Thanks to Candy from Dallas, TX for the review.

Title of your review: Smashbox O-Glow

Tell us about it!: After running out of my beloved Prescriptives Pressed
Powder Leaves in Rose I decided to move off my usual beaten path to
Smashbox. I had heard the buzz surrounding O-Glow, which promises to create
a shade of blush based on your own bodies chemistry as soon as it hits your
face. Here in lies the problem.

After consulting the sales girl, I took my purchase home and excitedly
opened my product. Yet here I wonder: Foundation first, then O-Glow or
O-Glow then Foundation? If I applied O-Glow first my foundation would all
but wash it out (and I wear very sheer foundation), and if applied over the
foundation it seemed rather muddy or false looking.

I also discovered that its very difficult to get even coverage on both
sides. I always felt like one side was more pink than the other, or more
intense.

At the end of the day, it was just too complicated for a step that normally
took me seconds as I run out the door. O-Glow for me was an O-No.

I can agree with Candy on this I was also puzzled at what point to apply O-Glow and I found the color faded really fast. My favorite cheek color lately has been Tarte’s cheek stain. It is super easy to apply and leaves you with the perfect flushed look.

Natural Swirl Cheek Stain

What it is:
An all-natural version of Tarte’s award-winning cheek stain that swirls two universally flattering shades together.

What it does:

I love the look of liquid eyeliner but I always shy away since I have really unsteady hands. I bought a Try Me kit from Smashbox a few months ago and the cream eyeliner has been hiding out in the bottom of my makeup box because I was too afraid to try it.

I had a little extra time last week and decided to try the cream eyeliner since the cute little box was just calling my name. I wish I hadn’t waited so long I love it, the cream is really easy to work with and the results are amazing. I have gotten bolder as the week progressed and tried some of the colors I love the blue its dark enough to not look overdone it just gives your eyes an extra little kick.

Well I don’t know if Wonder Woman was actually bionic but she was always my favorite superhero. I used to think her costume was the hottest thing ever but seeing it now it’s more like a bustier and granny panties. Did anyone else replicate her cuff bracelets at home with tin foil?

I was a good girl in 07 and Santa brought me a bunch of Sephora gift cards so I have been like a kid in a candy store buying all the products I have been lusting over. One of my recent purchases was Smashbox photo finish primer and I love it. It leaves my skin looking flawless and helps hide my pores. I have also noticed my makeup goes on much smoother and stays put.

This is a must try product especially since it works with all your other makeup. I tried the original version but they have different shades to help even out skintones and imperfections.

What it is formulated to do:
The silky blend of vitamins and antioxidants smoothes and perfects skin, while the unique formula helps to inhibit the destruction of collagen, and fills in fine lines and pores for a flawless finish.

What else you need to know:
Use after moisturizer and before foundation for complexion perfection. This skin-soothing blend of antioxidants, which can be worn alone or under foundation, works overtime to fill in fine lines and even out skin texture.
