Ooh – Bobbi Brown Glams up Lip Balm

bobbi brown

It’s now a firm handbag/coat pocket staple as we wind our way towards December, and leave it to Bobbi Brown to add a touch of subtle glam to this essential item. Lip balm is the item under discussion, and her new Glitter offerings, €21.50 each, are lovely-looking.

Pearl and glitter pigments for light reflection and are found in Crystal diamond, a hint-of-a-tint balm that’s mostly clear, with pink sparkles. Pink Crystal is a soft petal shade and Copper Diamond is a stronger, shimmery brown. Yum.

On counter now, you’ll find them at Brown Thomas and House of Fraser, Dundrum.

    these look nice. i must say i’m very experimentative with my eyes but stick to the same old same old with my lips! are these shiny like lip gloss or matte?

  • Admin says:

    oh shiny – pearl and glitter would ensure it!

  • MontyC says:

    The pink crystal one is really lovely.

  • Admin says:

    perfect stocking filler too, get hinting!

  • Olaola says:

    Ooh, the pink one looks lovely…

  • laineyg says:

    They look lovely, but €21.50 for lip balm? Even with glitter? You’ve got to be kidding me…

  • baby in a corner says:

    ah thats not that pricey. compared to creme de la mer lip balm anyway!
    i have been hinting already about the mac brush sets, i feel so guilty though…!

  • Hayden says:

    Im with you Laineyg. A little pricey…

  • Diz says:

    Nice, as are all the BB cosmetics, but at €21.50, very pricey indeed. I am not in the habit of getting creme de la mer products either :-)

    I bought a lovely BB palette of shadows, lipstick and balm from the Cosmetics store in the US last year. For comparison, it was €35 for the lot, and very good it is too.

    i think i have an inflated amount that i’ll pay for cosmetics above anything else! i only get high street clothes (and lots of purchases in penneys at that!) but its ‘designer’ cosmetics all the way!

    Am I the only one who thinks the make up on yer wan looks ganky? Looks like she’s ready to head onto the set of Eastenders I think! Too much makeup, and WAY too much airbrushing.

  • Babaduck says:

    My nail polish is the colour of her top (the sleeve area)

  • Flame says:

    Tina10 that’s the first thing I thought, don’t like yer wan’s makeup at all!! Eyeshadow too heavy/dark, cheeks too orange and the lips look a bit dead or something!

  • MontyC says:

    Gals, she’s ‘the face’ for BB’s new cooper diamond collection!

  • Glitterkitty says:

    apologies.. but nothing about bobbi brown will ever be ‘glam’ to me..
    it has to be the most bleugh, meh range ever
    grand if you want a brown eyeshadow or 8 or a nude lipstick :roll:

  • becks says:

    I thought the same about her make up – way too mocu.

    I do like the colour of her lips though. Sorry Glitter for being McBleugh.

  • Admin says:

    glitter – d’you know what though, I am probably the absolute last person you’d expect to like BB, because I’m really into colour and experimenting, but I just adore her stuff. I use stonewashed nudes and another custom palette on a daily basis; I’m never without her brushes and I would live and die by her creamy concealer. Massive, huge fan I am – the stuff is just excellent.

  • Glitterkitty says:

    oh i’m not questioning the quality, admin – i just have a big problem w ‘brown’ make up
    a number of years back, a make up artist used brown based colours on my eyes [kind of chestnutty, muck colours] and then used a brown, not nude lippy

    i hated this! hated it! i had to argue every time w her afterwards saying that i know ‘brown’ isn’t what i want to wear
    for months she’d :roll: and was a right ol’ bee about it

    a while back, cleopatra booked a makeover w BB
    she started off by saying, ‘jazzy.. i want bright jazzy colours’
    now, when i heard that i asked why cleo had booked a BB makeover if she wanted ‘jazzy’
    and the MUA just went thro every boring eye colour, to which cleo’s reply was ‘no, do you not have anything bright? colourful?’

    i walked off as couldn’t understand why she’d booked BB in first place if she wanted colour…

    Tis expensive for a lipbalm! Considering you need to reaply lip balm so often.
    Maybe if I wanted to buy meyself a treat after…say.. exams or something…
