“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
Swatches
Smashbox Wish For The Perfect Pout Swatches on NC35 skin from left: Luster, Candid, Baby Pout, Ecstasy, Divine, Radiant

So tell me — do you feel like making a Smashbox Wish? 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Karen says
October 13th, 2010 at 7:43 amDoesn’t it though? I bet it’s gonna be really pretty on top of red lipsticks.
Arianne says
October 12th, 2010 at 8:00 pmCandid 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.

October 13th, 2010 at 7:44 amThat 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
October 12th, 2010 at 8:15 pmI love Smashbox lip glosses- not so sure about that O-Gloss Gold though. Kind of scares me!
Karen says
October 13th, 2010 at 7:45 amLOL, maybe it’s just the swatch? It’s not that scary on the lips, trust me.

makeup morsels says
October 12th, 2010 at 8:34 pmooh 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

October 13th, 2010 at 7:50 amI’m pretty psyched about the O-Gloss Gold gloss. Can’t wait to layer it on top of a red lipstick!
leslie says
October 13th, 2010 at 3:55 ami 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
October 13th, 2010 at 7:51 amHi 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
October 13th, 2010 at 5:06 amI 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
October 13th, 2010 at 7:53 amThe pencil set looks pretty cool. I’d want to layer those bad boys beneath some gold or silver shadow… ooh la la!
Lee says
October 13th, 2010 at 5:27 amThese 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
October 13th, 2010 at 7:54 amHi 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
October 13th, 2010 at 3:18 pmLee 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
October 14th, 2010 at 4:12 amOh 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
October 13th, 2010 at 5:45 amI’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
October 13th, 2010 at 7:54 amI’m gonna try it today! My dark circles will put it to the test, LOL!
mela says
October 13th, 2010 at 6:16 amamazing!! smashbox candid is my go-to gloss, much like you and nymphette 😉
Karen says
October 13th, 2010 at 7:54 amI actually thought of Nymphette when I first saw Candid! 😀

October 13th, 2010 at 8:12 amArgh, 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
October 13th, 2010 at 8:33 amI am in love with these colors!! I’m never tried any Smashbox glosses but these colors are gorgeous!!
auroragyps says
October 13th, 2010 at 11:35 amI 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
October 13th, 2010 at 11:36 amI 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
November 6th, 2010 at 8:04 pmHey 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
October 13th, 2010 at 1:49 pmI 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 =]
