Re: Must have items from Smashbox
I'm falling in love w/ their eye shadow singles, really good color selection/variety, excellent texture for several, really good texture overall; Brazilian bronze, zoom, flamingo, honey, platinum, safari, serpent, torch, 24K are standouts. The only disappointment for me was Lagoon, which looks like a dupe for the darker shade in the NARS Cleo duo, but the shimmer doesn't show up as nicely. Serpent is a pearlier dupe of NARS Fuji, and is in the same family as Stila la douce & Lancome designer, Torch is like NARS Taj Mahal blush in an eyeshadow. Packaging is very sleek & upscale, but I think a flip top lid rather than a screw top would work better. Ulta.com has better/truer to life pics of the shadows than Sephora.

Re: Must have items from Smashbox
I will have to agree with the Soft Lights - Intermix. It creates a radiant look and it is very hard to overdo.

Has anyone tried the o-gloss and is it worth it?

Just use if you have O glow then no. Just use it with some gloss on top. If you don't and you like that berry hot pink type of colour then yes. But it's only worth having one of the two.

Re: Must have items from Smashbox
I'm so excited to try Smashbox!
I don't own any of their products, so yesterday I placed an order for their Faces of Fashion Kit from the Shopping Channel.
I can't wait to get it! I've always wanted to try their primer, so luckily this kit includes it.

smashbox Faces of Fashion Kit #2 - Beauty - The Shopping Channel

I got it for $49.96, it was the Showstopper yesterday... I think it was a pretty good deal, esp since it comes with 2 of their brushes.

I was watching that yesterday too. I was tempted to get it but decided I shouldn't.

How about their blushes? Are they worth the money?

I ordered (from QVC) the Jet Set Waterproof Shadow Liner in Hollywood. It comes with an awesome smudge brush. I LOVE this stuff! The color is the most gorgeous bronzey brown shimmer - the perfect shade.

Yeah, it's pretty good. Great way to try out a variety of products from the line.
I love the lipstick, normally I never wear lipstick but I can't get enough of this one! I think it's called Charming.. the gloss is pretty to layer with the l/s, but it has the worst smell to it! Maybe it's just mine, but I seriously thought it had gone bad when it when I first tried it. It's like cinnamon but not in a good way. hmmm.
