Road Test

I’ve had a love affair with lip gloss for years, particularly as it has many benefits for those of us who are not blessed with naturally fuller lips. Lip gloss reflects light and can make lips appear fuller than they actually are, so if you're looking for a little more volume as well as shine it will get you there. Also, and this one is especially for travellers, if you opt to wear a light or more natural coloured product, lip gloss can make the transition from day wear to night wear easily so you don’t have to pack too many products in your cosmetic bag while travelling. But as I’ve learned the hard way, not all lip glosses are equal. Besides smelling and tasting bad, and being overly heavy or sticky, some lip glosses can be a bit drying for your pout in the long run. As a learned beauty lover once told me, if you are addicted to lip gloss it’s always better to go for quality over price, and this is where this new offering from icon Bobbi Brown comes makes a dramatic entrance. Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil-Infused Lip Gloss offers many benefits to lip gloss lovers, including an oil-infused formula which makes the gloss feel plush on your lips as well as gliding on super-smoothly. The formula is a luxurious blend of nutrient-rich botanicals, including coffee seed and kukui nut oils, which not only nourish and soften your lips but also drench them in plumping moisture. The gloss finishes your lips with a glass-like shine, and there’s a range of ultra-flattering colours to choose from from nudes to brights, designed to enhance the natural look of your lips as well a suit your mood. There are 12 ongoing shades, as well as three limited-edition ones created by Bobbi Brown brand ambassador, Yara Shahidi. From the ongoing range I particularly loved In The Buff, which is ideal for day and night wear, Force Of Nature which is a little richer in colour, and Freestyle, which is an even more vibrant pink without being too full on. And from the limited edition range, Spring Bliss is a great choice, a lovely pink gloss which will work on all skin tones.

Insider Tips

• Applying any lip gloss to dry or chapped lips can cause the colour to cling to dry patches and make the gloss look uneven, so if need be moisturise before applying.
