Bobbi Brown Guava Lipstick
The Summer Season: Bobbi Brown Guava Lipstick
Bobbi Brown Guava Lip Color ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is an opaque shade of peachy coral with no shimmer, just a soft sheen, and a creamy feel and look. It applies beautifully and makes lips look fuller and softer. This is a great way to wear coral without being too coral, and it’s a fitting shade for summer without being bright or bold, too. It’s not sheer so it’s still noticeable, though. Gotta love the scent- and taste-free nature of it, too!
Is this the right coral for you? Would you wear it?
The Summer Season is a series of posts featuring bright, vibrant shades of coral, orange, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for a summer of fun — that runs through July 2010.

Gorgeous! Reminds me of Stila's Convertible Color in Lillium, my HG blush, which I sometimes wear on lips as well. going to go get me this l/s. thanks for nice review and swatches!
I want that NOW! XD =))
This color is so pretty on you! I love how creamy and opaque it is.
Thanks, Sally!
I concur, this colour looks wonderful on you! How does it compare to MAC Ravishing, colour and texture wise?
A bit darker, not quite as light and peachy. Texture is similar, though this is smoother and creamier.
loveeeeeeeee! ♥
Hey, Christine! I was wondering whether you know a good drugstore dupe for this. I LOOOVE this color but I don't really have $22 for a lipstick at the moment. Thanks in advance if you know of one! :)
I don't know of one yet :(
any mac dupes? or other dupes?
Maybe MAC Ravishing, though it's a bit lighter.
l'oreal guava glaze is a dupe
any mac or cheaper dupes for this?
Maybe Vegas Volt or Ravishing.
How long of wear do get from this formula?
I get around 3-4 hours!
oh, Christine, please stop breaking my bank! Start only posting ugly lipsticks that I will never in a million years buy or wear! --yet another that HAS to be added to my list of wants.
LOL! I'll try :P
How long of wear does this lipstick give you?
About 3-4 hours!
How does this compare the Lancome's Stylista?
Less pink!
what blush are you wearing?? :] this lip color is so gorgeous btw
NARS Angelika
Lovely! Christine, how does this compare to Mac's Vegas Volt? I have VV and love this but I don't want dupes. Thanks! :-)
Wayyy less bright! Less coral, too.
is this similar to MAC Jazzed or dressmaker2? do you find bobbi brown's lipstick drying ur lips?
Similar to Jazzed - maybe a touch pinker. Nope, not drying!
This looks really pretty! Would you say it's similar to Jazzed? I am assuming Jazzed is more orange-leaning than this one?
I would say it is quite similar to Jazzed--Jazzed might be a little more obviously orange.
How is this compared to ravishing?
It's a good deal darker - not quite as light/peach.
This is a really nice shade, a sort of peach-coral. I've been searching for a shade like this, so I'll be checking this one out..
Oooh, this might be a good replacement for Urban Decay's Jailbait... more coral, I think, but it looks close. I love the color of Jailbait, but I hate the taste. Definitely checking this one out :)
Oh very pretty! I have to pick one ! btw it looks really good on u !
Thanks, Hend!
So pretty! I might have to check this one out.
soo pretty! the color kinda compliments you eyes :)
Why are you so lucky and get to look gorgeous in everything? :)
Pfft!
This is LOVELY!! You look gorgeous Christine!
Thanks, Adriana!
This is such a pretty color! Unfortunately, coral usually looks weird on me, maybe the trick is finding the right shade for my skin. Im an nc40-42 and Im still trying to find shades that look good for me. I might test this out next time Im at Macys.
Great colour!
Silly question, but is there such thing as a cool orange? I'd like to wear orange lips but given my cool undertones, I never can!
Kind of, but not SUPER cool.
A very nice wearable shade indeed. It looks classic and "safe", if I could put it that way. The kinda shade you would wear to Satuday brunch with your in-laws. :)
You can really wear so many colours! so jealous. only pinks suit me I think but i'll have to try to move outside my comfort zone. anyway this is lovely, would be perfect with a chocolate brown smokey eye!
Oh a quick question: do you take close up pictures of your lips and eyes or do you take an overall photo and zoom in?
I get more skin around my mouth than what's shown here, but just my lips and part of my chin, I'd say. Generally no nose, but sometimes my aim is wonky!
