Smashbox Spring 2011 Collection - In Bloom

Last year, the spring collection from Smashbox of one of my favorite releases of the entire year. I loved all the products in Heartbreaker and that Scarlett Johansson was the model for the line. I am so excited to look at the collection for this spring becuase I am hoping that I will love it just as much as last year. This year's collection is called In Bloom and is based on the flowers that grow and bloom in the springtime. Since we all know how much I love flowers and spring, this is an obvious collection for me to collect. On first glance, I am seeing a fantastic eye palette that looks like a keeper for me..

Here is the collection...

In Bloom Eye Shadow Palette and Brush - Ultra-pretty eye looks are just a few steps away with this spring-fresh palette of 10 soft shimmers and mattes. The luxe shadows are arranged in duos for surefire color coordination, or use the brush included in the palette to mix-and-match your own custom look. Make the most out of the palette by using darker shades such as Iris Blue and Shimmery Copper as eye liner. Using Cream Eye Liner Brush #9, apply along the lower lash line for a look that's defined, yet soft and diffused.
- Pink Lily/Lavender Gray/Golden Rose/Warm Taupe/Bone/Soft Orchid/Iris Blue/Shimmery Copper/Moss/Nude

In Bloom Creamy Cheek Duo - The look of spring? A beautifully stained cheek resembling a natural flush. This lush creamy cheek color is the fail-proof way to get it! Wear the creamy shades alone, or blend together to create your own customized shade. Blend into cheeks using fingertips or Foundation Brush #13. Dab lightly onto lips for a refreshing hint of color.
- Peony - bright pink
- Blushing - soft pink

In Bloom Soft Focus Powder Liner - Create a soft, smoldering eye in seconds with this innovative new formula. The loose powder liner imparts a defined, yet diffused look that's always pretty and never harsh. Use this powder liner on the go (or in a pinch) as an eye shadow! Simply pat the product gently onto the lids, and then blend out with a brush.
- Dark Brown - deep brown
- Heather - charcoal gray

In Bloom Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss - Our much-loved, long-wearing gloss now comes in 2 just-been-picked colors! Get luscious shine that stays put for up to 6 hours, while protecting your pout with SPF 15. Plus, the contoured wand hugs lips for easy, one-coat application. This lip formula is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, so try exfoliating first with our Emulsion Lip Exfoliant to get the full benefits of these nourishing antioxidants.
- Endless Kiss - coral
- Timeless - soft pink

In Bloom Artificial Light Powder - Inspired by our bestselling Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion! Use this soft, shimmery powder as a highlighter and brightener for a gorgeous glow. Apply to the inner corners of eyes, down the bridge of the nose, above brows, and high on cheekbones. Tap out a small amount and mix with your favorite body lotion. Then apply to arms, legs, and decollete for a subtle shimmer.
- shimmery soft nude

This is a lovely collection for this spring! My favorite product is the Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss in Timeless, this shade will work against strong eye makeup or for a natural, professional day look. I love the Eye Palette and I am willing to bet that I can create looks with all of the shades. The Creamy Cheek Duo is another winner for me since I love cream blushes and have the hardest time trying to find them. Smashbox's spring collections are always a winner and usually end up being their best collection of the whole year.
