Smashbox LA Lights Blendable Lip and Cheek Color ($29; sephora.com) is a multipurpose blush/lip tint for quick touchups. The formula is easy to use, pretty lightweight and blendable. The packaging is very compact, travel friendly and comes with a sponge tip on one side to blend the color out.
I tried three of five shades from the range - Hollywood & Highlight, a champagne sheen shimmer, Venice Beach Bronze, a shimmery golden bronze and Beverly Hills Blush, a mid tone pink. The formula was consistent with all three and the colors are beautiful as cream blushes, alone or layered. I did find them a bit drying on the lips though, unless used under a gloss. While I do think the sponge tip applicator is a nice addition, I much prefer using my fingers to blend these out. They are quite easy to work with, maybe a little more easier on well moisturized skin, don’t fade very much through the day and the colors are gorgeous as blushes and as highlights with a very nicely buildable intensity! Beverly Hills Blush especially is a shade that is definitely worth checking out!
