Girl, Please
Smashbox Girl, Please Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is medium-dark brown with strong, warm undertones and very fine peach pearl. It had opaque color coverage in one coat, as described, and the color spread evenly across the lips without streaking. There was noticeable color in my lip lines when I looked up-close, though it was less apparent at a full view as the finish was quite shiny. This shade wore well for five and a half hours on me and was somewhat hydrating.
The formula is supposed to have “the full coverage a lipstick” with “the high shine of a gloss” in “a single coat” and is available in two finishes (metallic and vinyl). To me, it felt more like a gloss than a lipstick overall, as it had the plushness and glossiness I’d associate with a gloss. The coverage was typically mostly opaque to fully opaque across the range, and they went on fairly evenly and smoothly. I noticed that a lot of shades emphasized the lines on my lips up-close, but I couldn’t tell just looking in a regular mirror, as there was such a strong shine. The wear ranged from five to seven hours, which I suspect is partially due to the slightly thicker, moderately tacky texture.

Brick Trick
Smashbox Brick Trick Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a dark, reddish burgundy with warmer undertones and a glossy finish. This shade was one of the less pigmented in the vinyl finish; it also had more slip, which made it harder to maneuver along the edges without it feathering slightly. The texture was smooth, light-medium in weight, moderately tacky, and spread without tugging. The color went on rather evenly with minimal settling, despite it seeming to have more slip. The color wore well for over six hours, but I had some feathering after a few hours (which is unusual for me).

Bad Apple
Smashbox Bad Apple Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. The consistency was moderately tacky, spreadable but did not slide around, and not too thick or too thin. I had some color pull into my lip lines, but the high-shine finish made it impossible to tell at a normal viewing distance. It had good pigmentation–just shy of full coverage–in one pass. This shade wore well for six hours on me and was lightly hydrating.

Love the colors and the shine!!
Me too 😀
Smashbox Girl, Please is just beautiful, will definitely check it out.
It is a lovely color!
I have got to get Girl, Please! That is a beautiful shade for year round! And, I noticed, not all that easy to dupe.
Also love how plush and rich Crush It and Bad Apple look, too!
But very sad for Brick Trick. I thought that one would have been a winner, but feathering is no bueno. I hardly ever get that, but then again, I almost always wear lip liner because at my age it really helps to prevent that issue!
Crush it is my favorite!
Crush it is beautiful! I LOVE it
Brick Trick is just dreamy.. ?
Crush It is lovely.
It is!
