Lilly Singh aka iiSuperwomenii makes some amazing entertaining videos..You need to check her channel right now here.Recently Lilly Singh and Smashbox collaborated and a beautiful red shade 'Bawse' was born.I do follow Lilly Singh so this launch quite excited me but in India it wasn't available so I had to ask my sister to get this all the way from US.Finally I have my hands on it and my decision to buy it was certainly a good one.
Price: $24 for 4ml
A small bottle which feels like glass but is made of a very good quality plastic.The sharp edges add to the look and makes it look classy.The transparent bottle makes it color coded and you can easily identify the shades in case you have more shades from the range.By the way I am planning to add some more shades.The packaging is sleek and is convenient for carrying around in purse. The wand has a good shape and can be used for precise application and also holds a good amount of product so that once you take out wand you can use it to cover entire lips.One will not need to dip it again and again in bottle.

| Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick 'Bawse' Ingredients |
The formula is creamy mousse and is extremely pigmented.Just one swipe is enough for that bright bold pout.The shade is gorgeous deep red which would suit all skin tones and would compliment Indian skin tones even more.It brightens up my face.Lipstick glides like dream and settles to comfortable matte finish after sometime and is very light weight.It doesn't feels sticky and presence of lip soothing Primer Oil Complex makes it a treat for lips. Inspite of slight dryness on my lips it doesn't accentuates it. The best thing is that it is formulated without Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Phthalates, Fragrance & Talc.
It is the best matte formula I have tried till date.It does transfers and budges slightly but not like crazy.The non-bleeding and non-feathering formula helps me skip the lip liner beneath it.It doesn't settles in fine lines and applies evenly without getting patchy. Formula doesn't flakes nor does it stains the lips.Oil based remover can easily remove every bit of it.
Honestly I don't wear red lipsticks formally or casually and mostly wear it to parties so I cannot tell how true the 8 hour claim is but from my experience with various liquid lipsticks that I have tried I can say it is a long lasting one as it survives Indian party meals nicely.Do I need to say anything more? It stays properly for 5+ hours.It slightly comes off from inner centre but not in a very embarrassing manner which most of my previous liquid lipsticks have made me feel.Since it is slightly budges I just chap my lips to even it out in that case.

My ratings:5/5
Overall I would say it one of the most comfortable matte formula's I have tried.The staying power is extremely good and the quality is top notch.It would not dry out lips, flake, bleed nor feather.With amazing pigmentation the shade is deep red which would suit all skin tones beautifully.You get for what you pay. Highly Recommended!
