I really hate sponge tip lip gloss applicators. I'd pay extra for a brush. ...I love, love, love this lip gloss! It's great and nicely tints your lips.
What it is:
A light and airy gloss with vibrant color and a glassy, non-sticky finish for a mirror-like shine.
What it does:
Inspired by photo gels found on set, Smashbox created this glassy gloss with a clear, hydrating base free of traditional heavy binders for a non-sticky finish. Then they infused the formula slowly with vibrant pigments using a careful mixing process for an ultrarefined pigmentation in which all of the gloss ingredients are perfectly dispersed. The result is a superlight, comfortable blend that you can hardly feel, but that still leaves a bold wash of gorgeous colorjust like a photo gel.
