SMASHBOX Review and Give-away: Smashin' Shades of Fame

I guess it's inevitable. Though I tried hard not to wax poetic about beauty products as I first consider myself a slave of fashion more than cosmetics, it's really a hard world to separate as the parallels of beauty and fashion are absolutely infinite.

Both lend and borrow inspiration with the other with most designer collections evidently shaped by new trends from either industry.

The NEW LIMITED edition eyeshadow palette from Smashbox - Shades of Fame - is definitely something worth raving about. It's just one of those beauty products that is guaranteed a cult following from the moment little sneak previews of it are released in the blogosphere.

As a lover of all things pretty, the packaging of the Shades of Fame Eye Palette alone is worth the precious real estate on your beauty counter. True to form, it features a montage of photos covering the behind the scene photo shoot, depicting the life of someone famous.

With nine gorgeous colours to choose from: Bliss, Honey, Sandstone, Nude, Sherbert, Safari, Pacific, Praline, Mocha – you can certainly create many different combination of looks from casual cool to sultry and sexy.

On top of that, there are two stunning cream liners: gold and bronze, both highly pigmented to take your eye make-up to the next level. For someone on the go, I imagine you can do a quick swipe of these, swipe a generous coat of mascara and you’ve got yourself an effortlessly chic look!

Let’s not forget to mentjon the double-edged brush plus there is also the sweet bonus of the Mini Photo Finish Lid Primer, which ensures that your multiple eye-popping looks will last all the way from the casting call to the premiere.

I can’t lie. I am in love with Smashbox’s Shades of Fame Eye Palette.

And because I also adore you my dear friends, I have very exciting news to tell you. As a big heartfelt thank you for your continued support and endless visits here at Twenty York Street, I am giving away one fabulous Shades of Fame Eye Palette, courtesy of Smashbox Canada.
