Now I discovered Lily Singh on YouTube years ago, back when she wasn't a huge mega star. I LOVED her videos! She was so funny and relatable. She has such a positive vibe and I love what she stands for. So when I heard she collaborated with Smashbox, I knew I had to have it. Yes I already have multiple reds. I wasn't too big a fan of the color either from swatches I saw online but I was so crazy I wanted it just because it was hers! And I heard amazing stuff about the new Smashbox liquid lipstick formula. But I could've picked any color, perhaps something I didn't already have but that's exactly what I ended up doing! So I finally got to try BAWSE! Read on to find out if I made a mistake getting yet another red or not…

Go with sheer, dewy foundation, creamy blush, and a hint of shimmer on your lids. If you're going with a bold lip color, balance it out with well-defined brows and dark, thick lashes.

In Detail Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick Bawse Review, Swatches and My Experience
Because of the really good reviews I saw of this formula, I had high hopes for this liquid lipstick. The price tag was higher so I was a little reluctant to get it but it was stuck in my head so I caved in and luckily a friend arranged it for me directly from the US so no extra shipping charges!
Now onto the liquid lipstick itself. I wore it for the first time on my birthday this year. And I fell in love with it! The formula was comfortable and long lasting and the color wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. I usually like red with neutral undertones or with pink or berry ones, not orange. It was brighter than I had hoped but I can work with. But because it's a little bright and I'm into more muted colors nowadays, I don't wear it as often!
I love the pretty packaging. The wand is even unique and helps with more precise application which is super important with liquid lipsticks! It's not too big either so perfect for on the go! And it's full opaque on one swipe!

Here's the wear test
Freshly applied
After 4-5 hours
(Inclusive of eating and drinking) – Some of the product moved from the inner ring of the lips, but it wasn't very obvious with my mouth closed. It remained pretty much intact otherwise!
Here is the smudge test
Freshly Swatched
Left – Under water pressure
The color didn't budge or bleed
Right – When rubbed
a bit of the color smudged but remained intact for the most part

Cons of Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick Bawse
1. If its layered on thick, it flakes and crumbles
2. Pricey
3. Doesn't fade evenly
MBF Advises
1. Lip prep is very important. Scrub your lips and then apply a lip balm to moisturize!
2. Use the point of the applicator to first outline your lips
3. Fill in the middle until evenly covered
4. Apply a thin layer otherwise it will crumble
MBF Rating
4 / 5
Finally, I'm really glad I bought this and got to try out the formula. It's definitely one of the better ones out there. That being said the price that leaves little to be desired and you can get good formulas of liquid lipsticks with a smaller price tag! It's worth trying out though and I would recommend these to anyone! I might get another shade in the future if I find one to be unique!
Hope this review was helpful! Feel free to ask any further questions. Have you tried this product? Let me know your thoughts!
Have a great day beautiful <3

Hello lovelies!
After trying out two Hermes Matte Lipstick shades and loved them, I was ready for one more. So I bought Hermes Rose Boise Matte Lipstick because it looks like an universal wearable shade that I can wear from day to night. Honestly if I want to keep it more casual I'm just gently patting it on my lips and I get a beautiful everyday look but something more than just your ordinary nude lipstick.

Hermes Rose Boise Matte Lipstick Review
Hermes Rose Boise (48) is a medium ($67.00 / £58.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-deep rosewood with very soft warm undertones and a satin-matte finish. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, which applied somewhat evenly but I felt the need of applying a second layer. I'm a cool toned skin so I really enjoyed wearing this subtle rosewood shade but I think it's an universal flattering shade. I saw Hermes Rose Boise on different skin colors and it looks beautiful.
The texture was smooth, velvety and very thin and lightweight. It did tends to emphasize my lip lines a bit if you look closely but is not noticeable from a normal distance. In the beginning the sensation is comfortable but after 2-3 hours wear I get a slightly drying sensation. It's not something that would require a lip balm or a gloss applied on top right away but I do sense the lack of moisture.
I appreciate the velvety finish and this beautiful, universal flattering color which can be worn on a daily basis. Even though the formula was pleasant I had some issues with the application. Make sure to check out my SWATCHES highlight section from my Instagram page where I saved several videos from Instastories. I've talked about how this lipstick looks after a few applications. It had some tiny beads that I noticed on the lipstick bullet after a few applications so I did a close-up video.
After I posted these videos I got many replies from people having either similar issues or that the lipstick melted or broke after a few uses. Some of them even tried to keep it in the fridge but hey once you put it in your bag and it's hot outside what can you do. If I'm paying this excruciating price for this lipstick I want all the perks so the lipstick bullet become soft or having these tiny beads is not something that I would like to see. Of course there were those who didn't have any issue whatsoever with this lip color but I felt compelled to tell you about my experience.
I have other shades of Hermes lipsticks and I didn't have this issue with them. Take a look at my review for Hermes Rose Velours & Rouge Casaque Rouge Matte Lipsticks (lip swatches, makeup look).
It wore well for about five hours and it was slightly drying over time.

Now look at the difference between my bare lips and how they look when I'm wearing Rose Boise lipstick. The finish is not completely matte as you can see but it does turn matter over time.
Hermes Rose Boise Matte Lipstick Makeup Look
This is the first makeup look where I wore Hermes Rose Boise Matte Lipstick but I posted more looks on my Instagram page (check highlights section).
Matt Look Lipstick Review
I used this pretty color of Clinique Pink Pop Cheek Pop blush applied very softly and paired with Urban Decay Naked Ultraviolet Palette(review, live swatches) on my eyes. To emphasize my eyes a little bit more I used Chanel Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner (upcoming review) on my waterline.
I didn't wear any foundation or concealer on this day because it was super hot outside. For days like this I prefer to keep it simple and apply only Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Moisturiser SPF 30 (review, ingredients). This product provides a very sheer veil of color that helps even out my skin tone (in very natural way) and gives me a matte finish.
Matte Look Lipstick
In order to smooth out my lines and wrinkles I applied a thin layer of Deciem Hylamide HA Blur (review) which is more than just a primer. It does an excellent job at keep my complexion matte and smooth looking throughout the day even under these crazy hot temperatures. If you live in a hot and humid climate this baby can be your holy grail. It's inexpensive so it's worth giving it a try.
