The Smashbox lip lacquers have been all the hype and i really wanted it !!! Thank you so much Beauty Bulletin for this amazing product. I received the Be Legendary Long-wear lip lacquer in LEGENDARY . It is a lovely vibrant red color and at first i was abit hesitant because I'm more of a nude shade kinda girl but after trying it out I felt like kicking myself for not trying out vibrant and bold shades of lipsticks and lip glosses.

It applies on so smoothly and I really love the velvety yet creamy texture of the lacquer. The applicator wand wand makes it so easy to apply and you only need one coat, yip you heard right just one swipe of the applicator wand is all it took to cover my lips with this really vibrant shade. I loved that it didn't feel heavy on my lips and i didn't have to reapply it as often compared to other lipsticks and lip glosses i have used in the past. I am totally addicted to this product and i will definately get the rest of the shades available in this range.

I received the Be Legendary lip gloss in Disco Rose, long-wear lip lacquer in Legendary, and the Always Sharp lip liner in Ruby.

For someone like me who hardly ever wears anything on my lips, the Be Legendary lip gloss in Disco Rose is a perfect introduction. It’s just the right amount of colour for a natural every-day look, the consistency is really good and it isn't sticky at all. Also, it's incredibly lightweight so you pretty much forget you're wearing anything at all - perfect for a no-fuss makeup update!

For the lip lacquer I first lined and filled using the Always Sharp liner – which might I add is a pretty nifty invention and makes application super accurate – and popped the lip lacquer on top. I was kinda terrified of so much colour compared to my usual bare lips but as it turns out the lip lacquer was my favourite part! I fell in love with the rich colour which really complimented my skin tone, and found the consistency to be crazy good. The colour stayed put for most of the day although it lost it's glossy shine after an hour or so, but the stain is equally lovely. Yay’s all around, basically.

Overall -
I thought the prices were on point for these products. The quality felt very high and I would definitely repurchase these products, I'm also very excited to try out the deep berry shades!

Thanks so much Smashbox and Beauty Bulletin!

The Smashbox Be Legendary Lipgloss range will truly blow your mind. With 15 different shades to choose from you will be in lipgloss heaven! I tried this lipgloss in what I thought was a rather different colour than what I usually wear, in a shade called gingerly. From the clear packaging, I could tell this lipgloss had a slight shimmer too.

I have used this lipgloss a number of times now and I think this colour is great! It is not as orange when you apply it to your lips and it can be worn on its own to add slight colour and gloss or it can be worn over one of the Smashbox lipsticks for a prominent lip look. This lipgloss is relatively long lasting, is non-stick and feels comfortable and airy on my lips! My other Smashbox Be Legendary fave lipgloss shade is Vivid Violet...I sense an addiction coming on.

Another fabulous product in the post making its way to my doorstep? Awesome!

Smashbox Always Sharp Lipliner in Crimson
I totally love the colour that I received. The fact that it self-sharpens is absolutely amazing. The glide is seamless,the texture smooth and you can be certain that your lip lacquer or lipstick won't "weep or run away with you". Great product indeed.

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipgloss in Disco Rose
Totally loved the colour because it goes with almost any lipstick in my make up bag. The shimmer,the emerald shine,brilliant. It isn't sticky at all and definitely doesn't "weigh the lips down". The smell is gorgeous and makes my lips feel velvety smooth,hydrated,moisturised and thoroughly loved.

Smashbox Be Legendary Long-wear Lip lacquer in Firecracker
This product I liked the least. The colour us very unnatural,it literally screams attention! It definitely would have looked much better on some one else with a different complexion than mine. It also stains the lips,which I did not like. I think that if it was a more suitable colour to my skin tone, I would not mind the stain that stays on for quite a while. It is really moisturising though and the smell is not bad at all.

All in all,i would buy Smashbox products for their high quality and effectiveness. Thank you,Smashbox.

I have already done a video review for my Smashbox lippy products, but for those of you who don't have access to watch videos at work or even at home. Here's my written review:

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipgloss in Pout. I usually don't like lipgloss because it has that sticky feeling on your lips and doesn't last very long. Also, every time the wind blows my hair onto my lipgloss, my lipgloss lands up all over my face and hair. Not so Legendary. But this lipgloss is nice for when you're not outdoors in the wind as it leaves a silky smooth glass-like textures and its not sticky at all.

Price : 220

Smashbox Be Legendary Long-Wear Lip Lacquer in Coral

This wee pot of loveliness has a wet consistency but a creamy texture goes on velvety smooth and has a moisturising feel. Once the top layer and shiny finish wears off (about an hour after application) lips are left with an even stain of colour. It hydrates and compared to other long wearing lipsticks it doesn't feel patchy or drying.

And it doesn't stick to my hair so I don't get lipgloss residue all over my cheeks and hair. Booyah! Bonus!

Here's a Tip: Wear the lipliner with the lip lacquer. I think because it has a spongy applicator so you tend to slather it on. It tends to feather and bleed into the wee lines around your mouth! So remember to use lip liner with this product.

