On my lips: Smashbox Doubletake Lip Color in Sugar Spice
This was actually on my lips yesterday so I decided to drop the LOTD in the title. The Doubletake Lip Color from Smashbox comes in the form of a pen. The pen has two sides and it contains a lip liner and a lip color. This is in the color "Sugar Spice"and according to Beuty411 this is the color that "Sookie Stackhouse" wears in True Blood Season 2. They call it the Smashbox Reign Doubletake Lip Color but "Sugar Spice" is not available in this line, so it can be a different color that the makeup artist uses.
The color of the liner is described as a spiced brown on the Smashbox website and the color part as a soft rosy brown. I can't see much of a difference in the two colors.
I am not to fond of this one. It is a nice neutral color but too dark for me. I have taken a photo with half of my lips painted to give you a better idea of how much darker it is than my lip color.
I also think it emphasizes the dryness of my lips and all the lines show up. I don't think you can see this on the picture but it doesn't apply evenly. Small flakes of color ends up on my lips. Of the two sides I prefer the lip liner color. It is a nice color and easy to apply and it works with some of the lipsticks that I own.
After I had taken this pictures I actually decided that my lips were way to dark so I blotted some of the color off with a tissue and applied my Korres Lip Butter in "Jasmine" over it. This made it in to a nice neutral color and a softer look.
