Bobbi Brown In a Jam, Bitter Sweet, Cool Beets Crushed Liquid Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
In a Jam
Bobbi Brown In a Jam Crushed Liquid Lipstick is a muted, darker pink with moderate, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered well to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines.
There was a touch of streaking along the outer edge of my lips, though I didn’t notice it in person (just in the photo). The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and spreadable, so it felt more gel-like than a true cream finish. It lasted well for five hours and was moisturizing over time.
Bitter Sweet
Bobbi Brown Bitter Sweet Crushed Liquid Lipstick is a medium-dark, rosy plum with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which spread evenly across my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines–it smoothed out most of them, actually.
The consistency was lightweight, more like a cream-gel hybrid as it had substance but felt plush and cushion-y on. It wore well for five and a half hours and was hydrating over time.
Cool Beets
Bobbi Brown Cool Beets Crushed Liquid Lipstick is a deep, reddened burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy, jelly-like finish. It lacked the opacity of a lot of the other shades, so the translucency gave it more of a jelly-like finish than a cream on; more of a watercolor or stained effect with a heavy dose of glossy shine.
This one worked better gently blotted (so it looked more like a lip stain) or applied over a lip liner, as the medium to semi-opaque coverage didn’t go on as evenly and had a tendency to sit in my lip lines noticeably. The color stayed on well for over six hours and was moisturizing to wear.
