Pink Drank
Smashbox Pink Drank Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had rich pigmentation with a smooth-feeling gloss that spread comfortably across the lips. It applied fairly evenly with almost no streaking, but there was a bit of color that gathered in my lip lines. The texture was light-medium in thickness, not heavy, and moderately tacky. The hybrid lipstick/lipgloss lasted for five hours on me and was lightly 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.

Rose B4 Bros
Smashbox Rose B4 Bros Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish plum with warm undertones and a cream finish. It was intensely pigmented with fully opaque coverage in one stroke. The texture was light-medium in thickness, not heavy, noticeably tacky, and smooth in overall feel. It applied evenly and had almost no settling at all, which I wasn’t able to see at all at a normal viewing distance. This shade wore nicely for six hours and was lightly moisturizing.

Bad B
Smashbox Bad B Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium coral with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had good color coverage that went on fairly evenly, but there was some streaking on this shade, and not just around the edges. There was also noticeable settling, and I think that the lightness of the shade made it more noticeable. The texture felt similar to others in the formula–light-medium in weight, tacky, but smooth–and was comfortable to wear. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating.

Mauve Wife
Smashbox Mauve Wife Be Legendary Liquid Lip ($24.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a muted, rosy brown with warm undertones and very, very fine gold pearl. The consistency was smooth without feeling heavy, tacky but not goopy, and easily spread across the lips. The full coverage payoff applied evenly with some emphasis of my lip lines, though the mirror-like shine made that downside less apparent at a full view. It stayed on well for five and a half hours on me.

All beautiful, my fave is Mauve Wife, surprised there aren’t more dupes!
There aren’t that many really pigmented glosses (in general), and then there aren’t that many really glossy lipsticks either!
These are TOO beautiful! Yep. As in 3 out of 4 made it to my wishlist. Bad B, Rose B4 Bros, and Pink Drank are real stunners for me! Between these and the metallics, I’m toast. Or shall I say my bank acct is.
They are fun 😀
I know it’s lame, but I am still giggling to myself over the name Rose B4 Bros.
It’s a pretty colour too!
Haha! 😉
Their all pretty & I’m glad to see they all received good reviews.
They are pretty!
I like them all too! No surprise here that Mauve Wife is my favorite but I really really like these. Smashbox’ legendary lipstick line is very good and so is the first liquid formula now these 2 lines. I have been seriously underestimating them. Now that I look across their lipstick selection over the last few years I see that I haven’t given them near enough credit.
I’ve heard good things about the brand’s more matte liquid lipstick!
Rose B4 Bros is really pretty.
It is!
I HAVE to get Rose B4 Bros for the name alone!!
Rose B4 Bros is really nice. I’m loving it.
