Review/Look:Smashbox HALO Hydrating Perfecting Eye Shadow Duos

Hey Bella's.. I am back with another review. I have to tell you guys I was really excited to use this product. The product I will be reviewing is Smashbox HALO Hydrating Perfecting Eye Shadow Duos. This product ladies is being called the miracle makeup for your eyes. Why you ask? The product offers great anti-aging benefits that minimizes the signs of aging with continued use.

Pros

The anti-aging benefits, specifically after 10 minutes of use the eyelids appear smoother

The ingredients in this product is amazing, such as Goji berries,48 bio-available minerals, silk peptide and the lists goes on

The color range for this product covers your everyday eye shadow needs(comes in five shades)

The eye shadows are very finely milled so they feel soft to the touch

The eye shadows are very pigmented so you can do a soft touch of color for work and then kick it up a notch for after work hours

The packaging has it up and downside. I like the fact that you can shave off the amount of product you use

Cons

The packaging when it comes to doing a more dramatic look. Since your shaving the product you get equal amount of lid and crease color. At times, your left with more product than you need for lid or the crease, which can be wasteful.

Recommendation: I would recommend that you all try this product. It comes in five shades: Petal/Plum; Bisque/Almond; Pewter/Smoke; Buff/Ivy; and Soft Peach/ Cocoa. You can purchase this product at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, and Smashbox.com ..The HALO Hydrating Eye Shadow Duos cost $36 each.

Quick Note: For those wanting to do more of a dramatic look. I would highly suggest using a good base.

Requested Look: Interview Look

Hey Bella's. I was requested to do an interview look. My take on an interview look is basically a soft makeup look. Let me forewarn you guys, these pictures are close up. You will probably see the asian in me, that's how close these pics are. My hair is crazy, I know I just washed it. Time to trim down my eyebrows as well. Also, I want to give a shout to Jilliandanica, I want to thank you for making me buy the RCMA palette.. Thanks sis. Okay Okay enough rambling. (Excuse me guys, I am being silly today. My last picture I think looks better at that angle.

Exclusive: Untamed - Smashbox Upcoming Collection

At The Makeup Show LA, I had the opportunity to interview the fabulous Lori Taylor of Smashbox Cosmetics and she gave me the dish on a new collection by Smashbox called Untamed. Let me tell you ladies it is all about the sexy in this collection. It is along the lines of a Bronze Goddess look, which we all want for the summer, or at least I do.

This collection will be featuring bold, rich colors. The lip colour range will follow along the lines of sheer bold lips. We know this summer is all about the bold lips and for those of you whom work in a corporate environment these colors will allow you to keep your sexy at work.

Smashbox will be offering a new shadow/liner in this collection. This collection, let me tell you will definitely be budget friendly because Smashbox will be featuring various dual use products. So in April, when this collection comes out, you should definitely hit up your nearest Sephora, Ulta, or Nordstrom and pick up this collection. I will see you there.
