Preview: Bobbi Brown Wild Rasberry Lip Crayon




Today was the unofficial first day of spring in New York; the weather was simply gorgeous! It was a perfect day to dress up and create a fresh spring face. I decided to play around with Bobbi Brown's Lip Crayon in Wild Rasberry (from an upcoming collection later in the year--I got my hands on a sample). It's different from the Quick-Time Lip Crayons out now and I simply adore the pinkish-coral (at least on me) color! It's a little different for me since I usually go with shiny lips.


Lip Pencils used to scream 'middle-aged wrinkled lips' to me, until I tried this. I absolutely love the texture--it's smooth and creamy! It didn't take me much time at all to apply it, either. I simply outlined my lips and then filled it in with the same crayon. My lips were a little flaky so I dabbed a clear lip gloss in the middle, to deter the attention away from the ugly state of my lips.



I was attending tabletop trade shows all day, so I needed a professional look with a little kick to it. I tried to go for a more natural look today with just a tad of pencil eyeliner instead of my usual thick, line of black liquid liner. I think my eyes look brighter and wider, which I like :)








Face:
MAC Select SPF 15 in NC 43
Dior Concealer in Medium Beige or 420
Laura Mercier Secret Brightener (my savior!!)
MAC Skinfinish in Medium Dark


Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC e/s in Paradisco (entire lid)
MAC e/s in A Little Folie (in crease)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero
Cargo Mascara


Cheeks:
MAC Sheerblush in Sunbasque


Lips:
Bobbi Brown Lip Crayon in Wild Rasberry (There isn't anything wild about it!)
MAC plushglazz in Nice Buzz (just a dab in the middle)


(Thinking about whether I should wear flats or heels, I had a lot of walking to do)

(Realizing the chain broke on my favorite knee-length boots. Shucks!)


I'm on the hunt for a good tinted moisturizer that gives me enough coverage at the same time. Any suggestions?

I love how you combined eyes and lips. I can´t wait to try the new lip crayons! Hope they aren´t drying...
I loved Shiseido´s tinted moisturizer, if you are still looking for one. :)

Thanks for stopping by, Mrs. Diaz!

Thanks Eru! No, the lip crayons are not drying at all and my lips get dry fast. I highly recommend them!
