The Spring Season: Smashbox Splendid Lipstick

The Spring Season: Smashbox Splendid Lipstick

Smashbox Splendid Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, semi-opaque coral-pink with a glossy finish. It has subtle golden/champagne shimmer throughout, but it has more of a glimmering effect. Despite having a very soft and sheer look to it, it’s surprisingly opaque. It really melds and blends with your natural lip color, so it is easy to wear. Smashbox’s Lipsticks are always very creamy and moisturizing and wear for a solid four hours on me.

Is this the right coral lipstick for you? Would you wear it?

The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

hi, pontip. have you tried "cherish" by mac? i don't personally own it, but everyone i know who has tried brave new bronze has sworn to it as being a very close dupe. cherish is also a satin finish, btw. you can view a swatch of it here on temptalia: http://www.temptalia.com/?s=mac+cherish&x=0&y=0 hope this helps!
