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

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
