Bobbi Brown Hibiscus Luxe Lip Color
Bobbi Brown Hibiscus Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 013 oz.) is described as a “plum wine.” It’s a muted, medium-dark warm plum with hints of rose and a satiny sheen. It had good pigmentation, and you can just barely see my lip freckle peeking through. The texture is light-medium in weight–not heavy but it is heavier than Russian Doll. The color went on evenly and smoothly, and it lasted for five hours on me with a lightly hydrating formula. ColourPop Ghosted (DC, $10.00) is warmer (95% similar).

FORMULA SUMMARY | Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) 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.

You have Russian Red in the title instead of Russian Doll. 😛
Fixed! Sorry about that!
Loving both of course. But, Russian Doll is gorgeous!
It is a pretty one!
Russian Red is gorgeous..but wish it ran a bit more opaque.
Totally understand!
Hibiscus looks so pretty! There’s another one to add to the list.
Yay! 😀
Hibiscus is calling to me. Your Anastasia Self-made look is gorgeous!!!
Thanks, Tammy!
Please share what colors from the Self Made palette?
I don’t remember, unfortunately, I didn’t write down the specific shades, but I think it was pretty much all but the brights in the palette!
I like Hisbiscus on you
Thanks, Katherine!
That red really does remind me quite a lot of my MAC Maria Moretti lipstick that I have been using sparingly because I didn’t have a backup, but Russian Doll seems to fill that niche.
Both shades look so lush and luxe on you! Time for me to try a few Bobbi Brown lippys on before the VIB sale to see what one I may buy.
Nice to have a dupe available, should you ever finish Maria Moretti!
Maybe by the time I hit 60? LoL! Not many of mine have gotten totally used up!?
Hibiscus is beautiful! Am I the only one seeing that there are no dupes listed too?
They should be showing now!
Hibiscus is such a lovely shade! I like that it’s a little bit of everything. It’s a bit pinkish, a bit plummy, a bit rosy, very pretty.
It is!
Any dupes for Hibiscus? It’s gorgeous!
They should be showing now!
These look super moisturizing!
They are!
These are both beautiful. Are there no dupes for Hibiscus, then?
I don’t know why they aren’t showing up, but they are now!
Isn’t NARS Vivien a 99% dupe?
I see them now. Thanks, Christine.
Love the Russian Doll lipstick – it is great on you, but I think I love the YSL one better.
I figured you’d like the Black Red better!
Looked at Hibiscus at Sephora but didn’t test it–is it anything like Lancome pink sapphire?
I don’t think I have that shade!
Those are both really nice. I like the red but it seems to pull warmer on than in the tube, I’d have to swatch it.
Let me know what you think if you swatch it, Erin!
I love Hibiscus! They both look good on you.
Thank you, Valerie!
Lovely on you but I would do better with the blue red with my coloring. Have read much good about Bobbie Brown products over all.
Thanks, Susan! 🙂
I’m not even a big red lip fan but Russian Doll is so pretty! I love the sheen and how bright it is.
The finish on the line is lovely!
Both of these are beautiful. Russian Red is probably the favourite, but I would like to own both.
They’re both nice!
what eye shadows are you using? beautiful!

Hibiscus is my kinda pink! I like the slight translucency of Russian Doll, too – don’t see that much in a vivid red shade.
It has an almost stained look to it, but obviously very pigmented still.
