Bobbi Brown Ultra Violet Sheer Color Lip Gloss
Bobbi Brown Ultra Violet Sheer Color Lip Gloss

Bobbi Brown Ultra Violet Sheer Color Lip Gloss ($23.00 for 0.24 fl. oz.) is described as a “sheer violet pink.” It’s a sheer pop of purpled pink with cool, berry-like undertones. This formula is supposed to be sheer, so the color is just right; it’s noticeable but not dominating and lets the natural lip color come through. I couldn’t think of a perfect dupe for the color, though. Illamasqua Move has similar coloring but it’s opaque, so it looks very different.

The formula feels non-sticky initially, but there is a subtle tackiness that develops over the two-and-a-half hour wear time (which never amounts to enough tackiness to call it sticky, though).  The gloss adds a little color with a lot of shine–the real selling feature of the gloss is that juicy shine it gives off.  It has a thinner consistency, so it feels lightweight once applied to lips.  Like Bobbi Brown’s other glosses, it has a mint scent and comes in a square tube with a doe-foot applicator.

Thanks for the review as always, Christine! Is it any similar to Mac’s ‘Revenge is Sweet’ lipglass from the Venomous Villains collection? I’ve been trying to find a replacement for that lipglass because I loved it so much when it came out!

i am really disappointed by these. to have a collection named “neon and nude” and not have anything on the neon side that actually shows some kind of color on the face is ridiculous.

This reminds me of a sheerer version (also minus the sparkle) version of Chanel imaginaire. This may be a touch more purple though. have you compared these two?

I think you accidentally doubled up your paragraph in the Final Thoughts box.

The lipgloss itself is quite pretty, despite my preference for a slightly more opaque look in glosses.
