Product Review: Smashbox Lip Tech

smashbox-liptech-1
Smashbox Cosmetics is known for being a step ahead the rest when it comes to the latest trends.  And their newest line of lip gloss is straight from the runways of Fashion Week. Lip Tech, a satin matte gloss loaded with Vitamin E, gives you a sheer application of color without the sticky, heavy feeling you can get from other glosses and lipsticks. These glosses come in four neutral shades: Nude, Sangria, Peony and Maple that are perfect if you are into this seasons neutral/bare lip look.

The packaging of this product is great as it comes in a small mirrored compact with a silicone tipped applicator that is shaped like an eye shadow brush. The silicone helps ensure that you will get an even smooth application every time and is a little more hygienic than using your fingers. Lip Tech is a delicate balance between a lip gloss and a lipstick.  It has a little more color than most glosses, but I wouldn’t call it a lipstick either because its not nearly as drying as a lipstick. I tried it with using both my fingers and the applicator and while I didn’t think it would help, the applicator does make it easier with a lot less mess.

The look of Lip Tech is also different as it is definitely not as shiny as a regular gloss and worn without lip liner, is a super natural look on the lips that is still extremely soft. For a more intense look, apply a nude liner to your entire lip before the gloss as this will also give the gloss some more lasting power. Smashbox may be onto something with this semi-matte gloss but please, if you are going to use a darker lip liner, make sure you blend them together well or you could end up with only a dark outline after a few hours.
