The story of how I got to the amazing Smashbox Light it Up Lipstick + Mattifier Set is like a typical comedy romance movie. I walked into our version of Sephora here in Israel with an attempt to purchase ONE lipstick which I can wear on an everyday basis and I walked out with 6 lipsticks and a lip mattifier.
The moment the sales lady showed me the kit I told her alright let’s pick out all these shades from the testers I want to see that they are good for me before I throw my money here.I had a look and I fell in love with one specific shade instantly and the other 5 seemed to be decent as well. I don’t know if to say they are pretty universal but they did choose a very nice mix of shades for a kit. Those are actually 6 very popular shades of lipsticks from their be legendary lipstick collection.
During the first week after I purchased Smashbox’s light it up lipsticks + Mattifier set I was wearing a different lipstick every single day and then I basically knew which of the 3 I would be wearing the most. I am absolutely obsessed over the shades Fig, Famous and Primrose. I feel like the other 3 are for night outs or fancier events so I can’t always wear them to the office. When I wore the shade inspiration my manager thought I was going out that night and asked me what was the special occasion hahaha
The Shades (from left to right)
- Famous – lightest of them all. It’s Nude with a little touch of orange. Absolutely love this one.
- Fig – darkest of them all and the colour is like wine. Obsessed.
- Inspiration – bold pink for girls night outs
- Legendary – the ultimate red shade that Taylor Swift would be wearing
- Primrose – a very natural looking pink which suits for everyday use
- Tabloid – this one is sexy. A very vibrant shade of purple. Might not suit everyone but I can’t wait to rock it in a night out.
Overall I really like this set and I do think Smashbox did a brilliant job at choosing the shades. I never felt like it was dehydrating my lips or that my lips were getting dry from wearing the lipsticks too long so I can definitely say that it is true that they claim to moisturize and soften with shea butter and with vitamins C and E. They don’t stay on all day but isn’t it pretty normal to touch up after lunch? I don’t find myself touching up 10 times a day so I think they do the job. When I finish these lipsticks I will most certainly go buy the full size of Fig and Famous. FOR SURE! Those two are like my minions .. for my face.. hahaha
