Bobbi Brown Big Apple & Cherry Crush Crushed Liquid Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Big Apple
Bobbi Brown Big Apple Crushed Liquid Lipstick ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. The texture was lightweight, spreadable, and felt like a gel-cream hybrid–substantial but not heavy or too slippery. It smoothed out some of my lip lines, too. It lasted nicely for six hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$27.00/0.2 oz. - $135.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to offer "bold, glossy color with [a] balm feel." The majority of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque coverage with a glossy, more jelly-like finish--plusher, shinier than a cream one--and live up to most of the formula's claims. It has the look of a liquid lipstick-meets-lipgloss with the coverage and finish. They're very comfortable to wear as they feel like a plusher gel, which gives them great spreadability but prevents them from getting into lip lines or emphasizing lip texture. They also have longer-wear--often pushing well over six hours--and feel nourishing over time.

Cherry Crush
Bobbi Brown Cherry Crush Crushed Liquid Lipstick ($27.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The texture was flattering–it smoothed out a lot of my lip lines and made my lips look plumper from the shine–and comfortable to apply and spread out for an even result. It had semi-opaque color payoff in one layer, which could be built up to full coverage with a second layer but was most comfortable and foolproof to apply with just a single layer. This shade stayed on well for six hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Cherry Crush is splendid and so rich looking! Not that I need even one more red lipstick, though….but boy if I did, this would be it! ?
This looks like a very nice formula. I like that it’s smoothing, glossy, comfortable AND it’s relatively long lasting, something not usually found in this type of finish.
On me it slipped and slided everywhere :/ It got on my teeth while most glosses don t do that either 🙁
