Bare Pink
Bobbi Brown Bare Pink Luxe Lip Color ($37.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium peach with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good pigmentation, though it was shy of truly full coverage, that applied evenly but had a fair amount of slip. The added slip made it prone to slipping into my lip lines and made my lips appear more textured overall. This shade lasted for three and a half hours, but it was quite moisturizing at least.

Formula Overview
$37.00/0.13 oz. - $284.62 Per Ounce
Best Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color is supposed to have one-stroke color coverage with a hydrating, smoothing formula, and “nourishing shine.” I was impressed with the formula as a whole, as the majority of the shades were very pigmented in one pass with a creamy consistency that glided on easily. There’s a richness to the texture that does feel more “luxe” in a way.
The natural-to-luminous shine level gives lips a smoother, plumper look, while the formula itself is hydrating and many shades are longer-wearing. I noticed that the lighter shades tended to perform more poorly relative to more light-medium to medium-dark-hued shades. There was a faint floral scent (that was a surprise, I wish they had gone the unscented!), but I didn’t have issues with taste and found it very subtle on (it’s no Dior/Chanel-level scent!).
In general, I like Bobbi Brown’s lipstick formulas, and this one feels creamier and more hydrating than others, but for pigmentation, you can’t go wrong with this or the Rich Lip Color formula.

Desert Rose
Bobbi Brown Desert Rose Luxe Lip Color ($37.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, and the color applied evenly across the lips and never tugged. The consistency was lightweight, creamy with some slip, but it adhered well to the lips and stayed on nicely for four and a half hours. The formula felt hydrating over time.

Uber Pink
Bobbi Brown Uber Pink Luxe Lip Color ($37.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a bright, medium pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth, moderately creamy, and a little thinner, which made it appear less smoothing on my lips than many of the other shades in the formula. There was subtle color that had pulled into my lip lines, though I didn’t detect that from a normal distance. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for four and a half hours, and the formula felt moisturizing while worn.

Ingredients
Very pretty pinky lipsticks.
Desert Rose is very beautiful, but I have similar shades, so I’ll restrain myself.
It’s weird, Desert Rose should have worked well on me — I have a lot of the dupes — but it was just so-so, and I wound up returning it.
Uber Pink looks like the most *perfect* pinky-nude shade for my skintone! Just enough color to it to keep it from appearing dull. Maybe once I use up some of my current nudey shades, like; UD Liar, Mac Marque and Nicki’s Nude, then I may just. I have got to say; I almost submitted one of the possible dupes shown, because in the side-by-side, they look super close: MAC Créme In Your Coffee!
