SMASHING!

NEW SMASHBOX PURCHASES!
SMASHBOX Lip Enhancing Gloss in the color Pout
Great formula, non sticky, & gives great shine to lips. Reminds me ALOT of NARS Turkish Delight! Slightly more pinky purple than Turkish Delight. Formula feels alot like NARS as well, Pout retails for $19 at Sephora & Ulta.

ON LIPS:
  
SMASHBOX Bronze Lights in the shade Sunkissed Matte

A warm toned matte tan bronzer, close to the color of Too Faced Milk Chocolate. Great for light to medium skin tones for an all over glow without the shimmer! Retails for $29 @ Sephora & Ulta.
SWATCHED: (2 swipes to show color more clearly, almost same as my skintone)
SMASHBOX CAMERA READY BB Cream in the shade Light/Neutral
This is a new shade to their collection, which to me runs dark for its "names" I am usually "medium tan" in most BBs/foundations but with this one I am considered light/neutral which is actually to me a medium type shade. 

If you are more in the medium category I suggest to go with this one, because it blends perfectly into the skin & comes up very natural for medium skin tones. Not too pink, it has a nice yellow undertone to it.

Gives WONDERFUL coverage for a BB. Covers like a medium coverage foundation, yet it feels like nothing on your skin! It is buildable, but a little goes a LONG way! Stays MATTE. SPF 35. Can be worn as a primer under foundation. Retails for $39 @ Sephora & Ulta.

Does not:
Look cakey
Get spotty
Get greasy
Wear off

SPREAD ON TO SKIN:
 BLENDED:
Hope you all enjoyed my post!! Go try out these babies! I tried the BB as a sample so speak up at Ulta or Sephora and ask for one! It's well worth it to try!

BITE BEAUTY

Here is a sweet gift set I received for Christmas from a good friend! 
The packaging alone is TOO cute!! It reminds me of an Altoids case! This set includes 4 smaller sized High Pigment Pencils.
These lip pencils are amazingly creamy & luxurious! They glide on with such ease & are fully pigmented! 

I have been seeing such a big craze over lip pencils lately & I am glad I received this set because these little guys are a home run! 

Pros:
Long lasting
Easy glide on, with one swipe you get full color
Non-drying
Matte Finish (I find they give a MAC-like Satin finish personally)
Made with lip nurturing food grade ingredients that are healthy enough to eat!!

Need I say more?

Made WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan


SWATCHES:
Left to Right: Quince, Rhubarb, Cranberry (Limited), & Madeira

My Faves are Rhubarb & Maderia for sure!! Maderia is such a gorgeous nude color, it looks flawless on the lips!

I believe the gift set has just sold out, but you can get the full size, they retail for $24 at Sephora.
