brown – Karissa Talks Beauty

Hello friends!

As you read in my Year of Lipsticks post, I’m making it a goal of mine this year to test as many lip products as I can! I’ve had this lipstick for about a year now and have always admired it, but never tried it out.

Color: Bobbi Brown’s Brocade is described as a “bright purple plum” on the Sephora website. I would describe it as a bright warm purple with a reddish magenta undertone.

Packaging: First off, the packaging is so stunning and it looks expensive. It’s a beautiful gold with black accents, and has an insignia on the top of the lid. It’s feels heavy, and looks like it would be worth the $37 price tag from the packaging alone.

Hello friends!

One brand that comes to mind as the pioneer of the matte liquid lipstick trend is Anastasia Beverly Hills! Way back in the day when liquid lipsticks were just becoming a thing, this was one of the original formulas you could find. Today I wanted to share with you whether I feel like they’ve stood the test of time, or have fallen flat compared to other formulas!

Color: Ashton is described as a “midtone yellow-brown”. While I find this color really pretty, if you don’t love browns you probably want to skip on this and go for a different color instead. The yellow undertone might be something that doesn’t work well with other skin tones, so this is definitely a color I’d suggest swatching first!

Packaging: I love how sleek the packaging looks! The silver tube has ABH’s symbol on the top in black, so it matches the tube and makes it easy to identify among other liquid lipsticks. I also really enjoy the gold detailing on the top of the tube as well!
