the photo finish light is really good, they do a lipgloss called pout and its the most perfect baby pink with no shimmer x

Photo finish primer, Jet set waterproof liner in Bronze, the arced liner brush #21, the soft lights and fusion soft lights are awesome too.

I agree, the fusion soft lights are amazing. I have one in intermix and it's my favourite thing from Smashbox. I like their eyeshadows too. Zoom and frame I think. Zoom is a dupe for juxt, but I like zoom's texture and finish a lot more.

Softlights and the brushes are good. I like the lip scrub as well.

you know, i really like their matte eye shadows (way more than mac). the color pay off is great and they're SO much easier to blend

I love their cream eyeliner palette because the colours are really good and its a really slim palette great for travel etc...

I love their photo finish lipsticks.
They have something called Sila-silk technology (sp?) and they're so creamy and moisturizing
they come in cream shimmer and sheer
i have elegant (which is sheer) and exquisite (cream) and i LOVE them

Pout is GORGEOUS. I own about 10 tubes of it.
The color is like an opaque light bright pink... almost like an amplified cream.
Love it!

I am a huge fan of their brushes. I actually prefer Smashbox brushes to many of my MAC brushes!

Anyone tried their Anti-Shine? I've heard it's great for keeping the oil slicks away.

I agree with the above posters. Their softlights, lipgloss and brushes are very nice.

I have a question about Pout. I know they released it with special packaging as part of the Pussycat Dolls collection. I got really bad reviews on Makeup Alley so I thought I'd pass on it. But, I love those soft pastel pinks. How does it compare to Melrose Mood?

Im a huge fan of 2 lines of brushes - NARS and Smashbox. i absolutely love smashbox - the red handle is really cute. i have the big fluffy powder one (super super soft), the crease one (big and fluffy, great for blending), concealor and eyeliner.

my HG everyday lipstick is Charming. i have 2 backups. really great even without gloss on top. i wear lots of smokey eyes so this goes perfect, but even without dramatic eyes its a cute pinky nude that looks great all day everyday. very versatile and it has a yummy vanilla sweet taste

their e/s is cool too. some of the colors are great, but thats not to say you cant find dupes. im sure you can.
