Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss Review, Swatches
Bobbi Brown is one among most raved about brands in blogosphere but Bobbi Brown store still hasn't come to Chennai :( .I have seen several Bobbi Brown counters in Hongkong and I feel rather guilty that I was too ignorant then & did not bother to even have a glance of what it offered.
The Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Ruby Sugar was gifted to me by my friend.The fact that I own this makes me so excited & what next - sat down to write my experiences with it.I have been using it everyday since I got it & I am in love with the shade.

The lipgloss comes in a very classy rectangular tube where the shade is visible & it has the perfect doe foot applicator of the right size.The entire lip gloss is very compact and it has the text Bobbi Brown printed on one side of the tube and lip gloss printed on the other side of the tube. The shade name is printed at the bottom.
Rating : 5/5

Shade & texture of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Lip Gloss in Ruby Sugar :
The shade caught my attention the minute I opened the outer carton, such a pretty maroon shade.I have a weakness for jewel tones products be it an eyeshadow or lip color. It has a lot of golden shimmer particles which ends up making the gloss a sheer one. I had a lot of expectations in terms of pigmentation since it was a dark color but it appears sheer on my lips because of the excessive shimmer in it(Fine I know, thats what the company claims as well-Shimmer Lip Gloss )If only the pigmentation was better, it will look perfect even without a lipstick underneath. The texture of the product is slightlysticky unlike what it claims but it does hydrate the lips. My lips feel soft even after the lip gloss has completely faded away.

Rating : 4/5 (Cons : Too sheer & slightly sticky formula)
Staying Power of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Lipgloss :
My 2 coats of application of this gloss stays for 2 hours & wears off slowly .It vanishes completely leaving no trace of its existence mere minutes ago.. It survived a glass of milk, but not my lunch..It does not settle into fine lines or expose my dry lips. It makes my lips feel hydrated & softer after application
Rating : 4/5 ( Cons : Staying power is less)
Price : USD 25 from BobbiBrown website
Will I repurchase ? I would love to try other shades from the range.
