Ms. Brown Has Done It Again!
Last weekend I went shopping for the first time in a long time, and picked up the new Tinted Lip Balm in Brown by Bobbi Brown.
That woman is a sheer genius. Hahaha - sheer. Get it? Get it?
(See, this is why I did not pursue a career in comedy. Ah well.)
Anyway, this product is fantastic - hydrating with just a hint of color. I’ve noticed that some of the other tinted lip balm products out there tend to moisturize initially, but then end up drying out my lips afterwards. No such thing here. I’m sure it’s going to become a trusted purse staple.
Also, while I was at the Bobbi counter, I sniffed some of the products from her new Beach line. (You know, the stuff that’s supposed to be reminiscent of the beach and Coppertone.) I give it an “eh.” The scent wasn’t horrible, but it didn’t wow me. The nostalgic Coppertone scent was there, but it was a bit too faint for my tastes. I guess I was expecting something with more oomph. Instead, it felt like a sadly retreating wave on the, well, beach.

I think the fact that she is a real makeup artist gives her products the edge. I remember how she first started with just a small line of brown based lipstick colors (hard to find at the time). She really knows what woman need. And deserves her success. “Sheer genius” you are correct! ha ha…
