Welcome to Product Love- this feature will focus on a product that I personally own and love so...

An ode to smashbox Be Legendary Lipsticks:


I admit I used to be afraid of lipsticks. Seemed so adult to me- I preferred glosses and stains. And then I got my first good lipstick and my beauty life suddenly opened up. It's hard to know what lipstick will look good on you until you try it so I suggest going into stores and TRYING out the colors!

I REALLY wanted a smashbox product, like REALLY REALLY wanted something when I realized I owned a total of 0 smashbox products and I had heard good things about their lipsticks. After scouring Sephora's selection 20 lipstick shades (smashbox has 21 shades plus a limited edition one right now) and repeatedly adding and removing different colors from my shopping basket, I decided on something a little extreme/out of my comfort zone and bought Electric Pink Matte.

This blast of hot pink definitely gets me noticed and I have to say I get compliments every single time I wear it. Yes, every time! I think my favorite was when the cashier at Jamba Juice had to tell me how much she loved my lipstick. Some people wear shocking colors every day but I think if you do that it wears down the effect. I loved the lipstick so much I decided to buy another color.

At $19 a pop I had to choose carefully and decided between a nice coral (Mandarin-electric coral) and their  bestseller red (Legendary). The choice was easy considering Legendary was sold out. So, what was the public's reaction to Mandarin. Immediate compliments- I swear I am not exaggerating.

I love this product! The lipsticks' colors stay all day and are easy to apply and re-apply. The colors really pop and, like I said, people really take notice. If you are looking for a new lip, I recommend smashbox 100%!

My pics don't do these beauties justice: thank goodness for the above Sephora's pics!
