Re: Anyone use Smashbox
Some of the things in the brand are very good. Their softlights powders (similar to beauty powders), lipglosses, and of course primer are nice. I haven't tried the highlighter.

Re: Anyone use Smashbox
I agree with frocher. Certain things from the line are great. Others suck. I like the lipgloss, fusion lights, skin tint, brow tech, and brushes.

Re: Anyone use Smashbox
I have the highlighter quad, which came in the 'Bombshell Collection' that was sold at Costco a couple of months ago. It came with two shades of lipstick in a palette with a brush and three glosses. Although the quad comes with for 'colors' they are very sheer, and I think they remind me of the Revlon illuminance cream eyeshadows or the MAC Cream Color Bases, but these are much more sheer since they are meant to use as highlighters. If you are a fan of a more pigmented look, this quad is a bit sheer, but I like using it as a base for eye makeup and even lipglosses. If you like a natural look it is a good quad. In general I like Smashbox products for a natural look.

Re: Anyone use Smashbox
Hey no prob MsCuppyCakes!! You got yourself the most versatile part of the kit! Have fun with using it as a base, highlighter, and even (on your 'au naturale' days) luminescent sheer color!

One more thing: Smashbox foundation primers are TDF!!! You have to try them. Even works on my sensitive skin!

Re: Anyone use Smashbox
Does anyone have the Platinum Surge Kit? It's on sale for $39. I ordered it for days I need to grab some colors and go (which is never). But, I've never tried their lip glosses or cheek products, so I'm excited.

Re: Anyone use Smashbox
Actually, I really don't like Smashbox. I have tried their glosses and cream eyeliners, and I didn't like either. I wouldn't buy from them again.
