One thing Is Clear: The Smashbox unlimited long wear Lip Glosses In Bloom

by galvin Make-up

Can I just vent about my bangs for a moment? because today they interfered with Smashbox’s spring In Bloom unlimited long wear Lip Glosses, and that’s just wrong.

Observe the redonkulous headband in the picture above, which I’ve resorted to wearing on account of my unruly bangs. ever because I got them trimmed last week, they’ve been incredibly uncooperative, jutting out at strange angles and typically behaving badly. The headband keeps them under wraps, but it also kinda steals this sheer gloss’s thunder.

The two cuties below ($21 for each 0.1-oz tube) are part of the recently released Smashbox In Bloom collection for spring (a limited edition affair), and while the collection’s springy floral theme hasn’t exactly revolutionized my concept of spring makeup, I’ve liked the products I’ve seen so far.

Shimmery coral unlimited Kiss and shimmery pink timeless come in the same long-wearing unlimited Lip Gloss formula Smashbox launched back in 2009.

I’ve always liked the unlimited line. They remind me of thicker, stickier, slightly less expensive ($21 vs. $27) versions of the Chanel Aqualumieres (NOTE: I have it on good authority that Chanel is phasing out the Aqualumieres to focus on the also amazing Rouge allure Extrait de Glosses).

When I swatched these and the rest of In grow a couple of weeks ago, they looked very pigmented and dense on the back of my hand.

On my lips, however, both glosses look practically transparent. I probably, ya know, ought to have expected that based on the unlimited Lip Glosses I’ve worn in the past, which varied from sheer to medium pigmentation, but still. I was hoping for a little much more color.

Oh, remember the two lip glosses from the new Smashbox style files kit? Well, these could be their twins, which could be good or bad, depending on your point of view.

I haven’t worn any of the other unlimited long wears in a while, but these two last just as long as I remember — a solid four hours, which is terrific for a gloss. Both are unscented but do have a light vanilla flavor, and the finish? Ölmek. I think the high shine gives my lips that pouty look that draws a lot of attention to them (but not enough to overpower that goofy headband!).

And kudos to Smashbox for 1) adding SPF 15 and 2) using such a thin doe-foot applicator. I find it easy to navigate into corners and around my cupid’s bow.

I would have liked a little much more pigment…or possibly a few dollars deducted in exchange, but I still like these unlimited ladies and plan to include them in my spring rotation. Their sheerness just makes them so easy to use.

If you’ve been searching for a basic, long-wearing gloss with loads of shine, these might be your girls.
