You're Destined for Fame (and Fallout) with the Smashbox Be Discovered Holiday Palette - Makeup and Beauty Blog

I uncertainty Hollywood'southward fifty-fifty looking for a short, sassy Filipino chick without any acting experience to star opposite Ryan Gosling in an upcoming romantic comedy, but if, mayhap, I'm ever stopped past a famous director at Petco and asked to play the wind beneath Ryan's wings, you tin can bet I'm putting down those xx cans of gravy, girl, because nosotros're going to Hollywood! 🙂

Logic places the chances of this happening somewhere below 0.000001%, but ya never know… Peradventure the new limited edition Smashbox Be Discovered palette (about $60, from the new Snappy Holidays 2011 collection) will improve my odds.

Maybe…?

Okay, well, a girl's gotta accept dreams, and if yours happen to involve holiday kits brimming with color, Smashbox would like you to consider this: the 66-piece Be Discovered palette, with its four mini-makeup brushes and shades for eyes, cheeks and lips. At $60, information technology works out to less than $i per piece.

Not likewise shabby, tabby.

The bulk of the pieces in the palette consist of products for eyes — 45 powder shadows and nine cream liners, to exist exact. That's more color than a girl could shake a blending brush at!

Only (there's e'er a merely), like the eyeshadows in the visitor'south Click Yous're It palette, as well out for holidays, these like being babied. Some of them require lots of layering to prove up on my tan pare, and by and large, I besides end up sweeping away a considerable corporeality of fallout.

A few thoughts on the balance of the kit…

• Cheek Products — My favorite pieces in the palette! The Bronzer, Blushes and Soft Lights Highlighters apply smoothly with commendable colour, yet despite being packed with pigment, they remain easy to blend.
• Cream Eyeliners — I similar the soft, dreamy lines I'm able to describe with these, also equally the diverseness of colors, but some of them drift when I forget to pat a pulverization shadow on meridian.
• Lipglosses — Preternatural pigment and a three-hr clothing time for the win!
• Mini Brushes — They get job done, simply I wouldn't depend on them for everyday use (unless I had a crush on scratchy bristles).

All told, I'm fond of this kit, but I don't feel that lusty urge for it — or ache, if you volition — like I've felt from some of the other holiday palettes I've seen then far this year (see: Laura Mercier). In terms of value, though, because of the range of colors it contains and the price per piece, I wouldn't overlook information technology entirely.

I only wish that the eye products could step upwardly their game.
