I have been a huge fan of lip gloss as long as I can remember, and while I have far more than any rational human needs– I tend to gravitate to the non-sticky, long-wearing glosses that are comfortable to wear. I have been meaning to try the Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Glosses since I have heard so many great things about them, and now I can add my voice to the chorus of voices who sings its praises.
The Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Gloss formula is non-sticky, comfortable on the lips, boasts the perfect amount of cushion, is long-wearing, and offers a breathtakingly beautiful glossy shine. It has a mild scent that resides somewhere between vanilla and Crème Brûlée, but it fades soon upon application.
According to Smashbox,
Saturated shades of gloss with mirror-smooth shine that's never sticky. Inspired by photo gels found on set, this gloss starts with a clear, hydrating base free of traditional heavy binders (meaning no stick-factor), then it's infused slowly with bold pigments (unlike most glosses that are over-processed in a rush). Just 1 swipe leaves a vibrant wash of gorgeous color since the pigments are left intact with the careful mixing process. Create the illusion of a plumper pout by dabbing a bit of extra gloss in the center!

Thanks for the swatches! the formula sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Courtney. The formula is really nice!
DeleteI haven't tried these newer glosses from Smashbox but I remember buying so many SB glosses.QVC used to have some great sets that I'd collect.
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely worth trying– I suspect that you will like them very much. I don't have any from the older formula– so I don't know how they compare.
DeleteWhat pretty shades! I like Coraline :)
ReplyDeleteThey really are quite pretty, I agree! Coraline is really beautiful!
DeleteOoh I love Azalea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, isn't it?!
DeleteThese are absolutely lovely glosses! They LOOK like they are really moisturizing too! <3
ReplyDeleteThey really are very lovely. I didn't notice them being moisturizing in any sort of pronounced way, but they most assuredly didn't dry out or irritate my lips. They are very comfortable to wear.
DeleteI'm more of a lipstick person than a lipgloss person, but Rosette is so pretty, as also Coraline.
ReplyDeleteThey really are quite pretty. The formula is so lovely that they are worth trying if ever you need/want a wonderful lip gloss. :-)
DeleteI'm a lipstick gal but an addition of one or two from this line won't hurt!
ReplyDeleteTHey are definitely worth having, and even if only to add some punch to one of your favorite lipsticks!
DeleteI really like Smashbox glosses, but haven't tried anything new in a while. The shades look amazing though! Totally want to try them now :D
ReplyDeleteThis lip gloss formula really is fabulous, and I agree that these shades are amazing. You should definitely take a look at them!
DeleteAzalea and Coraline are pretty :-) I'm a big Smashbox fan but I've only tried one gloss from the brand.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! I agree, those are gorgeous shades. As a Smashbox fan, you really have to try a couple of these– I think that you will really love them!
