Smashbox Holiday 2012 Collection - Studio Pop

One of the best gift collections every single year is almost always from Smashbox, this company gives us huge giftsets that have something for every single person on your list.  I seem to remember that over the past few years, this company always does one massive palette that contains shades for lips, eyes, and face.  Massive is the key word here, in previous years, it has contained 50 or more shades of eye shadow and then multiple shades for the lips and cheeks.  This is often considered one of the best gifts on the Sephora website and I have seen it sell out very quickly in previous years.  I am happy to report that I see it again when looking at the new holiday collection from Smashbox, Studio Pop.  I am willing to bet that Smashbox hasn't really changed many of the sets and palettes for the collection this year, I doubt that they will mess with a series of products that have sold so well for them in the past years.

Studio Pop is a holiday collection that only contains palettes and sets, some contain products for all facial features while others are much more targeted toward one feature.  This collection is available on the Smashbox website and is already featured on the Sephora and Nordstrom websites.  I predict this collection will do very well this holiday season.  The Smashbox website provides a description of the collection for us, "Holidays rock with Studio Pop!  This limited edition collection of our on-set faves will have you living the season out loud with party perfect shades."  Every single one of these limited edition palettes and sets will be perfect to give as a gift or keep for yourself!

Here is the holiday gift collections from Smashbox!

I placed a picture of the huge palette in with this post, this is biggest and best selling of all the sets and palettes and I think that this would make one of the most amazing gifts for any female on your list.  I am actually considering it for myself since I love the eye shadow formula from this company and I also LOVE the Cream Eye Liners from this company (and I have loved them for years).  The fact that I would get 45 eye shadows and then 9 Cream Eye Liners is more than enough for me to want to buy this set.  I am sure that I will get several repeats of shades that I already have in my eye shadow collection and also a few that I won't really use but I think this set is well worth buying and I will be checking it out the next time that I hit up Sephora.

If I get the huge palette then I don't need the smaller Studio Pop Palette, I doubt that there is any shade that isn't in the big one that would actually be in the smaller set.  The other set that I am really considering for both myself and for a few friends on my list is the lip gloss set, I love and would use every single gloss in this set and I know that I have friends that would also.

One of the best gift collections for the holidays and I strongly urge all of you to check it out!
