My Review: Smashbox’s Muse Artist Eye Palette

smashbox_muse.jpg

I know Erin has reviewed this product, but I loved it so much I have to add my own review as well.  I was sent this product by the amazing Planet Beauty and I kid you not – I may throw out all of my other eye shadow.  This palette is probably the best palette I’ve ever used.  The colors are AMAZING, and gorgeous when you put it on!  There are 10 different shades – with an endless amount of combinations possible! Think of all the looks you could create with just this one beautiful palette! The brush alone would have cost you $20 – so this truly is an amazing deal.  If you guys trust us at all over here at MHU – you’ll take BOTH of our word for it, and go buy it! Don’t forget to check out everything else at Planet Beauty!

Inspire your inner artist with this one-of-a-kind mirrored palette with 10 stunning shadows plus a custom ARTIST EYE SHADOW BRUSH. Experiment with color and create an endless array of gorgeous eye looks.

TIP: Intensify the smoky eye by applying clear lip gloss (try LIP ENHANCING GLOSS in CRYSTAL) over eye shadow for a runway-inspired wet look.

Since the first store opened 15 years ago, people can’t seem to get enough. Every store location has reached profitable goals within their first year of operation and we have never had to move or close a store location. In what seems like a flash, Planet Beauty has exploded into a rapidly growing company including one corporate office, 24 locations, and over 250 employees.  Make Her Up LOVES Planet Beauty, and loves shopping on their website.  If you haven’t checked them out yet, now’s the time! 

New! Smashbox Muse

I am a longtime devoted Smashbox fan and I absolutely LOVE the new Muse line. The gorgeous colors are perfect for spring and summer.  I am loving the palette and eye liners, its been fun experimenting with mixing all the shadow and liner colors my other makeup is getting jealous! 

The eyeshadow brush is super soft and makes applying the product a snap and with my shadow base the eyeshadow stays vibrant all day. Top off your flawless face with a Smashbox creamy Lip Paints. The feel as great as they look and go on creamy instead of sticky.

When I first applied Bionic Mascara I really loved it, my lashes looked fuller and longer. My problem was the longevity of the product. Even with my new tube within a few hours of  applying Bionic Mascara it would start to get dry and flake off. I am a little surprised I love so many of the Smashbox products and was disappointed this wasn’t as great as the rest of the line.

Natural is beautiful!

Simple, chic, and sometimes with freckles shining through, the au natural look gets updated and subtly illuminated with peachy, pinky shades to give a slight punch that looks almost doll-like. Makeup artist Tyron Machusen explains, “For lips, these shades of apricot and pink are flattering on everyone and really complement a gorgeous, fresh complexion.”

PEARLY LIPS:

For lush lips, first smooth them out with a lip exfoliator. Then outline and fill them in with shimmery nude lipstick. Take the shine up a notch with a layer of peachy gloss.

TRY THIS:

Emulsion Lip Exfoliant by Smashbox is the first sugar-based, peppermint, lip exfoliator that is perfectly edible, and smells delicious. Experience a cooling sensation as poppy seeds and sugar granules gently remove dry, flaky skin, while shea butter, jojoba, and antioxidants condition and revitalize lips.

To use: Apply emulsion to top and bottom lips – working it in a circular motion to exfoliate. Allow emulsion to remain on lips for several seconds until a cooling sensation begins. To remove, moisten a cotton pad with water and gently wipe away scrub. Follow with a generous application of Smashbox’s Treatment Lipstick.