Price : R250

The packaging for both the lip gloss and lip lacquer are not that impressive. For something that's supposed to be "Legendary", the plastic feels cheap. The matt top picks up loads of dust, crumbs and fluff (which every woman has at the bottom of yer handbag) and starts to look shabby. I do love the chevron stripes though!

Price: 6ml for R250

Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner in Nude Light

The Twist off top lip liner is lovely! It glides on easily and prevents the lip lacquer bleeding into your little lines around your mouth.

A long-wearing, water resistant lip liner that self-sharpens every time you twist the cap off. Neat wee trick!

Price: R230

Great products, but a wee bit too pricey for me. I will buy the lip lacquer again, though. My hair doesn't stick to this lip lacquer. Big plus!

So when I opened my unexpected parcel and saw 3 Smashbox products staring at me I was DELIGHTED and the biggest smile literally swept across my face! Thank you BB.

I am going to firstly start with the Smashbox Always sharp Lip Liner, the colour I received was “Figgy” which is a gorgeous rich Red shade. Even though you cannot see the sharpener this nifty pencil is conveniently self –sharpening everytime the cap is twisted off. Yes ladies! No more scrambling threw makeup draws looking for that tiny sharpener! Upon applying the consistency of the pencil was soft and sculpted the lips effortlessly. I have a thinner top lip so I used the beauty trick of accentuating my cupid’s bow to create a look of fullness. My first step to achieving the perfect pout was a success! The lip liner comes in 16 amazing shades, and works perfectly fine to use the liner to fill in the lips to create a Matte effect.
Conclusion, The lip liner did indeed prevent feathering and bleeding and is long wearing and I cannot wait to get my hands on a nude shade for that everyday look.
Awesome! What more could a girl ask for?!

Smashbox Lip Lacquer in Bordeaux, this was one of the products I was hesitant about the actual colour. The shade is a reddish brown which does not work well with my complexion. Never the less I wanted to give the actual product a rating. One coat was enough for my lips, the colour was vibrant and intense with a glossy finish. It felt weightless and comfortable and was not at all sticky, after a few hours I noticed that the glossiness had worn off yet the colour stained my lips which lasted for most of the day. A touch up is required to keep that vibrant eye catching look.

I was so impressed with the full colour and lasting properties of Smashbox Lacquer that I took a peek online for the shades available, boasting 20 GORGEOUS shades I am super eager for a little self spoiling at the end of the month!

So for the final product, Smashbox Be Legendary Lip gloss in “Disco Rose”, I saved my favourite for last ? Being a lipgloss junkie I have tried tons of lip glosses, and I am hardly ever impressed due to the formula being too sticky or tacky or the colour transferring onto my teeth, let alone to just be able to find that perfect vibrant colour. Welcome to my life Smashbox Be Legendary lipgloss! Personally I love the “Disco Rose” shade, it suited my complexion and provided a polished shine look which made me gloat confidence! And again the shades available are irresistible.
The applicator is flat and broad which allowed for quick precise application and the shade matched with the “Figgy” Lipliner perfectly. The texture of the lipgloss was not sticky nor tacky which allowed for a comfortable wear. As with most lip glosses a touch up is required to maintain the shine.
The Lipliner and gloss have become part of my essentials list and go with me everywhere!

Final conclusion: the quality of the Smashbox products I received exceeded my expectations and you get what you are paying for. Would I be purchasing these products in the near future? Most Definitely! #smashboxfan

A girl should be 2 things, Classy & Fabulous, and there is nothing better than to wear it on your smile!

This is a video review of the AMAZING SMASHBOX BE LEGENDARY lip line. I was luck to be chosen to review the Always Sharp Lip Liner in "Violet", the stunning Lip Lacquer in "Beet it" and the beautiful Lip Gloss in " Suggar Cane".

I hope you enjoy my review and forgive me for the amateur editing and "hummm" pauses that I made! If you struggle with my accent and wonder where it is from, it's from the beautiful country of Brazil were I was born and raised.

xoxo Beauties!

In all three products I especially loved the easy sweep of colour with a long lasting sparkling shine. My lips felt nourished and well moistened. The product has a divine smell and doesn't leave you with an odd taste in your mouth as many lip products do. Even after the product completely wears off (which takes some time) you are still left with a lovely colour stain on your lips. Prices are ever slightly above average but you really do not need to use a lot which would allow the product to last longer, should you take care in keeping the product clean.

This is what I especially loved in each product:

{Lip Liner}
This lip liner is in such a gorgeous hue that can even be used full coverage as a lipstick. The always sharp feature is a complete win!

{Lip Lacquer}
What I love about this lip lacquer is that you need only use a drop for full lip coverage. Only downside is that although you don’t need a lot of product you do really have to rub lips together a few times for the colour to appear evenly spread. This is fine for home application but not for when you need to reapply in public without a mirror.

{Lip gloss}
The lip gloss was my favourite out of all three. It’s perfect to use on its own or over a lipstick. Its packaged in a pretty bottle with a very convenient sponge tip applicator that ensures a quick, smooth and even application.

