I love each of the colors, although I have to be in the right mood for any *really light* pink. And it was my bad, but I turned up Fuchsia Flash too high and pressed too hard while applying, so the lipstick broke off at the bottom. No biggie, because I just don&#8217;t turn it up so high or press so hard anymore, and I can still use it.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of by mistake, I discovered that these shades mix wonderfully. I applied a bit of each color (except for Pout) to different areas of my lips, rubbed my lips together, and was wowed at the result: a super pretty new color of its very own. I would love to do more mixing and matching with these lip colors once I have a bigger collection.<\/p>\n<p>The texture, consistency, and pigment level these lipsticks are uniquely perfect, and they smell nice, too. I would definitely recommend them as a gift, for yourself or someone else.<\/p>\n<p>xox,<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;\">The Lipstick Lady<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I definitely do not have enough Smashbox lipstick- -or Smashbox cosmetics in general, for that matter.
