It’s time to go back to those lip glosses reviews. 🙂 Pure lip gloss is included in Smashbox Naked Beauty Lip gloss collection for summer 2010. The collection includes 8 mini lip glosses and it’s available in a limited edition @Smashbox for the price of $25.00.
If you are into natural lip colors then you will definitely like this color.
Today I’m gonna review Pure lip gloss which is actually a juicy melon shade, very shiny a lot more pigmented than the other glosses from this collection. You can actually get that watermelon color on your lips. Is not actually my favorite color from the entire collection because it contains also red tones so you can see is more like a reddish pink shade, which can be great for those of you looking for new red lip glosses in summer colors.
It looks more pigmented in the tube than it does on the lips but at least is still brings out some color to your lips comparing to some of the shades included in the same collection that are very sheer.
Although I’m not crazy about the color I love the effect of “wet lips” brought by this super glossy shine. 🙂
I guess the color is pretty pigmented considering the collection is called Naked Beauty all the shades supposed to be natural and sheer. Do you like this shade? Would wear this kind of color on your lips? 🙂

Getting to the part where it suppose to be long lasting, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep it on your lips more than 2-3 hours, that’s of course if you are not having something to eat during than time. Being part of the Mini Lip Gloss collection I must tell you this is one tiny lip gloss. The tube has only 1.40 ml (0.04 fl. oz) of product to offer.
The applicator is small as well, but provides a great application, spreads the gloss evenly without leaving lines on my lips.
I hope this review was helpful for you and I would really love to know if this shade is one that you are usually wearing on your lips. If not, I would still love to know your opinion about it so don’t be shy to leave any comments. 🙂

That looks so pretty! I usually don’t think the wet look suits my face and I’m more of a lipstick kinda girl but on you it looks really good! 🙂 Also thank you so much for the FF on Twitter 🙂
Thank you Ebru! I like lip glosses with wet look but I wished for a pinkish color. 🙂
[…] I would say it’s more like a coral mixed with light reddish brown. It has the same texture as Pure Lip Gloss and if you like the juicy wet lips look than this is for you.For me wearing this color was […]
This looks so pretty…so very juicy kinda lips…perfect summer!
The texture is super…I like how it shines especially on a sunny day 🙂
I like the color,and even when I’m not really a fan of these wet looking lipglosses this looks great:D
What kind of lip glosses do you usually wear? 🙂
This looks so pretty and glossy, I love it!
Hi Gio! Have you tried any Smash lip gloss?
I do like the shade and it is my favorite one from this collection 😀 And you have really beautiful lips! 😉
Thanks Vesna! I think I’m the only one here who didn’t like Pure and Natural lip glosses. 🙂
Hi Tavia,
Loving the colour on your lips. You’re always tempting me to head over to Sephora and just buy the entire range of lip gloss from Smashbox already.
I am madly in love with this color and cannot find it anywhere! I got in a a gift set and would love it in full size but they just don’t make it as far as I know. If anyone has any info, please do share. I have very fair skin and super dark hair and the warm pink shade is just the right amount of color for my colorless lips. Every time I wear someone asks me what I’m wearing. I even had a make-up artist ask me. It’s really my perfect shade. Too bad it no longer exists 🙁
Hi Lacie! Honestly I don’t think you can find this set anymore because it was a Limited Edition specially for Smashbox Summer 2010 collection. Hopefully they will release a new one next year. Keep your eyes on Smashbox. 🙂
It looks great on your lips!!
