The Be Legendary Lipsticks($19) are a new launch for spring from Smashbox. They come in 22 shades in cream and matte finishes.
These lipsticks have a rich luxurious feel and go on so well even without a lip balm. I find them to be very moisturizing and pigmented. They have a slight vanilla scent just like the MAC lipsticks. The packaging although a little heavy, looks very chic. The intensity is buildable and since they are very moisturizing you could even wear them as a stain if the color seems a little too loud.
Posy Pink is a light, peachy pink I like to pair with a killer smokey eye. This was the problem child out of the bunch and went on a little patchy. Worn alone, it does tend to wash me out a little so I like to go over with a pink gloss.
Chai is a brownish nude with very slight orange tones. I love this shade. It's a nice brown that will look great on medium/dark skin tones.
Black Plum is a deep, dark vampy berry. It has a nice sheen that keeps it from looking too flat. I like to wear it as a stain since the color, straight out of the tube, isn't very flattering on me.
Truffle is a warm brown with just a hint of pink. It's a great everyday shade that works perfectly well when you want to keep it low-key.
I got about 3 hours of wear time from these lipsticks and they did not dry out my lips even a little bit. I just wish the price was a teeny bit cheaper. Overall, the formulation is amazing and the array of shades is just fabulous.

They look nice, although the only spring shade is that pink one! The others are rather brown! I like Smashbox-their stuff is so underrated.
ReplyDeleteThe pink will look great on you! They do have quite a few other pinks n peaches in the range :)
DeleteTruffle and Chai have my name written all over them! I haven't really tried Smashbox lipsticks yet. Now might be a good time. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Chai and yes, you NEED it! Looks really nice with neutral eyes. Such a pretty shade :)
DeleteWOW. Posy Pink and Black Plum look incredible.
ReplyDeleteThey do! Glad you like them :)
Deletelook nice but seems that the nyx ones would be comparable and a fraction of the cost...if i was gifted one i'd wear it but don't see me going out of my way to buy one probably.
ReplyDeleteHi Vonnie,
DeleteAre you talking about the round lipsticks? I found them to be just a little more squishy :) I love the formula on this one, very creamy and a nice smell. But I also wish they were priced a little lesser.
