Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color SPF 12 Sneak Peek

For spring, Bobbi Brown is putting out a new lip color formula called Rich Lip Color ($22.00 for 0.13 oz.) with twelve shades in the range. The formula is designed to feel lightweight, yield lots and lots of color, with a creamy and emollient texture to moisturize and condition lips–plus it has SPF 12. I will be testing these out over the next week or so and working through lip swatches, but I thought I’d give you this swatch post for now. There are a few shades missing (Cosmic Raspberry and Crimson), but the majority of the shade range is here. 🙂

I have not tested these at all yet, so please hold questions until I have had a chance to do so–thank you!  I will be sure to do my usual detail review as soon as I’ve finished testing these.

Check out photos & swatches!

Can’t wait for your opinion, Christine! These lipsticks look awesome!

Oh god, does it bother anyone else that the bullets don’t match when they’re twisted all the way up???

… no? Just me? Oh, crap

Anyway I want at least 5 of those. Maybe even 6

Guava and sweet nectar are very pretty, though they look so similar on my computer. Can’t wait to check these out! They kind of remind me of Toxic Tale from VV (again the screen might be changing up the colors so I couldn’t say for sure) but I hope they’re good enough dupes! I missed out on VV last year 🙂

Oh my but these look tempting. I’m going to have to check out Bare Pink and Bikini Pink. Thanks for the glimpse, I was curious about the colors. Can’t wait for the review!

Very lovely. So far I’m liking the swatches for Guava, Old Hollywood, Sweet Nectar, Plum Rose, Rose Blossom, and Heather Pink. Can’t wait to read your review on the wear and survivability on the Temptalia Product Obstacle course. 😀

These are pretty, but Guava looks almost identical to Sweet Nectar and Plum Rose looks almost identical to Rose Blossom. They also seem rather summery for a spring collection. However, I think these have almost twice as much product as the Lip Shines for the same price. I look forward to your review.

Wow, they all look LOVELY.

I like Sweet Nectar and Heather Pink the most – Plum Rose and Rose Blossom look really similar but still, incredibly pretty. All very wearable shades!

Steph Avatar

Wow, these are brighter than I’d expect from Bobbi Brown! I think Guava, Sweet Nectar, and Soft Coral are my favourites from the swatches… can’t wait to see the full review though! : )

Judging from the Bobbi Brown website, it sounds to me as if the Bobbi Brown company is copying MAC’s formula for these Rich Lip Colors as thy’re supposed to be lightweight, comfortable, tasteless, and unscented.

Hi Christine, congratulations for your swatches again, they are great !
As I am in France, your swatches are very helpful to choose my colors before ordering from Galeries Layette Dpt store or the BB shop in Paris (located in “rue des Francs Bourgeois”), no store in my city of Montpellier (south of France).
Am I wrong if I say that Plum rose color seems close to Rose Blossom (CF your swatches) and Guava shade seems close to Sweet Nectar ? I have watched the video about some colors, on You Tube, from BB and I am little confused now. Please help with some explanations and comments ! THanks a lot !
PS : All Holidays 2010 palettes I ordered in France after seeing your swatches/comments are great ! thank you again !

I love that all these colors have SPF. (That’s more important to me than they used to be.)

Also, beautiful colors. Looking forward to coverage about the wear.
