Discover your new beauty crush

Finding the perfect lipstick seems like a never-ending task, which is why we say ‘don’t bother!’. It’s far more fun to build a lipstick wardrobe - a collection of shades, finishes and textures - that you can dip in and out of depending on the occasion, what you’re wearing or even your mood. A life without choices would be dull.

This is especially true when packing for vacation. Don’t take just one lipstick, pack a few so that you have options for when you’re lounging around the pool, hitting the beach or enjoying a night out.

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color is a brilliant collection of lipsticks. Released in 2017 and expanded in 2018, Crushed now comes in 23 pigment-packed shades ranging from soft pinks and nudes like Sazan (the new shade by L.A. lifestyle blogger Sazan Hendrix) to popping corals like Molly Wow and Punch.

Rich in Vitamins E and C and beeswax, Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color glides on comfortably like a balm, leaving a satin finish that keeps lips hydrated and soft. One coat imparts lips with a healthy looking sheen while two, or even three, coats delivers a more intense colour. Unlike some lipsticks, that can dry out and feather as the day goes on, Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color behaves far better. Thanks to its skin-loving ingredients the formula will not dry out your lips, nor will it smudge or feather.

With 23 shades to choose from there is certainly a shade for every whim.

Here’s our guide to your perfect vacation shades:

1. Around the pool

‘Sunset’ is a vibrant, punchy coral that looks perfect with bare skin and no mascara.

2. After landing

‘Watermelon’ is a bright pink coral and will make you feel pulled-together even after a longhaul flight.

3. After dark

‘Blackberry’ is rich and juicy. It’s almost black but with a subtle shot of plum. Make this dramatic shade your go-to lipstick for an evening out.
