Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Soft Rose 23 Review, Swatch and Photos

I purchased this on a whim from Sephora and surprisingly this shade is so close to Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in 05 Mademoiselle..just slightly more pink. Its sort of strange that I am more gravitated towards pinky nudes, even though I was always a pink/coral lip girl...always thought that nudes were sort of boring and demanded more work on eyes..

Anyways, so I swatched this on my wrist in store and was so happy to see the rich, smooth texture, however, I just ended up returning this lipstick back to store.

SWATCH

I have been a fan of Rich Color Lipsticks by Bobbi Brown (click for review) and I currently own two from that line and love them, so  I somehow believed that the Bobbi Brown Lip Color, would be the same too. And I was not wrong. Its very pigmented, opaque on a single swipe, long wearing and all those nice things, you want from your lipstick...however...it stinks!

It had such a strange oily, waxy smell that I could not tolerate. That's one of the reason why there is no lip swatch because I did not want to torture myself a final time for a lip swatch.

The first time I wore it was when I was going to a dinner and noticed an unusual scent but then I had my Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume on, which masked it. I had food and then checked myself in the mirror and the lipstick had not budged. "Perfecto" I thought.

Then I applied it again, the next day and the scent was soo strong, that I could not bear it and took it off - took a whiff of the lipstick and it was stinky. A gorgeous $30 lipstick from Bobbi Brown was unbearably stinky.

Had to take it back to Sephora. Thanks to their awesome return policy. I was disappointed that I did not even try any other piece, not even to check, if it was only my lipstick that was stinky. Anyways, I am totally staying away from this formula. Love the "Bobbi Brown Rich Color" lipstick but not the "Bobbi Brown Lip Color" ones.

Hope you found this review helpful.
