2 Bold Lipsticks to Spice Up Your Lips

On Starting a Garden

So, Smashbox is a brand I’ve used before, but I think I only have a small eyeshadow palette that I use somewhat regularly. Beyond that, the Be Legendary Lip Lacquer in Coral that was in a Birchbox is the only other memorable Smashbox product in my makeup collection. You can see what that color looks like from this post!

But these two colors stuck out to me immediately and I grabbed them on my way out.

Below I’m wearing the shade L.A. Sunset. It’s such a vibrant red! Look at the shine it left too! It’s not a true, deep fire engine red in real life, it has a bit more of a “chili pepper” type tone to it, and I absolutely love it.

And below I’m wearing Panorama Pink. It’s a sister to MAC Lovelorn without being as dark. It has a little bit more of a brighter finish, but they are definitely similar. Not identical twins, but more fraternal twins if you know what I’m sayin’. And this lipstick lasts a bit longer on me than MAC’s Lovelorn. That will always be a favorite, but I’m a bit more pleased with how this wears between the two of them.

That red is gorgeous! Do you find these to be drying at all? That’s aka ways my challenge with lipsticks.

Because you quickly mentioned it in your Scope earlier this week, I picked it up at Sephora Tuesday. I like it! But I got braces in November and lip products have been awful. They transfer on to my braces and that’s just gross. So I’m limited to lip balm until May 12th. Freedom day!

Love these two colors on you. For me I prefer the red. Pink lipsticks on me have never looked right. I cannot put my finger on it but I prefer a deeper color. I may have to snag that red though!

I’m pretty sure those are not the lacquer, but rather, the Be Legendary CREME. The lacquer is a gloss, with an applicator.

Yep, those are the cream. I linked to them in the post!

Can you PLEASE tell me which hair ‘style’ you have in this post? I MUST find the tutorial. Your hair (and the lip colors) look fabulous. I want to be you…..only I am OLDER, brunette and hair tutorial-challenged!

I am honestly obsessed with the length of your hair!!! You look amazing in the lipsticks and I know this post is about them. but I just can’t get over how gorgeous your hair is! You are beautiful!

Both look lovely on you, but especially the PINK.

Have you check out Charlotte Tilbury’s two new shades—Between the Sheets & Kiss Chase? They seem very suited to blonds. And to SPRING!
