I love a beautiful bright lip gloss so I wanted to try the relatively new Be Legendary gloss from Smashbox. It was really hard picking a shade because there are so many pretty colors! In the end I decided I would be happy with Knockout a really pretty fuchsia pink like shade. The first time I put Knockout on I said OH YES to myself in the mirror. It’s just that pretty!
This gloss is a little bit sticky but has a lot of pigment which I love. Because it’s kinda sticky it does stay put which I like. I don’t like touching up a lot during the day. That’s just annoying. Since this is also a lip stain I can get a lot of time out of this. Once the glossy finish is gone you are left with color and this doesn’t fade badly either which is nice. It faded evenly on my lips so I didn’t need to even touch up unless I wanted the glossiness back. There also isn’t any smell or taste to this lacquer either. And the way it looks…I really love that!
One coat and it’s opaque. Very nice. This lacquer is pricy at $24 a tube but if you get a color you love and will use often I think you might be happy with this. Check it out at Sephora or Ulta or wherever you have access to Smashbox products and swatch the shades. There are twenty shades in all so there is a lot to choose from.

WHAT IT IS:
Say hello to the next-generation of lip color, BE LEGENDARY LONG WEAR LIP LACQUER—the new boundary-pushing formula that delivers maximum high-lacquered color with major comfort—all day long.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
A proprietary triplex of 1) vibrant staining pigments, 2) glossy-finish pearls and 3) conditioning vitamin E. Our formula pushes saturated, long-wearing color to the limit by literally maxing out the amount of staining pigments we could blend in. (This way, hi-res photos pop with true color.) Then by mixing it with glossy-finish pearls and conditioning vitamin E, you get a velvety, lacquer-like finish that stays put without feeling tacky or drying. HOW TO USE IT:
One smooth, comfortable coat will have your lips covered with color to the max, from A.M. to after-hours. No sad, patchy fading. No mid-day disappearing act. No annoying dry feeling.
These are good and I want more colors *head palm*. I didn’t realize that these area lip lacquer then a lip stain vs a regular gloss. Used the Mega Op palette for a couple of weeks and kind of forgot how much I love their shadows. Smashbox will always have a special place in my makeup heart.
I love Smashbox shadows. I have been eye balling that big shadow set Ulta has from them for the holidays! I can’t though….I just can’t!
Pretty color!!!
I’m gonna look for this! So pretty!
It’s a great shade! I hope you like it!
Loved how this looked in your YouTube video! Thought it was a lipstick!
It’s so unbelievable that it’s a gloss!
I just picked up this gloss in ultra violet. It’s gorgeous!
That one is beautiful!
I can’t get over how beautiful this color is! Are there any other colors you picked up?
No but I’m thinking about changing that!
