“What should I wish for?”
“I don’t know. Maybe one these new limited edition kits from Smashbox.”
“OOH! Those are pretty.”
“I know! They just came out with their holiday collection, Wish 2010.”
“Wish? Oh, very punny. Wish. I get it now.” 🙂
The four new kits range from $16-46 each and come with various combinations of products for eyes, lips, cheeks and face.
In the holiday spirit, Smashbox plans to donate $1 from the sale of each Wish collection purchase (up to $25,000) to the Children’s Miracle Network.
Even though that kind of thing can seem like a marketing maneuver, it isn’t always, and the fact remains — it’s something that quite a few cosmetics companies simply never do (donate a portion of sales to charity), so I say “Good job, Smashbox!” 🙂
Take a peek at these product pics and swatches of two of the four new kits, Wish For The Perfect Pout ($29) and Wish List ($49).
I’ll have face and lip shots up soon, along with more details a little later this week.
Wish For The Perfect Pout, $29
Wish List, $49

I’m loving radiant and luster in this collection.
Karen says
Radiant’s really pretty. I’ll have lip swatches up, soon!
Gina G says
O-GLoss Gold looks pretty!
Karen says
Doesn’t it though? I bet it’s gonna be really pretty on top of red lipsticks.
Arianne says
Candid is my favourite lip gloss OF. ALL. TIME! Seriously, mine will be empty after about 5 uses. Great to see that it comes in a full size tube in this set. 🙂
That O-Gloss Gold is quite intriguing, too.
Karen says
That was the first shade to catch my eye in this set! It’s kinda like a warmer, more gold version of MAC Nymphette.
Tracy says
I love Smashbox lip glosses- not so sure about that O-Gloss Gold though. Kind of scares me!
Karen says
LOL, maybe it’s just the swatch? It’s not that scary on the lips, trust me.
Vanessa H says
This is now on my wishlist, I love love love Smashbox glosses!
Karen says
I love ’em too. I wish they’d do a set with their Limitless Long Wear glosses. That would be AWESOME!
makeup morsels says
ooh I love every single color in the lipgloss set, but the thing that’s really making my heart pound is that Gold O-Gloss. I think it’s the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen…I love gold/silver/purple/green lip products that are wearable. p.s. I like your puns
Karen says
Oh yeah! Love those funky colors for layering, especially!
Lauren says
Radiant and Candid look so beautiful <3
Karen says
Those are my faves out of the set too!
Ariel says
Do you know anything yet about the Nars holiday collection?
Karen says
Hi Ariel,
Yup! I’ll have some info soon. 🙂
BlovetBeauty says
colors r so prettyz!
Karen says
Yup!
Lindsay says
I’m really lusting over the lipgloss set now!
Karen says
Smashbox always does really nice lip sets for holiday.
gio says
The O-Gloss Gold is gorgeous!
Karen says
I’m pretty psyched about the O-Gloss Gold gloss. Can’t wait to layer it on top of a red lipstick!
leslie says
i bought the lipgloss set which looks beautiful but sadly not pigmented at all! the texture is nice, but it’s sad to know that my drugstore lip glosses are better 🙁
Karen says
Hi Leslie,
Smashbox glosses tend to be sheer… I think that’s their schtick.
If you want something more pigmented you might want to try their Limitless Long Wear Line.
Tiffany says
I have 2 of the other sets on my sephora friends and family wish list: the gold list and wish for the perfect pencils 🙂
Karen says
The pencil set looks pretty cool. I’d want to layer those bad boys beneath some gold or silver shadow… ooh la la!
Lee says
These look great 🙂 all really pretty and simple shades that look easy 2 use 2gether 🙂
I really like Candid and Divine in the lipgloss and also wonder what the Photo op under eye brightener would be like???
Karen says
Hi Lee,
I think you wear it the inner corner and beneath the lower lash line to illuminate any dark areas. I’m pretty sure it goes beneath concealer.
Alexandra says
Lee you wear the Photo op under the eye beneath concealor. Its also good for high lighting the cupids bow. I hope that helps in answering your question.
Lee says
Oh ok 🙂 cool thanks…might give it a try im always looking 4 the perfect concealer ( is there one??? ) lol so maybe using this with my usual concealer will be good 🙂
Kim says
I’m intrigued by the Eye Brightener. Do you think it works well?
I totally agree that it’s great that Smashbox is donating some of the profit to charity. Every dollar adds up. 🙂
Karen says
I’m gonna try it today! My dark circles will put it to the test, LOL!
mela says
amazing!! smashbox candid is my go-to gloss, much like you and nymphette 😉
Karen says
I actually thought of Nymphette when I first saw Candid! 😀
a.b.l. says
Wish list looks good!
Karen says
It does!
Nina says
Ohhh those glosses are sooo pretty! That set would make an awesome present too! 🙂
Karen says
Maybe something for your sis? Or your bestie? 🙂
Nina says
Most probably so! 🙂 It was my sister’s birthday yesterday and shes getting a purse and a Sephora GC. 😀
Kajal Couture says
I am craving that gold o-gloss! can’t wait to hear your opinion of it!
Karen says
I’ll have a review up soon!
saku says
O so pretty. Man so many lip gloss sets, I don’t know what to go for, lol.
Karen says
I know! Holiday is one of the best times of year for gloss junkies. 🙂
Amber says
Ooooh, totally don’t need that, but love it!
I wonder if it’s hard to make sexyface knowing your hair is styled that way…
Karen says
Ha ha… dude, that’s what my hair looks like every morning!
regina says
Argh, I really don’t need any more lip glosses but I am loving the Wish for the Perfect Pout set! Sigh. I can usually resist purchasing gloss sets because there is often a color or two I won’t use but they all look lovely and very wearable!
Ellen Lange says
I am in love with these colors!! I’m never tried any Smashbox glosses but these colors are gorgeous!!
auroragyps says
I wonder if Candid might be a good dupe for UD’s old Lip Gunk in Burn out? I also wonder how Candid compares to the rose gloss Smashbox came out with for the Summer, because that might be close to Burn Out too? I so wish I still had my old tube of it so I could check for dupes when I’m in stores. I’ve been trying find a replacement for it for years, which there was for a while from Maybelline, but they stopped making the color. 🙁
Stacey says
I have been eyeing the lipgloss set. So many pretty colors..I love the Candid and Divine <3…If this is at Sephora i will be ordering during the sale 🙂
Stephanie says
Hey Stacy, I Started looking for reviews on the lip gloss set because i saw it in the Sephora Holiday 2010 magazine (pg 27!) so yeah they sell it. Online at least.
stephanie says
I purchased the lip set the other day here in the uk! i love it! i used luster today too its sooo pretty and i love the sent =]
Resham says
I love these kits. Last year’s Smashbox kit had Pout in it and I absolutely enjoy that color. I will try n pick this one on sale at Sephora!
