The Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Lacquers: Some Legends Last and Some Don't
"Get together round, young'ns," said granny Karen, "and allow me tell y'all the story of a long-wearing lip lacquer then shiny, so smooth, so long-lasting and revered that information technology was legendary!"
I can see it now…the spunky granny version of myself telling the story of Smashbox's Be Legendary Long-Wear Lip Lacquers ($24 each and available in 20 shades) to a grouping of gum-smacking, eye-rolling tweens, although, actually, there's no way I'm going to make it by 75 with my sanity intact.
I can see myself handing down vintage tubes of my go-to colors to my favorite granddaughter — let'due south call her Jem because she has pink hair and sings pb in a punk rock ring — while telling her tales of my legendary adventures with my legendary cat.
But, alas, it wasn't meant to be. My love Jem will not be acquiring her feisty granny's beloved and precious tubes of Be Legendary Lip Lacquer. She will, instead, get amusing anecdotes meant to teach her life lessons, every bit well as a few pieces of stale butterscotch hard processed. 🙂
Don't go me incorrect. I think these lip lacquers look great.
They merely don't terminal very long…
New to the Smashbox permanent line, they're available in 20 shades billed as long-wearing. They start as a shiny gloss, which is supposed to fade to a lip stain that lasts eight hours.
Hmm… More like ii or three.
The iv shades I've tried — Rosewater, Pink Social, Beet It and Legendary — do come with pounds of pigment, and they start out absolutely gorgeous on the lips. Shoot, the glossy finish could make a pair of patent-leather Louboutins jealous!
The non-pasty formula also feels fabulous, similar a silky Agent Provocateur nightgown against my skin, and is that a faint hint of buttercream I sense of taste and smell?
In less time than it takes to liquify your encephalon while watching The Real Housewives (approximately 60 minutes, give or take), Be Legendary Lip Lacquers' glossy finish fades to a lite stain, and inside a few hours after that — POOF! — even the stain is gone.
I feel like these are trying to aqueduct the (admittedly more expensive) YSL Glossy Stains and Dior Aficionado Fluid Sticks, but they don't quite go there.
PRICE: $24 for a 0.20-oz. tube
AVAILABILITY: Permanent, and available now in 20 shades at Smashbox counters and online
MAKEUP AND Beauty Weblog RATING: B
Your friendly neighborhood dazzler aficionado,
