Smashbox Spring 2009 Collection - Muse



I haven’t bought anything else from Smashbox since the disappointment surrounding the Bionic Mascara. I haven’t even really looked at everything from that collection since that purchase so I decided to look at the new collection from Spring 2009. The collection is called Muse and the collection is about bringing out your inner artist with makeup palettes, eyeliners, and lip paints.


Here is the collection…


Muse Artist Eye Palette - Inspire your inner artist with this one-of-a-kind mirrored palette with 10 stunning shadows plus a custom ARTIST EYE SHADOW BRUSH.
- contains the shades Biscuit, Chocolate, Soft Green, Dark Celery Green, Light Silver Blue, Dark Blue-Grey, Sheer Lilac, Deep Orchid, Rose Copper, Coffee


Muse Cream Liner Pencil Set - Four ultra-creamy, vibrant eye liner pencils to create a masterpiece all your own. Wear each shade alone, blended together, or smudged with shadow – experiment with color and get inspired!
- contains Deep Ocean Blue, Deep Violet, Dark Charcoal, Deep Gold


Hybrid 2 in 1 Luminizing Primer - Get instantly smooth and glowing skin and create a perfect canvas for makeup application with this revolutionary dual formula PHOTO FINISH FOUNDATION PRIMER and ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. It’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants and botanicals for added healthy skin benefits. Wear under foundation or alone for a gorgeous natural glow. Can be used all over face for a radiant complexion or blended over cheekbones, brow bones, the bridge of nose and chin to highlight.


Bionic Mascara - BIONIC is the first ionic mascara for longer, stronger, more voluminous super-power lashes! The specially engineered brush gently coats lashes with our revolutionary long-wearing formula for a high impact lash in just one sweep. Now in a hot black violet hue that’s perfect for Spring!
- Black Violet - black with a hint of violet


Muse Lip Paints - This rich, creamy lip gloss glides effortlessly over lips for soft color and brilliant shine. Create your own one-of-a-kind artistic hue by mixing and layering shades.
- Luminary - creamy nude
- Artiste - creamy berry
- Virtuoso - creamy pink


Muse Blush Rush - Get a gorgeous rush of color with this ultra-luxurious, long-wearing blush in a one-of-a-kind mirrored compact for glowing cheeks befitting any muse.
- Masterpiece - warm peachy coral


I wouldn’t mind trying the Lip Paint in Virtuoso, the creamy pink shade. It might be a nice change for me to get a lip gloss with a creamy finish instead of the shimmery one that I have been buying lately. I would also like to try the Hybrid 2 in 1 Luminizing Primer, I love the anti-oxidants and the promise of a natural glow. My face hasn’t really had much of that this winter and I would like it to happen this spring. The new color in the Bionic Mascara…let’s just not even go there…
