About Smashbox Lip Gloss
This comes from the Smashbox Website:
Our top selling LIP GLOSS is smooth and moisturizing, never tacky or dry. A makeup artist favorite that can be worn alone for a sheer wash of color, or over your favorite lipstick for a more lacquered look. Available in three great formulas: cream, sheer and shimmer.
This gloss comes in a squared off tube and has a sponge tipped applicator. There are only a few colors to choose from and they do tell you whether the formula is sheer, cream, or shimmer. I prefer cream gloss and even that is very subtle, almost nude. The others have less pigment and more shine. I like that this isn't sticky or thick and it does glide onto my lips well. if I have a nude or light lip liner pencil filling in my lips first, the color is visible and stays visible for an hour or so. Gloss isn't made to last long, that's for sure.
I don't taste anything nor is there a particular scent to this gloss. It is flattering and pretty if you like super subtle, barely there lips colors. I prefer more vibrant lips and can get that from many glosses. Just not this one. Although I prefer more pigment to my lip glosses, if you want a decent daytime gloss that is only $14.00-$15.00 a tube, is long lasting (as far as in the tube) and has a choice of three formulas to match your preferences, Smashbox Lip Gloss certainly fits the bill. For me, it was just average. I have it, I wear it now and then, but it certainly isn't one of must have lip products.
My Viewpoint
Smashbox Lip Gloss is subtle and flattering. It's getting harder to find and they may be discontinuing it or perhaps coming out with new shades. You can always find Smashbox products on QVC if nowhere else. For me this was ehhh. Average. 3 stars. I would recommend it to those who like subtle barely there lip color but it probably isn't much better than cheaper gloss as far as wear goes so I suggest skipping this and trying another brand.
