Daily delight: Smashbox's new Lip Tech

I’ve never been great at wearing gloss – the stickiness factor doesn’t mesh well with my long locks – but love a lip stain. Most lip stains are a little drying however, and are best kept for night time looks when dim lighting helps cancel out any dryness and colour fade. Then across my desk comes Smashbox’s brand new Lip Tech, an ultramodern formula that delivers a gorgeous flush of weightless, creamy color that lasts all day long. With the longevity of a stain but with a nourishing, satin-matte feel, it is packed with Vitamin E and emollients to keep your pout pillowy as well as well covered, and it feels gorgeous to apply. The innovative, contoured silicone applicator is housed inside a mirrored compact to help you perfect your pout, and the whole kit and caboodle fits easily into a clutch or coat pocket. Magic! Oh, and it’s available in four scrumptious shades: Nude, Maple, Sangria and Peony.
* For even greater longevity, colour lips in first with a neutral shade
