Bobbi Brown After Party, Rock & Red, Slow Jam Crushed Oil-Infused Glosses Reviews & Swatches
After Party
Bobbi Brown After Party Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a deep red with subtle, cool undertones and a high-shine, glossy finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage in a single layer, which could have applied more evenly, and it also settled into my lip lines slightly (enough to be noticeable in person), so it was one of the weaker-applying shades in the range. The consistency was still smooth, plush, and gel-like, so it wasn’t tacky and felt comfortable to wear. It lasted 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.

Rock and Red
Bobbi Brown Rock and Red Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark red with neutral-to-warm undertones and barely-there pearl paired with a high-shine, glossy finish. The gloss had a smooth, non-sticky consistency that was plush and more gel-like that spread fairly evenly over my lips with sheer to semi-sheer coverage, but it could have applied better. I also had some settling into my lip lines that I could see in person (not just in the close-up photos). It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing over time.

Slow Jam
Bobbi Brown Slow Jam Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a muted, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a high-shine, glossy finish. The consistency felt smooth, lightweight, and plush–like a cream-gel hybrid that wasn’t too emollient but was very comfortable to wear. It had sheer coverage that applied evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It stayed on nicely for three and a half hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Dang, but I wish After Party didn’t settle into lines! That is one stunning color, but not the best formula for it unfortunately.
Also digging Rock and Red for a soft red jelly-like shade. Reminds me of strawberry jam!
Rock and Red is a stunning shade.
