Smashbox Fairplay, Gets It, Fanmail Be Legendary Lipsticks

Fairplay

Smashbox Fairplay Be Legendary Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a very light lavender with a strong white base paired with a satin finish. It was supposed to be matte, but it definitely took a couple of hours for the shine to wear it down to more of a matte finish in my experience.

The Be Legendary formula is supposed to have “rich, vibrant color” that is long-wearing and moisturizing. The consistency was smooth, creamy, and non-tacky but still emollient enough to glide across the lips with ease. It was comfortable to wear for the four and a half hours it lasted, and I felt like it kept my lips hydrated. The consistency was smooth without being too firm in the tube, so it didn’t drag and applied fairly evenly to my lips. The biggest issue I had with this shade was that it tended to look “cracked” as the color pulled apart noticeably wherever I had stronger lip lines. It lasted for three hours on me before fading unevenly enough that it would need a reapplication. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

Gets It

Smashbox Gets It Be Legendary Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, light-medium pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. The consistency was smooth, velvety without being powdery or dry, so it glided across the lips without tugging. It had mostly opaque color coverage and a medium thickness, which did make the color more prone to pooling in my lip lines (mostly the bottom, deeper ones). It lasted for four hours on me and was just a touch hydrating.

Fanmail

Smashbox Fan Mail Be Legendary Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, lavender pink with warm undertones and a natural finish with fine pearl. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a moderately emollient texture that felt slippery on the lips, so it showed “lines” if I pressed my lips together and gathered in some of my lip lines. I think the brightness of the hue made it harder to notice from a normal viewing distance, though. This shade wore nicely for four and a half hours and was moisturizing.
