Bobbi Brown Extra Plump Lip Serum ($38) has arrived in tinted colors and the formula is exceptionally good. They originally launched a clear version Bare Pink which is a milky pink in the tube but goes on clear. There are now tinted options that are very sheer and offer a barely there color wash.

Extra Plump Lip Serums are smooth, non-sticky balms in a magic form. They have a sponge tip applicator and once applied you feel almost instant hydration and relief from any dryness.

They are described as full-bodied, but there is no spin or plug. I don’t really think they’re that full, but more enhancing. I would compare the performance to the Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Baths for the plumping effect (the Bobbi Brown ones are much more sheer in color and thinner/smoother).

I already splurged on 3 shades last month when they launched in Bare Blossom, Bare Rose and Bare Peach. The Bobbi Brown team sent a fun PR pack with all the shades so I’ve been trying them out today.

• Bare Blossom is a pure milky pink
• Bare Rose is a medium soft pink (one of my favorites)
• Just Peach is a pure peach
• Bare Lilac is a milky pale purple
• Bare Cocoa is a pure, soft caramel brown
• Just Raspberry is a pure red
• Bare Plum is a pure plum red
• Bare Pink is a milky pink that is clear

I tried all of these on the lips of my wheels. I’ve swatched my favorites on the lips in the photos below.

I’d say Bare Rose is my first choice, followed by Bare Peach and then Bare Raspberry. They are all incredibly sheer and I wish the pigment level was at least 50% higher but I think the formula is really good and they will be great for touch ups throughout the day when you need a boost of moisture to the lips.

Also carries:

Including JUST ROSE

Overall love but I don’t think you need more than one color as they are so clear. I actually prefer the pigment level of the Crushed Oil-Infused Lip Gloss better and wish they had expanded the shade line instead of launching tinted versions of the Extra Plump Lip Balms, but both are very good.

Available now at Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Nordstrom, Bobbi Brown and Selfridges (they have more shades in the UK).
