Hey cheekys!
Whatcha up to? I have a sore throat, boo hoo. I just had some Hot and Sour Soup but sadly that didn’t help much. Oh wells at least I’m sporting my Smashbox Sunset BLVD Lip Gloss and congratulating myself for getting it on the cheap.
Jump!
So I seen these little guys on Smashbox for $12 each during the Smashbox Friends and Family Event. They were in and out of my cart for a little while and finally I just said screw it, I don’t need more gloss.
I went on my merry little way and forgot about them. Recently, I decided to search them up on Evil-Bay and ended up killing it by snagging four shades for $9.99 and free shipping.
w00t!
Niceness.
If you want them after this review def check out E-bay as I seen a few more deals hanging around for them.
Smashbox Sunset BLVD Lip Gloss is the equivalent of a MAC TenderTone but considerably more pigmented and a heavier formula. First glance I thought they’d be quite sheer but I’m happy to report they have a nice little pop of color, mind you not amazing pigmentation but just enough to make your lips look pouty and gorgeous.
The formula is pretty dense and thick which I don’t mind as I really like a thicker gloss. It wears quite well without being sticky or tacky. I’ve always wished MAC Tendertones were better pigmented and thicker, my wish granted with these glosses.
Overall, they may be a turn off to those who aren’t keen on dipping into a pot of gloss, I’m trying to deal with that myself but honestly the price was right and the formula is quite lovely. Super shine, nice glossy finish, and great color pay off makes the Muse a happy girl indeed.
Smashbox Sunset BLVD Lip Gloss it’s a good thing.
Snag ‘em at Smashbox for $12 each (Free Shipping too) or my suggestion, head to E-bay and see what you can score.

I just bought Simmer when they were offering the free eyeliner palette. Love it! Wishing I had also gotten Melt…
kristina simmer is nice
I’m loving these, nice texture/formula 
look on ebay, cheaps!
They look really really nice! ^__^
How do these compare with the L’Oreal Hip Jelly Balms? Are these moisturizing?
hi mandy!
just as nice as the jelly balms but heavier formula and more pigmented 
quite moisturizing yes 
I really like Sexy and Melt. I may have to check them out. I always liked most pot glosses for their texture and wear.
me too mc the pot freaks me out but some of the best ones are in a pot
Lime juice + loads of honey. Works for sore throats.
thank you electronicfly I surely will try it
I go for honey but never heard of lime!
ohmy! That’s a great deal! searched on it, found it and put it on watching =D I have too many things I want to buy, so I’M not sure when I’ll get to the point to buy thins, but damn, thank you for recommending!
hey mary good looking hun!
you’re most welcome hunny!
Sexy & Simmer would look hot layered on top of each other! I also like Melt, it`s such a nice tone. I think Heat is a little peachy/pink for me. I think I may purchase from Smashbox this Christmas! I`m so excited because I`m getting a new make-up collection because all my make-up are a couple months old, but really used up! Oh btw, saving Muse alert!! You need to edit this post (if you can), it says Hot and Sour “soap” but I’m pretty sure you meant “soup”
hey kathie
these are super nice, good idea on combo’ing sexy and simmer 
LOL thanks yes, I was a bit tired and sick when I typed Soap LOL!!!!!!! 
thanks dearest.
Btw wait until after the holidays as lots of savings on boxing day makeup included i’m sure!
Oh, Man! I bought one in Melt back in the spring, loved it like a little pink child, then promptly lost it 2 months later when I left a piece of luggage on a train- in France. I had sort of forgotten about it until now. I’m gonna hafta go get that again.
LOL chelle! you sound like me
omg I’d die if I lost luggage, that’s the worst experience!
