I am a
sucker for the perfect, matte red.
Always in search of it, I want something classic, bold, and comfortable
on my lips. Well, I think I found it.
I can’t be
the one who has noticed the sheer number of YouTuber collaborations hitting the
shelves lately. Personally I don’t follow too many of the bigger channels—I love
reading the blogs of fellow members of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers Network,
and supporting friends in ipsyOS by engaging with their content, but the huge
channels? Other than RachhLoves and Madison Miller… not so much. With all of
the recent collabs (Nikki Tutorials x Too Faced, Jaclyn Hill x Becca, Swamp
Girl x Tarte…etc) it can be hard to keep track. When I evaluate a collaboration
product I want to see that the product its self is high quality. I don’t care
who is promoting it, I care about how it looks on me and how it wears on me. So
with that being said… let’s get into the review!
I will
admit that I have never, until researching for this post, heard of Lily Singh. However,
after flipping through a few of her videos I likes what I saw!
This
lipstick is a matte, true red. The formula is just as comfortable and just as
easy to wear as any other colour in this product range, so bonus points to
Smashbox for not skimping out on that! I found that this wore a solid six hours
on me before I had a salad with an oil based dressing for dinner. Even then, it
only faded in the centre. It was budge proof, and I found it easily to apply
using the spade shaped applicator. It deposits the perfect amount of product to
cover my lips so that it dries down pretty quickly.
I think
this colour is perfect for fall and as we head into the holidays. I really
enjoyed wearing this with a big blanket scarf, but I think it will also look
beautiful with a glittering eyeshadow look at a fancy holiday party.
This
product retails for $28 and can be purchased at Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart.
I have a whole pile of Shoppers points so I would love to add more of these to
my collection!
PS—So I
didn’t even KNOW that this was a collab with Lily Singh when I first saw it.
Legit, I thought it was just a powerful red colour that was a total “Boss”
colour to wear.
PSS—I am
typing this post on a moving Via Train and there is just no way to do it
easily. I am making so many typos! Def will have to edit this when I get home
tonight. #LongDistanceGirlfriendLife
