Usually I would credit YSL with being my favourite cosmetics brand but it is in serious danger of being taken over by Smashbox as I am loving them at the moment. Some of their items are so ingenious such as the eyeliner palette above. It is the size of a credit card and you get all of those different coloured cream liners. They apply so much better (for me personally) than Mac's fluidline as my eyes are very dry, so the gel just goes clumpy. These stay on for me all day and are super pigmented, they come in some really cool grey and brown colours too. See it here where it costs £18.50
I have also been loving these four lipglosses from the Smashbox Rapture Lipgloss Set, they come in a set of six but I didn't like the other two so they have been relegated!
I love that they are mini and are perfect for slinging in my handbag for work as they aren't too pigmented and the Illume looks stunning over Mac Myth and Eve Pearl Nude Beach lipsticks.
And the last thing is an eyeshadow trio I have been wearing almost all week for work, the lightest colour is such a gorgeous highlight without being glittery and the darkest colour is gorgeous on the lid and as a liner, i have been using it pressed over the cream liner in the darkest brown colour for a lovely shimmery look.
Apologies for lack of EOTD, I had a contact lens tearing incident so I have a rather red eye at the moment!
All of these items are from Ultimate Beauty Gems and Ria is also doing a special offer at the moment which you might be interested in. She is selling a lot of brand new boxed Molton Brown makeup for under £10.00 if you want to have a look the link is here Sale items at Ultimate Beauty Gems
I would love it if you told me your Smashbox favourites - I think I *need* some blushes and lipglosses....need being the operative word ;)

I was only just looking at the Smashbox counter in debenhams on Tuesday - I haven't tried any of their products before but they look very promising! The eyeliner palette and lipglosses certainly do look lovely :) x
I now have a huge WANT for everything there. Those eyeliners look amazing! x
Smashbox eyeliners are really good. I have had the cream palettes and individual ones before and they are really good. I like the fat eyeliner brush they do and always use it.
I like smashbox cosmetics i think it was the very first line i ever used when i was getting into makeup i had a nice mommy for spending that much on me lol ;) it isn't cheap but it lasts so long- I particullary like those eyeliners such gorgeous colours and very versatile but the winner for me their is the gorgeous eyeshadow pallete i love those colours & wow look at the pigmentation i need it now ;) thanks for the enabling x
Smashbox es mi marca preferida en sombras...besos
There is no MAC near me but there is a Smashbox counter, I've become quite attached to them. I think all of their products are fab!
wow some lovely colors these are and they look awesome!
I've had great luck with every Smashbox eyeshadow I've purchased. :)
They seem to be the smoothest/easiest to apply out of all my shadows.
Their face primer is not bad as well, and I recently ordered two lipgloss shades from them - Pop and Sand - which are gorgeous colors. (a pink & a nude.)
Hope the rest of your week goes well, contact tears suck :(
I've been wanting that eyeliner set for forever! It looks amazing. Want it even more now.
