Smashbox Fall 2009 Collection - Reign

Smashbox has released a collection for this fall that is worthy of royalty...at least according to them. Personally, I love Prince William and the entire English aristocracy so this collection (at least on first hearing about it) seems to be right up my alley. I am already envisioning deep rich colors and beautiful packaging. Let's see if this lives up to me expectations.

Smashbox describes the collection on their website as follows, "Scandal. Indulgence. Desire. Decadance reigns in this provocative collection inspired by the English Tudors. Adorn yourself with lust-worthy shadows, metallic liners, and luxurious lip colors fit for a royal".

Here is the collection...

Reign Eye Shadow Palette - Decadent mirrored compacts with 6 baked shadows in both matte and shimmer for higher pigmentation and longer wear. Wear the shimmery shades wet for a metallic, smoky look or dry for a gorgeous wash of luminous color. Use the matte shades as a base, or in the outer corners and crease to intensify a smoky eye.

- Majesty - matte champagne/shimmery champage; matte cabernet/shimmery cabernet; matte black/shimmery black

- Monarch - matte soft gold/shimmery soft gold; matte copper/shimmery copper; matte deep brown/shimmery deep brown

Reign Lash DNA Mascara - Bejewel lashes in a sumptuous new shade fit for a royal. This protein and amino acid packed formula dramatically lengthens, strengthens, and defines for stand-out eyes.

- Plum - shimmering black plum

Reign Double Take Lip Color - Envelop lips in color to lust after. A long-wearing liner on one end and velvety-smooth lip color on the other in two of Fall's hottest shades.

- Amaretto - nude pink/creamy peachy pink

- Currant - deep wine/deep berry red

Reign Lip Gloss - Indulge lips in luxurious, creamy color and scandalous shine. This ultra-moisturizing gloss saturates lips in a gorgeous warm nude shade that pairs perfectly with Fall's smoky eye.

- Crowned - soft peachy pink

Reign Fusion Blush - Scandal. Mystery. Desire. Do you have a reason to blush? Gives cheeks and sensual glow with this dual-toned blush in both matte and shimmer shades, housed in a gorgeous mirrored compact.

- Regal - matte peachy nude/shimmery peachy nude

Wow...I just love this whole collection. The only item that I don't really want to get is the mascara but I love everything else. My top three picks are the lip gloss, the Monarach eye palette, and the Currant lip color. This collection is yet another one that is making me want to spend all fall shopping at the makeup counters.
