These lipsticks are $22 each with a lightweight cream texture. They are full coverage like her regular lipsticks but glide on easier & smoother with a moisturizing feel. They’re described perfectly on BobbiBrownCosmetics.com, “Lightweight, yet intense, Bobbi’s latest formula combines pigments with a clear base to deliver pure, crisp color with just one swipe.” There’s a slight sunscreen scent when you first apply it on the lips but it fades. I tested Lilac this afternoon and it had excellent lasting power without any liner. The finish is semi-matte and the packaging is semi-matte with a glossy black middle. I love her packaging of individual items because they are great size for the price, conveniently packaged with sleek and simple classic designs. As much as I appreciate her palettes, I really love her individual items more.
The colors I ended up with for myself:
- Bare Pink is a beige nude with slight pinkish tones
- Heather Pink is a medium nude brown-pink
- Lilac is a cool pink
A few reviews I found very helpful:
- Karlasugar has all the shades lined up swatched on paper
- Temptalia has great lip swatches
- Makeup Magpie shows us Plum Rose & Bikini Pink
- Makeup and Beauty Blog always so fun to read
I love your pics and your blog. Do you know if the eyeshadow in the Purchase with purchase palette are available in the permanent line? Those lipsticks look very nice too.
By the way also love you brushes post too. Which is your favorite TM eye brush?:) thanks again. can't wait for the next update

Great review as always! I'm really keen on Heather Pink — will have to check it out.Hopefully it's available here in Toronto now. We are always behind by a few weeks!

Great review as usual:) I am wondering how heather rose would compare to regular BB lip color like brown or brownie . certainly it's the one the most flattering on your lips.
Thanks again Honor.

These shades all look so lovely on you. I am eagerly planning a trip to the BB counter next weekend to try some shades on. I too prefer her single items (new eye shadows, please?) to the palettes.

The bare pink shade looks great on you!
