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 😉
