This is my first Smashbox product and I got this Always On Mini DUO X Sobhita-Bawse in the Nykaa Pink Sale for INR 990.
The DUO contains 2 lipstick in the shade Gula-BAE which is by Indian actress Sobhita D and Bawsee by the very famous Lily Singh .
Both of these are liquid lipstick that comes in a clear plastic tube with a black cap and the color of the shade is clearly visible.
This was by far the best purchase that I made in the Nykaa Sale.
Now coming at the colors and formula.
The texture/formula is smooth and creamy, no complaints, it doesn’t feel like you are wearing any lipstick. Although it claims to be transfer proof but they do transfer, they are extremely light and glides on beautifully. Also the applicator and color pay off is perfect. I haven’t worn it that long to comment about the longevity, but if I do I will update on this post.
The shade Gula-BAE was highly promoted last year , stating that this one color is created just for all Indian Skin tone. It is a really nice everyday wear cool-rose shade more on the mauvy side, whereas Bawse on the other hand is a universally flattering deep red which I really like. It gives you that Bossy vibes..If you know what I mean 😉 ;).
Only downside is ,each of the lipstick has only 0.9ml of the product which is extremely less and the shade Gula-BAE I do not think it will look that appealing on warmer skin tones as its more on the cool side.
To wrap up, I would definitely purchase a full size of the Bawse shade rather than Gula-BAE ,but for 990/- if you are ready to splurge then I would suggest you can go for the DUO.
Till next time,
XOXO <3
