Polka Dot Man

Smashbox Polka Dot Man Be Legendary Anti-Hero Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with strong, warm yellow undertones and a cream finish. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging on them.

The consistency was lightweight, lightly creamy with some slip, but it stayed in place well and wasn’t prone to emphasizing my lip lines. It wore well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.14 oz. - $171.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "creamy" texture with "rich, pigment-packed color." The textures were smooth, creamy with light slip, and comfortable to apply in a fluid motion as they did not tug. Some shades were more satiny in their creaminess, while a couple felt more emollient and would likely benefit from a lip liner for better wear, though I did not experience any shades feathering/bleeding on me.

The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque with more shades being closer to opaque than not. They were typically buildable and weren't prone to emphasizing lip texture or gathering in my deeper lip lines. The lipstick wore between four and six hours and was hydrating while worn.

The formula had a faint, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste. I almost thought it was fragrance-free when I first tried to smell it as it was that faint.

Ratcatcher 2

Smashbox Ratcatcher 2 Be Legendary Anti-Hero Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium peach with warmer, more orange undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff that applied evenly across my lips, and there was slight product that accumulated in my deeper lip lines; however, it wasn’t noticeable in person, just in the close-up photos.

The consistency was smooth, creamy, and had moderate slip without being too much that it felt like it slid around during wear. It lasted nicely for four hours and felt moisturizing over time.

Smashbox Bloodsport Be Legendary Anti-Hero Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a rich, caramel brown with warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth, creamy, and lightweight with moderate slip that helped it glide on comfortably but not slide around while worn.

It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly with very slight product that sat in my deeper lip lines that was only visible in the close-up photos. This shade stayed on well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Year of the Rat. Lots of rat-themed things, but no pets, because…dachshunds. I rather like the shade, as it’s pretty unique. Smashbox lipstick must have improved over the years. The ones I had, had only fair performance and went bad quickly. Recently read that Smashbox was in financial trouble. Lot of that these days.

I have the Polka Dot Man in my Ulta cart and I may just pull the trigger. I do have several dupes though because I love orange lip sticks especially yellow and red toned orange colors. I don’t have many Smashbox lip products. Glad this reviewed well. I was going to get the purple lip stick from this collection for my daughter but it got a low score.

We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
