Bobbi Brown Forever Chill, Force of Nature, In the Buff Crushed Oil-Infused Glosses Reviews & Swatches
Forever Chill
Bobbi Brown Forever Chill Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a light-medium, caramel brown with muted, warm yellow undertones and a high-shine, glossy finish. It had sheer to semi-sheer coverage that applied evenly, but the unevenness of my natural lip color was more noticeable due to the sheerness (but I really didn’t think the gloss itself was to blame!). The consistency was smooth, spreadable, and non-sticky with a plusher feel, which made it more comfortable to wear. It stayed on nicely for four hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$27.00/0.2 oz. - $135.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "ultra-shiny" (it is) with a "cushiony, comfy feel" (nailed it) that has a "burst of color" (sheer to medium coverage) that is "ultra-hydrating." It has more of a smooth, gel-like texture, which is where it gets that "cushiony, comfy feel," and it spread easily over my lips and felt comfortable to wear.
There was a strong shine that lingered for two to three hours during wear with shades lasting, generally, between three and five hours overall (with reduced shine toward the end). Some shades had slight to light product that sank into my lip lines, but the higher-shine finish made that less noticeable in person. The formula felt hydrating over time, and they had a herbal, lemony scent but no discernible taste.

Force of Nature
Bobbi Brown Force of Nature Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a high-shine, glossy finish. It had sheer coverage, as expected, that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. Any visible unevenness is really due to the natural unevenness of my lip color. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and spreadable without being tacky, and the plusher feel made it comfortable to wear. This shade lasted well for three hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

In the Buff
Bobbi Brown In the Buff Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a medium, pink-coral with a high-shine, glossy finish. It had semi-sheer coverage that applied evenly across my lips, though there was a touch of product that settled into my deeper lip lines–not enough to be noticeable in person but visible in the close-up photos. The texture was smooth, plush, and gel-like but creamy enough to be easy to apply and keep in place despite it not being tacky. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Even though I know that I’d have to wear lip liner under it to smooth out my own uneven lip color, I really love the look of Forever Chill! It seems to be worth that little extra effort!
A lovely set of shades and they look versatile and flattering to most skintones. Forever Chill is that little bit different and is beautiful.
