This is the Today's Special Value on QVC today. It's £42 including postage, and includes a gel eyeliner and brush, a cream blush, an eyeliner pencil, an eyeshadow quad, a highlighter and two lipglosses.
I've had bits and pieces from Smashbox in the past and liked them a lot. It's not a brand that you read or hear a lot about, but they make some very good products (I particularly like the colour powder products and the glosses). I'm very tempted by this set. The item number is 229261.
Incidentally, the worst makeover I've ever had was at the Smashbox counter that used to be in Selfridges, years and years ago. I wanted to try the cream eyeliner and the make-up artist applied it to me and then started doing other random things to my face, including drag queen eyebrows and fevered blush. I went to collect Mr London from the Selfridges book department and he quite literally jumped when he saw my face. I did like the cream eyeliner though.

I think that it may be a thing with Smashbox counters. I remember having a Make Up artist attack my face with some vicious brush strokes while my friend watched in horror while at Nordstroms. It was at South Coast Plaza (expensive huge mall in Orange County, CA). I had to excuse myself, I couldn't go back to work looking like a painted tomato. As for the products, I like some and some I can't seem to find the love. The cream eyeliners are great as eyeshadow bases, but you have to work quickly before they set. Their sets are normally a great value and have exclusive products, I hope you love them.
ReplyDeleteFunny- one of my better makeovers was at the SB counter at Lord & Taylor. It was before SB got well known and the look was very natural.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try Smashbox, it looks great but i really cant afford it hehe :) xx

ReplyDeleteHi Beanie - good to know I'm not the only one! Their sets are extremely well put together.
ReplyDeleteHi Ammie - they have some really nice products. Nice to know you had a good makeover with them :)
Hi Hannah - maybe put it on a birthday list and keep an eye out for kits on QVC, they often have some good bargains. :)
Hi BeautyGeeek - will be interested to read what you think of it, I've been intrigued by the idea of that product. A hydrating powder seems like it would be very difficult to do!
