The Scarlet Season: Smashbox Siren Lip Enhancing Gloss
Smashbox Siren Lip Enhancing Gloss
($18.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a mostly red, slightly pink-tinged semi-opaque gloss with a coppery red shimmer that’s noticeable but not in-your-face. The best part about this gloss (and other shades in the same formula) is the high shine, ultra glossy look it gives lips. My lips just seemed to look a little bigger, fuller, and just more POW! overall. The formula iteslf is non-sticky, not really thick (but not super thin, either–somewhere in-between), and very moisturizing. The gloss does contain vitamin E, so it helps keep lips feeling their best. It has a soft slightly sweet vanilla scent to it, as well. Siren is a good shade to gloss over a red lipstick for extra shine or wear alone!
The Scarlet Season is a series of posts showcasing and featuring my favorite shades of red lips–from glosses to lipsticks that runs through December 2009. You can sure expect to see a lot of red this holiday season!

Smashbox Siren Lip Enhancing Gloss
Oh wow, that looks amazing. I don’t know why, but when I saw it in the tube it didn’t look like it would apply so well.
I’m glad you’re doing Smashbox reviews today, I love that brand!
Surprisingly, it applied quite well and didn’t require much fussing!
I didn’t even realize I was doing multiple Smashbox reviews, LOL! We’ll pretend it’s Smashbox Day!
One of the rare cases where something looks better on the lips than in the tube; I love how the glitter actually looks pink, not silver. It’s really beautiful.
LOL! That’s true — it’s almost never this way!
This colour is lovely, the colour reminds me of the sugary, clear layer on candy apples.
I love the way you describe things, Amy! You have a knack for it
I own this gloss in Starlit. It’s a really pretty red- full color and slightly shimmery. The color goes on like a liquid lipstick. I love it so much! You should check it out. None of the other shades seemed special enough for me to buy, but Siren looks pretty
I have Starlit, too
I’ll be featuring that one later on, as well!
That’s beautiful! I might have to ask Santa for that… and another tube of Candid because its my absolute favourite Smashbox gloss and I’m nearly out! Oh noes!
Haha!
Candid is another pretty one!
i think i need to try smashbox’s lipgloss. lots of people seem to like it.
It’s a pretty solid formula, so it’s definitely worth stopping to glance at next time you’re near a Smashbox display!
Wow, I agree with the other commenters. It really does look better on your lips than in the tube. I totally didn’t expect that at all!
Haha! That’s great
Glad you liked the end result!
