Smashbox

The worst primer ever!! Total greaseball two hours after applying. Too much silicone!

For years and years I have been searching for the perfect foundation and finally this came along! Blends beautifully into my skin, long wear time, color stays true, doesn't dry out my already dry skin, natural looking. I love this foundation!!

This is my first Smashbox eye shadow palette and I adore this cute little guy! The shades to me which are all lovely lean cool to neutral with some warmth too. So I think most people could use these shades. I love the two mattes in this palette they are so silky smooth! They blend super easy too. I always use primer so I cannot say how these work without it but these shadows are really good. The 2 large I would say inner eye to brow bone if you like a little shimmer in your life shades. Opal Rose and Fresh Stem are such pretty duo's! The Opal shade has a white to pinky opal shift. Whereas Fresh Stem has almost like a very pale golden opal shift. Plus the shades themselves are so soft, buttery, and they go on so well!

The four metallics are very pigmented as well but I love the feel of these shadows! They have a very moisturizing feel if that makes sense? My 2 favorite colours are Rose Quartz and Floral Support. They are just lovely! They all have the rose gold vibe but they are just so pretty with my eye colour, NW20, Blonde hair, green eyes, and very cool undertones for reference. I find I can make all these shades work so I love that about them. Plus I get no kickback and they are very pigmented.

I've heard some of this collection is not so good while other items are great. I would classify this palette as excellent and I love it! I also love the 3-D cover and how all the shadows fit so nicely together. To me these shades are lovely and I think look pretty with my green eyes and I can see how these can suit so many others as well.It is really such a lovely little palette! Love :)

Like other reviewers, I used this more as a setting spray than a primer. It's not the "hairspray for your face" kind of spray but just something to set powder, bring everything together, etc. (I viewed it like Mac Fix+). It's fine for that purpose. I don't really like the scent when first applied but it dissipates quickly. The mist is good -- not too strong and not too fine that you have to spray a ton. The price is the main killer for me -- $32 (over $8/oz.) is not worth it for a product I don't love!

Was talked into buying this mascara at Sephora when I was asking for a mascara that covered all bases: length, volume, curl, definition, no smudging, no clumping, no flaking. Well this mascara succeeds in most of those categories. Where it falls short is volume. It actually comes through on all other fronts, even curling.

The brush is great. Small and delivers the mascara in a smooth even effort. Nice glossy black. I got a beautiful fanned effect just as the name suggested. But alas no volume. Decent price for high end at $22. Came off with cleansing oil and regular cleanser.
I would recommend if you can live without extreme volume.
