Product Of The Month

Hi everybody !
It is the 1st of August !!!!!!!!


WARNING: I go on a little ramble so feel free to skip the orange parts and go straight to the core of the blog post if you would like to

I would assume that to many people, choosing ONE product to feature as your most favourite product comes very easy and naturally (at least that is what I thought it would be like) as, like me, I wear a full face of make up a good 28 out of 30 days. However, when actually having to share your "most favourite" product on the Internet, there is a thought process behind it that even I myself, never considered before starting the Product Of The Month blog series. Some of the factors that I do take into consideration are the price range of the products, the time when the products are released, I try to have a wide range of brands and I also like to make sure that they actually catch the attention of my audience, in this case, you guys as readers. As far as research is concerned, it may take up to about 3 or 4 days, and sometimes it takes a few hours to collect all the information that I need, depending on my level of distraction at the time. In some cases, I have to really think about how I phrase my words to put on my blog and that takes a good while but other times I can be done with a blog post in just a day. To clarify, I actually do love doing these blog posts and I am by no means complaining at all.

*I am sorry I went on a little ramble as it is past midnight as I am writing this, just a disclaimer, this is not me complaining, I do these blog posts because I actually want to do them and not because I am made to do them. I just thought I would let you in on my thought process and just a little inside on what I think about when choosing my Product Of The Month.

If you read my blog, you would probably realise that I delay my Product Of The Month blog posts quite a lot. This is because I either am lost choosing the best, or my most favourite product for that month or because it completely slips my mind that I do have a blog post to work on, or I am just swamped with work. However, this month I was really focused on sharing this particular product with you guys. I don't think I have ever featured or shared much about lip products on my blog, which is why this blog post is about the Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Colour. I think I spend a big chunk of time and money on mainly eye products and I must say that as of now, the eye products section of my makeup collection is by far the biggest compared to things like my blushers, bronzers or face products. Even though I am 100% sure I am an eye-makeup junky, I do love my lipsticks and lip crayons and lip liners as well. I just do not seem to rave about them as much as compared to eye shadow palettes and liquid liners.




The thing about these lipsticks that really intrigued me is the quality of the formula. I know that Bobbi Brown is not the most affordable brand of makeup out there but if you are looking for a really good quality lipstick then I definitely recommend these ones as they are very long lasting, perfectly creamy, hence the name Creamy Lip Colour and you can choose from a good range of 13 nudes, pinks and and corals which is perfect for the summer. My suggestion would be to pick up one of these in a shade that you really love first, and then buy more as you go instead of purchasing 5 or 6 in one go, just so we save ourselves from a heart attack later when we receive our bank balance. 

"Creamy Lip Colour combines rich colour with comfortable, long-lasting wear and a soft, creamy shine. with emollient shea butter and plant-derived skin conditioners, this amazing formula glides on smooth, wears all day, and leaves lips soft and moisturised." - Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Colour
  • Blue Raspberry- a blue raspberry pink
  • Coral Pink- a bright warm pink
  • Hibiscus - a bright candy pink
  • Honeysuckle- a yellow beige
  • Italian Rose- a medium rose
  • Nectar- a soft peach shimmer
  • Pale Mauve- a sheer pink mauve
  • Pale Petal- a medium tone blue pink
  • Raisin Berry- a brown red
  • Rose Petal- a neutral rose shimmer
  • Tiger Lily- a shimmering medium tone coral
  • Uber Pink- a medium true pink
  • Washed Seashell- a shimmering nude pink















Personally, my favourite shade for the summer specifically is Washed Seashell. I think it is perfect for everyday in summer and really just a wearable shade for any occasion. I also really love Raisin Berry, which is a little on the darker side so I tend to wear that more in the evening or on nights out. I got my Bobbi Brown lipsticks from Selfridges at the price of £19.50 but you can get them online as well if that is more convenient. Bobbi Brown also does a Sheer Lip Colour range which I love as well so check that out if you are interested. 

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post and let me know if you would like me to do another blog post on the Sheer Lip Colour as I am planning on trying a few more shades from that range. As this blog post is being uploaded, I am currently on holiday so if you would like to know what beauty products I have brought with me on holiday whether it be makeup, brushes, skincare, body care or hair care then do let me know in the comments or you can always contact me through my other social media sites which I will list below. I am also currently in the middle of another blog series called Summer Simplicity, which I upload every Thursday and so far I have done 4 parts so if you have not done so then check that out, I will link those below as well. Last month, I featured the Soap & Glory Supercat Carbon Black Eyeliner Pen as my Product Of The Month for June so again I will link that below and I would love to know your favourite product(s) for July/the summer, do feel free to share that in the comments. Have a great day! Xx