Tip: Use the lip liner with the lip gloss as I found this combo works fantastically!

I was totally over the moon to be selected as part of the Smashbox Be Legendary lip collection review club. Let me just start by saying that the packaging of all the items I received was oh so stylish, yet practical and cute!
I received:
1. Smashbox Be Legendary Lip Gloss in Illume. It looks like a gold shade in the tube, but when applied is a neutral gloss with just enough shimmer and sparkle, so can definitely be used during the day with or without the lip liner to complete a natural look with just a hint of glam. What I love about it though, is that you can put it over any shade of lippy you are using and it transforms it into glam with one stroke of that rabbit foot style wand. I am totally addicted! It goes over EVERY lipstick I use now and I use it even when I am not wearing make-up. It is not sticky at all, though you can feel you have something on your lips it is very light and not uncomfortable. LOVE LOVE LOVE MWAH
2. Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner in Nude Light. This is the perfect lip liner in every sense. First of all, you have just got to love the fact that the built in sharpener sharpens the tip every time you twist off the lid, so your lips are always perfectly defined and it prevents your lipstick from bleeding into fine lines too - bonus!This lip liner goes the distance and lasts ALL day. I also like to use it as a lip stain by just filling in my lips as well and then sweeping over the Illume lip gloss for some added brilliance. The shade is perfect for all lipsticks.
Another winner!!
3.Smashbox Be Legendary Long-Wear Lip Lacquer in Off-Duty, this is a peachy shade which goes very well with my fair complexion. I love how it feels so creamy on my lips yet never feels heavy or greasy that I just want to grab the nearest tissue and wipe it off. Its completely comfortable and weightless to wear and conditions the lips beautifully, as its formulated with Vitamin E and avocado oil. The colour is perfect for day and night and is perfectly partnered by the lip liner. In the evening, I like to add a swipe of the Illume lip gloss for a bit of extra shimmer and glamour. This lip lacquer goes the distance and although the shine fades a little, you can still see colour throughout the day, despite eating and drinking. If you want to add a bit more shine during the day, go ahead and whip that gorgeous tube out of your handbag! It will make your friends green with lip envy! Smashbox Be Legendary lip products are a definite lust have!!
So ladies, I hope you have been good this year, so that you can add Smashbox Be Legendary lip products to your Christmas wishlist and I hope that Santa delivers!!! I am so thrilled with mine!
Thanks Smashbox and Beauty Bulletin for making me a part of this fabulous review club xx

I was so so so excited when I found out I was one of the 15 lucky ladies to review this incredible range of lip products from Smashbox. I even did a jumping dance at the office when I saw the email from Beauty Bulletin.

First of all, I am a pout type of lady. I like being adventurous with my lips and they are actually one of my favorite parts in my body. I like wearing bright and different colors and I am up for anything really, except for black.

I need to say that these products are truly amazing!!!I received the Always sharp lip liner in “violet”, which makes our lives so much easier as every time you twist to open the lip liner your eyes meet perfectly sharpened tip! It does a great job on giving shape to your lips and preventing the lipstick or lip gloss to smudge out of the lines. The colour violet blends well with darker shades of lip colour as well as nudes.

The second product I received was the Lip Lacquer also in “violet”, which compliments the lip line colour. Oh boy the plum colour is so amazing! It promises to live up to 8 hours and so far I cannot complain. I love how vivid the colour is and enjoyed playing around with it.

The third product I received was a Lip gloss in the colour "Sugar Cane", which is a goldish brown colour that goes well on top of any tone. If used on it's on give a nice glossy shine to the lips without being overpowering.

Spring season is my favourite to experiment with colours and I am in make-up heaven when I am using Smashbox lip products. My lips look well defined and sexy.

Let your lips do the talking and don’t be scared to dare!

Thank you to the lovely ladies at beauty bulletin for the opportunity to try these amazing products!
I received the following three products!
Smashbox long wear lip laquer in orange crush!lip gloss in illume and always sharp lipliner in rosebud.
firstly i have a small mouth with thin lips and so bright colours even neutrals are not my go to colours for confidence!
I hide behind brown pinks and deep wines
So naturally i flipped a little receiving these colours
But for a special evening out i decided to experiment!
To really be out there n wear and enjoy these gorgeous lip products!
Its well known that people with thin lips like me can and should wear bright colours and even nudes!
I lined my lips in rosebud always sharp lip liner which never needs sharpening!each time you twist thd cap off guess what a perfectly sharpened tip and for me and my thin lips the major plus is no feathering or bleeding!i wore Yardley plumberry on top which is a longwear albeit dry lipstick and topped it off with smashboxes non drying non sticky long wearing lacquer in orange crush!
The overall effect i felt was absolutely stunning! A bold lip which really took centre stage on my face n made me look and feel absolutely confident and amazing!
For a day to day look rosebud lipliner and illume lipgloss which has full on shine without stickiness and feels lightweight and gorgeous!
Checkout my two different looks! Its hard to believe both pics are me!i love my makeup looks with smashbox!
These products make me feel so beautiful!
