Smashbox Cover Shot Eyeshadow Palettes

December 16, 2016

Have you seen the gorgeous new eyeshadow palette collection from Smashbox?  I happened to be online late one night and saw a new collaboration story in the People Magazine that I was reading before going to sleep.  I was intrigued so I immediately checked on the Sephora website to see the entire Cover Shot collection and was lucky to be able to purchase the two palettes that I wanted to try.  I had early access sue to my Sephora VIB Rouge status (one of the few perks).

The collection is a collaboration between Smashbox and actress and social media powerhouse Shay Mitchell.  Smashbox worked with Shay to create a unique personality for each one.  There are a total of seven different palettes from matte to metallic.  The palettes retail for $29 each and can be found at Smashbox, Ulta, Sephora, Macy’s and more.  I will warn you that the palettes are already sold out in a lot of places.  I’m sure they’ll be restocked soon.

*I bought these/affiliate links

The palettes are sold individually.  Each palette measures about 4.5″ x 2.5″.  They’re the perfect size for travel or on-the-go touch-ups.

Smashbox Golden Hour

The Golden Hour Palette is my favorite of the collection (so far).  The variety of shades are rather warm.  With being said though, I think these colors look gorgeous on all eye colors to make them pop.  I like that this palette includes two matte shadows.

I’m enjoying the Matte Palette as well.  The shades included are warm nudes, cool mauves and a deep, dramatic black.  I don’t wear all matte eyes very often.  However, after experimenting with this palette I’ve done so several times.  I really like the results.  The shades offer a good amount of pigmentation and blend out nicely.

Verdict:

I recommend the palettes in the Cover Shot collection.  I’ve only purchased two of the available seven so far.  I’m pleased with the pigmentation and wearability.  I can create day looks, night looks and everything in between.

Have you tried the Smashbox Cover Shot palettes yet?  If so, which one did you buy?

      The matte one is really nice too. I like it so much more than I thought I would because I don’t create all matte looks often. That will be changing now! Stacie xo

Once I start talking about something that I’m pa Once I start talking about something that I’m passionate and excited about, I just don’t stop. That’s why I decided to post some long-form videos on YouTube (where I started my journey back in 2010).

I love makeup, skincare and anything beauty. I also love clothes, jewelry, handbags and accessories. That’s what I mostly share over there. 

I hope you’ll join me over there with your morning coffee. I plan to post once a week (on Fridays) for now. 

Let me know if you want the LINK to this week’s video (also link in my profile). I’m pretty proud of it, if I do say so myself.😉

For this week’s video, I shared what I packed in my vacation makeup bag (I kept it extra light) and also few outfits that I wore (most items are on sale).

These are some of the clothing and accessories that I loved wearing and sharing with you throughout the month of July. And apparently, all of you loved them too!💖💖

These are some of my favorites and bestsellers for women over 50, 60 and beyond. I always say to wear what makes you happy and not what society dictates.  Because if you love what you’re wearing then you’ll feel your best, boost your confidence and achieve your goals.

Age is just a number! Who’s with me?😎

Let me know if you want LINKS to any of these outfits with sizing details.💖

I’m all about affordable fashion (most of the time😉) and shopping the best sales and deals. If that sounds like you too, then give me a follow for lots more.🥰

It’s a fabulous strapless lightweight jumpsuit! Just change out your accessories and shoes, maybe add a topper and you’ll be ready for anything.💫

Where would you wear this jumpsuit?💖

This jumpsuit is a cropped length on most, but at a petite 5’1” it is longer on me. It’s great because it accommodates a variety of body types, but I may get it hemmed. Still deciding.🤔
