Smashbox!

I go through phases with most things in life especially when it comes to shopping and brands. One month H and M is hot and I can't stop shopping there then it's Topshop and so on.The same goes for make-up, last month was YSL but this month its...

Smashbox. It's my latest obsession. Since picking up their gorgeous Pout lipgloss before going on holiday in August I've become addicted to their counter at my local Debenhams.

Here are a few of my faves.

The Blushes

I currently own two but on my next shopping trip I definately want to pick up some more, they are such great quality and gorgeous colours.

They are finely milled and incredibly soft to touch, like velvet. I can't believe I ever thought blushes by the likes of Mac and Nars were so good, these are amazing.

The colour payoff is great and a little goes a long way. You bearly have to tap the brush on the surface to get the right amount of product unlike others I own that I practically have to scrape at to get any on the brush.

Chiffon and Flush

I love both the colours I have, Chiffon is a beautiful peach with a subtle gold shimmer which leaves your skin with a healthy pinch of colour and radiant glow!

Flush is such an unusual colour and I think probably my favourite blush ever. It's a gorgeous baby blue toned pink, the cool undertones really stop me looking flushed.

Chiffon (L) and Flush (R)

I also made a surprise discovery with the packaging. A few weeks after having these babies in my drawer I noticed a small button on the back and found a cute swivel mirror was hiding underneath, great for on the go touch-ups.

Mascara
This is their DNA mascara, as the name suggests a scientifically enhanced eyelash wonder!

When I bought this I had no idea about it's eyelash enhancing and repairing properties but was gripped by the HUGE brush.

The fat wand is shaped like a double helix and the formulation has been developed containing proteins and amino acids to condition and repair lashes. Now, I do not by any means claim that this makes any difference, it would be impossible to measure but I do know this mascara gives me longer and voluminous lashes.

Last but not least is the product that caused my recent obsession, below is Pout.

This lip enhancing gloss looks so pretty in the tube that it's one I reach for practically every day. It isn't the best lipgloss I've tried but it isn't half bad.

The colour is gorgeous, a lovely blue toned pink but the colour pay off could be better, I have to apply a lot to get the desired colour. The formulation is nice, it's non sticky and goes on smoothly, no patchiness atal.

I like pairing it with Revlon's Matte lipstick in Pink Pout.

I'm also interested in trying some more Smashbox products, so beauty bloggers whats good?!
