Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lipstick Collection - We love!

At Glam Obsessions, we have a love/hate relationship with matte lipstick: it's hard to spread and clean, it smudges easily, and by the time you're done applying it, you wish you had just skipped the lipstick in the first place. But at the same time, matte colors add so much drama to your make up because of their richer stain, and their color lasts for hours on your lips - how can we say no to that?

Thanks to Bobbi Brown, we can now benefit from the advantages of matte lipstick without stressing about applying it. The lipsticks in her recently launched Creamy Matte Collection, consisting of 12 pink-beige shades, have a unique rich yet creamy texture: the creaminess allows you to apply the lipstick easily, but thanks to the richness of the shade, you end up enjoying a very luxe and long-lasting stain on your lips. The lipsticks are made with Shea butter, which give the sticks their creamy texture, while moisturizing your lips.
To test out this collection, our team tried the Tawny Pink lipstick, a beautiful light plum (pink-mauve) shade. Our tester tried applying it both with and without lip balm, and in both cases, the stick glid onto her lips, and she cleaned out any smudges easily, thanks to the creamy texture of the lipstick. After application, the color looked rich and slightly glossy, and the lips were full and moist: perfect results! The shade lasted approximately two hours. 

If you're a fan of matte lipstick (or any lipstick, for that matter, which you probably are!) we definitely recommend this collection; you won't regret it! We personally can't wait to try another shade very soon (Pink Lily, perhaps?). Rating: 9/10

Each lipstick is priced at AED 140 ($38), and the collection is available at all Bobbi Brown shops across the UAE.
