to apply lip balm for four to five hours, though by six hours I’m ready for a boost of moisture. The creaminess in the texture allows for even color to deposit on the lips and good glide overall. Generally, I get four to six hours of wear with this formula, though I reached five hours with Party Alice in particular (it’s been awhile since I’ve tested the formula!).
The Glossover
Really lovely lipstick formula with excellent color payoff, comfortable and longer-than-average wear. This is the type of coral that looks good on cool and warm skintones!

Product & Review FAQ
Where can I purchase it? How much is it?
Bobbi Brown, $23.
Is it limited edition?
Yes.
Any dupes?
It's a bit darker than MAC Ultra Darling, more opaque than Chanel Coquette, pinker and darker than NARS Niagara, and not as bright as Chanel Genial.
This looks like more of a summer color but it is so pretty and looks creamy too!
It's definitely not your traditional holiday red!
Christine that looks gorgeous on you! I'm pretty fair skinned with blonde hair and green eyes so I don't know if it might be too bright for me, but based on the swatches and how it looks on you, I just called my favorite Bobbi Brown gal and ordered the lipstick, as well as all 3 dual ended eye liners, pretty much based on your recommendations! Now I can't WAIT to get my stuff and try it out!
You had me when I read Niagra! I have to have this color.
Haha :)
Hi Christine is this lipstick similar to MAC 'Fanfare' lipstick?
I think Fanfare is less rosy!
I bought mine today (at the Bobbi Brown Studio store in New Jersey, too!) I love it, it's so pretty and goes on so well!
YAY! Happy to hear you're loving it, Amanda!
It looks so pretty on you, and besides it's called Party Alice, so it's the closer I'll probably ever get to have a lipstick with my name.
It's a cute name, too :)
This reminds me of MAC Gem of Roses! That is my go to lipstick and it was LE so I might have to pick this up!
Let us know if you like it in person!
Oh My..very pretty. I would love to have this lipstick.
It seems like you're not alone!
I'm going to get that soon~! Very pretty!
Keep us posted on how it works out for you, Jane!
Very pretty Christine, this looks a lot like MAC Fanfare Cremesheen lipstick to me, anyone else? :)
I want to say Fanfare is less pink on me!
Me too!
Lovely color!On my lips, that looks exactly like Mac Gem of Roses so I'll pass but otherwise, I'd totally buy it!!As always, looking great Christine!
Thank you, Ana!
It looks gorgeous on you, Christine! I'll have to try this out in person. It might be a touch too light for my NC40/42 skin.
I think it would be lovely on your skin tone, Charito!
it's pretty....i had a l/s in a shade like this once but i thought it looked bad on me
Oh no!
Gorgeous!
:)
It's...beautiful. *_*
Seems like it's a hit! :)
Looks a little like the Cyndi Lauper Viva Glam lipstick. A very pretty and wearable shade.
Definitely a really wearable color!
I thought the same thing the first time I saw it! Maybe a little lighter though
...! A coral that will work on my cool toned skin? I think this might be a necessary.
Let us know how it goes!
I just nabbed it today while Christmas shopping, and I definitely have to recommend it as a great coral for us cool-toned girls. It's a little subtler and muted on my paler complexion but still quite flattering. Thank you so much for the recommendation! Fair warning to anybody wanting to try it, though - it's apparently selling out very quickly. The tube I bought today was the last one they had in stock at my Nordstrom's. :O
Thanks for the heads up, Veronica! So glad it's working out for you :D
I bought this last week and I love it. On my pigmented lips there's no coral at all, it's a deep rose. But it's a warm rose which suits me and I love the formula. The name is cool too.
What kind of pigmentation do your natural lips have?
Absolutely gorgeous on you!!
Thanks, Barbara!
It's so 'Ohhhh C'mon babe, come to mama !!' X3 So pretty on you, Christine :3 I'm gonna get this ! [run through the doors straight to the shop at the speed of light] Ty for sharing <3
Thank ya, Polly! :)
Love it!!! And my daughter's name is Alice, so I MUST have it!
Aww!
This is really pretty. It looks fantastic of you!! I'm looking for a warm pink frost lipstick, any suggestions? Thanks Christine! Stacy
Maybe MAC Bombshell?
Really pretty lipstick, and you look super pretty here!
Thanks! :)
Hi Christine! Thanks for your review. What a gorgeous color! It looks fabulous on you. Would you compare it to MAC viva glam Cyndi? It looks almost identical, but maybe the color is distorted on my computer screen. Thanks!
