When Bobbi Brown stepped down from her self-named brand at the start of the year, I did a little whimper to myself. I've met her a couple of times over the years and she's one of the most warm-hearted and inspirational women I've ever come across, all packaged up in a miniature frame that you just know has made her even more determined to get out there and prove her worth. Considering she committed over two decades of her life to the brand, it was a real shame (and a bit of a shock) to see her depart - but with a new chapter brings new possibilities. I was incredibly intrigued to see what would happen to the Bobbi Brown range during this new phase of life, and if the newest launch is anything to go by it's set only to get bigger and better. The new Crushed Lip Colour is undoubtedly the best thing I've seen from the brand in a long time!
Available in twenty shades that take you from the most understated nudes to the most powerful reds, berries and corals, this is a collection that's sure to appeal to every age of lipstick wearer. The texture is like a semi-sheer balm, providing great colour with a touch of subtle shine that leaves lips looking full and healthy; I thought these would be matte from the bullet, but when they apply the result is a lot more modern and wearable - almost like a lipstick has been airbrushed on to your pout. Thanks to the inclusion of beeswax, plus Vitamins E and C, the lipsticks apply beautifully and are incredibly comfortable; there's no problem ...
