Since discovering liquid lipsticks, I find myself no longer gravitating towards standard lipsticks like I used to. I've tried them all - from higher end brands such as Kat Von D, Stila, Anastasia and Tarte, to drug store brands such as NYX, L'Oreal, and Revlon. Lipsticks with a matte finish tend to dry out the lips, but Smashbox is among the few that won't make your lips look like you've been parched in a desert for a week.
WHY I LOVE IT
- The tip applicator makes it easy (and fun) to line and apply the lipstick
- You only need one coat due to how pigmented and creamy the formula is
- It won't smudge, budge or feather when you're drinking or eating
- It lasts up to eight hours
- When re-applying throughout the day, it doesn't make your lips look like a butthole
- Offers a wide range of shades to choose from
Left to right: Bawse, Thrill Seeker, Baja Bound, Babe Alert, Driver's Seat, In Demand, Stepping Out, Chill Zone
CHILL ZONE - A deep, cool grey that's bound to send chills down your ex' spine
IN DEMAND - A neutral, pink nude that's great for the everyday pout
THRILL SEEKER - A bright red orange that's guaranteed to take attention off that unwanted pimple on the middle of your forehead
BABE ALERT - A nude rose that's giving MLBB (my-lips-but-better) a run for her money
BAWSE - A deep, cool red by YouTube megastar Lilly Singh (iisuperwomanii) that's sure to make you feel like a bawse
STEPPING OUT - A deep nude that pays homage to the 90s
BAJA BOUND - A pink coral that reminds me of Ariel the little mermaid
DRIVER'S SEAT - The result of Stepping Out's and Baja Bound's one night stand
