Be Legendary Lipstick

These lipsticks have STAYING POWER. I started off buying the Infrared Matte, the colour is great and highly pigmented so one coat is more than enough. I loved it so much that I bought another in a different colour this time in Melondrama, this shade has a little shimmer but not too much which is good. There is a wide range of colours to choose from and application is great. I think I prefer these to Mac Lipsticks.

Hands down, don't think I'll ever use another red again. I'm the kind of person that forgets I'm wearing lipstick sometimes, and won't be that careful when I go out and have dinner with friends. I've had one or two occasions where I've accidentally licked off lipstick, but with Smashbox Infrared Matte, the lipstick STAYS. It doesnt budge, and I could go for 12 hours it hour reapplying because the colour doesn't go away. And it stays vivid!

One thing through, it is a little bit of a challenge to remove even with lip balm beneath, but that is a small proceim willing to pay for a whole day of coverage. Best purchase bought on a whim. I highly recommend it!

How serious was Smashbox about these lipsticks?! They are so amazing! So creamy. Even my favorite, which is a matte (Infrared Matte) is creamy as it glides on. I was tempted to just skip out on the other colors, but I also picked up 2 more shades: Legendary & Fuschia Flash Matte. Such a great quality lipstick.

Just a word of advice, and not just with these lipsticks -- if you are going to use matte lipsticks, please moisturize your lips immensely. Otherwise the color will grab onto the cracked skin and live in those areas, which will make your lips look not so luscious :)
