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.

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

We all want what we don’t have… I’ve always wanted straight thin hair, but my genetics decided that wasn’t in the cards.

Anyway, this root touch up powder is my new best friend for covering my grays roots between salon touch ups (which happen more frequently these days).😅

It’s a clean beauty formula too! Let me know if you want a link to purchase it for yourself. It’s available in 5 different shades. I’m using the medium brown.

By the way, I turned 60 years old a few months ago and love sharing beauty, fashion, life stuff and my travels. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, then follow my account and let’s be midlife friends. It’s harder to find friends at this stage in our lives and this platform is where I’ve found some of my besties.💗💗

This place provides top notch service in the most beautiful atmosphere. Trust me when I say that you NEED to try them asap. Great for all ages and groups of all sizes.

I had their basic pedicure because I was short on time. But trust me, there was nothing basic about it! I’m headed back for a manicure today.

This is their newest location in the DFW metroplex. 

Have you ever seen anything like it?😍😍
