It's a Mood

Smashbox It’s a Mood Be Legendary Prime and Plush Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep plum with cool undertones and a cream finish. The color payoff was semi-opaque with some translucency that didn’t seem to go away when I tried to build up the coverage.

The lipstick had a lighter-weight feel with moderate slip, though I didn’t experience feathering personally. It applied fairly evenly but seemed to be sheerer on the inner areas of my lips. This shade lasted nicely for five hours, left a faint stain behind, and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.14 oz. - $171.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "creamy" texture with "rich, pigment-packed color." The textures were smooth, creamy with light slip, and comfortable to apply in a fluid motion as they did not tug. Some shades were more satiny in their creaminess, while a couple felt more emollient and would likely benefit from a lip liner for better wear, though I did not experience any shades feathering/bleeding on me.

The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque with more shades being closer to opaque than not. They were typically buildable and weren't prone to emphasizing lip texture or gathering in my deeper lip lines. The lipstick wore between four and six hours and was hydrating while worn.

The formula had a faint, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste. I almost thought it was fragrance-free when I first tried to smell it as it was that faint.

Poolside

Smashbox Poolside Be Legendary Prime and Plush Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, lighter fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a satiny sheen. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, though there was some translucency there.

The consistency felt lightly emollient, lightweight, and a touch thinner with less creaminess than other shades in the range. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating over time.
