“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.

Radiant’s really pretty. I’ll have lip swatches up, soon!
O-GLoss Gold looks pretty!
Doesn’t it though? I bet it’s gonna be really pretty on top of red lipsticks.
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.

That was the first shade to catch my eye in this set! It’s kinda like a warmer, more gold version of MAC Nymphette.
I love Smashbox lip glosses- not so sure about that O-Gloss Gold though. Kind of scares me!
LOL, maybe it’s just the swatch? It’s not that scary on the lips, trust me.
This is now on my wishlist, I love love love Smashbox glosses!

I love ’em too. I wish they’d do a set with their Limitless Long Wear glosses. That would be AWESOME!
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

I’m pretty psyched about the O-Gloss Gold gloss. Can’t wait to layer it on top of a red lipstick!
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 🙁
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.
I have 2 of the other sets on my sephora friends and family wish list: the gold list and wish for the perfect pencils 🙂
The pencil set looks pretty cool. I’d want to layer those bad boys beneath some gold or silver shadow… ooh la la!
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???
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.
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.
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 🙂
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. 🙂
I’m gonna try it today! My dark circles will put it to the test, LOL!
amazing!! smashbox candid is my go-to gloss, much like you and nymphette 😉
I actually thought of Nymphette when I first saw Candid! 😀
Wish list looks good!

It does!
Ohhh those glosses are sooo pretty! That set would make an awesome present too! 🙂
Maybe something for your sis? Or your bestie? 🙂
Most probably so! 🙂 It was my sister’s birthday yesterday and shes getting a purse and a Sephora GC. 😀
I am craving that gold o-gloss! can’t wait to hear your opinion of it!

I’ll have a review up soon!
O so pretty. Man so many lip gloss sets, I don’t know what to go for, lol.
I know! Holiday is one of the best times of year for gloss junkies. 🙂
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…

Ha ha… dude, that’s what my hair looks like every morning!
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!
I am in love with these colors!! I’m never tried any Smashbox glosses but these colors are gorgeous!!
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. 🙁
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 🙂
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.
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 =]
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!
