I bought 2 lip glosses, a crease brush (which i've been meaning to get for about a year!), & a blush. The shades of the glosses are Afterglow & Fame. Afterglow is a soft, every-day, every-eye shade-kinda color; basically it's a soft peach with some shine. Fame is more of a burnt rose which I wasn't as crazy about. I'd say it's more of a color for the evening or going to a nice dinner, not for going to the club or something like that. But evening shades are always something that's good to have. Right? Of course.
Now for the blush, I absolutely love blush, first of all. I can never find the shades that I really want, though, so I was very excited when I tested this shade. It's called Soft Lights PRISM. If you know me personally, you'll know that I have a doll-like look that I do more times than none, (it must be pretty spot on since I always get compliments that i look like a doll). That being said, it's a very pink, almost shimmery / powder shade. It's hard to explain, but when you put it on, you'll think to yourself "doll." Trust me.
Now, let's get more into a raw, honest review. Personally, overall i'm not the biggest fan of Smashbox. Ever since I can remember, they've just had a very basic, almost essential collection of products. They don't seem to push for creations, or that creative edge that NARS or MAC has. I've read countless reviews on their foundations & primers and in summary to those, many girls said their skin broke out like crazy, or the primers just make their skin soft but doesn't fix the problem like it says it should, so that's disappointing, isn't it? Yes.
In conclusion, i'm happy with the few products I've bought, but I probably won't ever buy more than a lipgloss from Smashbox in the future.
Below are the pictures of the lipgloss ; Afterglow is the lighter shade & Fame is the darker.
Enjoy!
