I really enjoy Smashbox products. They have the most comfortable lip glosses on the planet, but I hadn't tried any of their other color products. I went to their website to check out their current collection and stock items. I would be remiss if I didn't share that their Radiance eye shadow kit and lip gloss sets are screaming deals. If you have any holes in your eye shadow or gloss wardrobes, those would shore it right up!
At the event, they tried hard to get me to participate as well. Normally I would be all in, but I had to work all night afterwards and didn't want as much of a face as they would have given me. I was content to watch my friend get painted and try to convince a woman to skip pantyhose with her new peep-toe purchase.
My favorite moment of the day came when my friend's artist finished and handed her the 3x magnifying mirror. The brief look of shock and abject horror as my friend saw how much makeup (albeit really beautifully done) had been loaded on was priceless. I know we gave the artist a complex because we were laughing so hard, but it had nothing to do with her.
While my friend purchased a kit that came with cream liners, I bought a Lip Brilliance trio in Transparencies (nude, sheer cranberry and sheer brick) and an eye shadow trio in Viewfinder (peach, olive and champagne). I have huge love for the Lip Brilliance. The double sided lip-brush that comes with it is a cute idea, but they are so stiff that they get too much product on them. I am finding fingertip application to be the best method for getting that soft-but-shiny pout. The eye shadows are also lovely - I especially like the peach as a base color or for just an easy day eye.
By the way, my friend's photos came out fabulous.
