Bobbi Brown Wild Rose Rich Lip Color ($23.00 for 0.13 oz.) is described as a “raspberry pink.” It’s a lightened raspberry pink with a creamy finish (no shimmer) and opaque color coverage. Chanel Destinee is similar but a little darker, touch more red in it. MAC Deliciously Forbidden is deeper, darker. MAC Positively Dashing is darker, less bright. MAC Red Dwarf is much darker. Milani Sexy Rose is darker, redder, and frosted. Bobbi Brown Rose Blossom is darker. Bobbi Brown Plum Rose is darker and redder. The last two are similar, though.

I’m a huge fan of Bobbi Brown’s Rich Lip Color–the formula really resonated with me when it initially debuted. The formula is supposed to be long-wearing, moisturizing, and yield “pure, crisp color.” It’s a lightweight lipstick with rich, opaque color payoff. The look is creamy, but there’s not too much slip once applied yet it applies easily and glides over the lips for full color coverage in a single pass. While not all the formula’s shades wear as long, this deeper shade wore well for just over six hours and needed a reapplication after eight hours. My lips didn’t feel dry or parched at all after the eight hours I wore this shade. This lipstick is both scent- and taste-free, which is a nice touch.

Oh very pretty color, although I wish there would be a bit more dimension to it. Looks great on anyway and no tough up required before 8 hours of wear… wow, that’s definitely impressive!

Suggestion: Put Carmex on your lips, let it soak in for a bit, then blot (do not rub off, just blot). Then apply lipstick. I assure you that the more you use a bit of Carmex (let it soak in then blot), it might allow you to enjoy BB lipstick and any other that you’ve had your eye on.

For me, these DID have a taste/smell. A disgusting sunscreen scent. I bought Desert Rose and Lilac, and had to exchange them for something else after just a couple days!

I was just gonna say! Although Laura Mercier’s lipsticks kind of have a waxy smell/taste to it. Maybe I’m too sensitive to smell. But I seriously love colors like these, so pretty.

This is gorgeous! Do you think BB lipsticks feel as good and wear as well as Guerlain’s? I tried Guerlain Rouge Automatique after reading one of your reviews, and I LOVE it, but it’s so expensive!
