This Smashbox Lipstick is a perfect size for putting in my purse and always having with me to reapply when I’m on the go. It is water-resistant and uses Advanced Polymer Technology to help it stay in place for up to 8 hours.

These come in a range of great shades, something for everyone. They apply smoothly, some shades need a little layering because they can be a bit streaky. On me they do not completely dry down, so there is some transferring, but on the plus side that makes them not overly drying on the lips. Lip prep before application is important, they will highlight dry areas on your lips.

I like the wear and colours but find the price pretty high ($28 Canadian).

Stays on forever and really creamy feeling. It's definitely pricey, but so worth it. It does sink into lip lines a bit, and a liner helps with that, but doesn't completely mitigate it. I just need Out Loud to come back in stock!

I got the Smashbox matte liquid lip in a Sephora lipstick sample kit, in the shade Stepping Out. The colour is very pigmented and gorgeous, the applitcator is very easy to use and it is one of my favourites because of the applicator, and the lipstick lasts basically all day! It is a bit dry like most matte liquid lips, but applying a good lip balm will help. I even ate fast food with the lipstick on and most of it was still on afterwards, which is pretty rare for lipstick. Definitely recommend!!

These are great liquid lipsticks, but they are identical to the MAC Retro Matte liquid lipsticks, so if you're looking at these, just be warned you're paying more for these. I have these in a couple of shades, Stepping Out (dark nude), Drivers Seat (reddy nude) and Outloud (brown red).
