Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener Product Review

Smashbox photo upThis is my current must have!  First moisturizer, then Smashbox Photo Op Under eye Brightener, then Stila’s Illuminating Foundation.  I haven’t been getting much sleep lately, with the sun setting so much later, I lose track of time and the kids stay up later which pushes everything else, i.e. blogging, later into the night. 

 That’s where Photo Op under eye brightener comes into play.  Very easy to use, just brush a little on and dab in, remember to treat your under eye area delicately by using a less powerful finger.  I like to use my ring finger. 

I have worn this without the foundation on top, it is possible, but be VERY careful about the reverse raccoon effect.  It’s less of an issue when I’m wearing my skin (that’s what I call the illuminating foundation) because everything is all blended in. 

Don’t forget there is FREE shipping on Smashbox for any order within the USA, can’t wait to try the Wicked Lovely Fall 2008 collection.

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss Product Review

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

SmashboxSheer Color! Fabulous Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in POP.  The good part, an ultra moisturizing gloss, it provides beautiful sheer color, the shine is fab - not too much, just right.  Wear it alone or over lipstick.

The bad part, the scent is that of vanilla and in case it isn’t clear I can not in good conscience not mention that.  Vanilla is meant for ice-cream and cinnamon rolls! please please keep it out of gloss!  Don’t give me any lip about it!

The Lip Enhancing Gloss retails for $18.  Thanks to CEW and check out more opinions on Total Beauty
