Smashbox Always On Mettalic Matte Liquid Lipstick

I was kindly invited to Smashbox in Cambridge last week, to celebrate the launch of the new shades of the Always On Metallic Matte Liquid lipsticks. We watched a lip art demonstration using Kale My Vibe* which is a mid-tone green with green pearl. I would personally be tentative to use such bold colours but seeing people try them on and put them into a look made them look really wearable.



The new shades are: Pearl Please* (opal with multicolour pearl), XO Vlada*, Rust Fund* (pink copper with copper pearl), Carat Stick (orange with gold and pink pearl), Bold Digger* (bronze with bronze and gold pearl), Vino Noir* (burgundy and red pearl), Maneater* (red with red pearl), So Jelly *(fuchsia with fuchsia and blue pearl), Crystal Baller (light purple with purple and gold pearl), Make it Reign* (purple with purple pearl), Kale My Vibe* (mid-tone green with green pearl)  and Punked Rock *(grey with purple tint and silver pearl).





































If you are looking for a long lasting lip colour these liquid lipsticks are said to last 8 hours, without feathering and are water-resistant. They apply so easily with the precision tip applicator, with a no drip reservoir, so you don't need a lip liner. I tried layering Dream Huge with Pearl Please to make my own nude metallic and they layered really nicely, so that is also an option if you weren't feeling as bold a colour as some of the greens and purples. I found it really comfortable to wear and didn't budge even after eating and drinking.
