Smashbox + Vlada Be Legendary Petal Metal Liquid Lip ($24) in Petal Metal, Rose Magic, and XO, Valda are three limited edition metallic liquid lipsticks that launched in collaboration with lip artist Vlada Haggerty earlier this month.
How cool would it be if these were eyeshadows" That was the first thought I had when I opened the box and slipped out the shade Rose Magic. The shades are very intense and rich in the barrel and have the look of liquid metal.
I am very guilty of purchasing all three shades and I do regret the purchase since I am so NOT a fan of metallic lipglosses or lipsticks. It’s a rare day I favor a metallic finish on my lips and I thought for sure these might change my mind but they didn’t. The formula is quite lovely though!
Smashbox + Vlada Be Legendary Petal Metal Liquid Lip arrive in gorgeous limited edition packaging with rose gold caps that have a blooming rose on the tip. Each barrel holds 0.27 oz of lipstick which makes these the same price and same size as the permanent line of Be Legendary Liquid Lips.
The colors are really bold, rich, and intense but not quite the rose golds I imagined. Rose Magic is described as a metallic rust rose gold but I personally think it’s more a burnt orange-y copper, Petal Metal is described as a metallic rose gold but on my lips the shade pulls more of a beige champagne, and XO, Vlada is described as metallic bronze warm gold which I agree with.

These are beautiful, true metallic lip shad...
