Smashbox Fall 2010 Collection - Masquerade

Smashbox is coming back this season with another hit collection. After their slightly boring summer collection, they are back with a beautiful collection named Masquerade. The promo pictures on the Smashbox site are amazing and I am really looking forward to playing with this line next time that I end up at Sephora. The description of the overall collection is, "Intoxicate and arouse this season with this intriguing palette of rich, smoldering shadows, high impact metallic liners and shimmering glosses in shiny, provactive hues".

Let's check it out...

Masquerade Eye Shadow Palette - This opulent, limited-edition palette is brimming with a collection of matte and metallic shadows in a range of shades from super subtle soft peach and glowing gold to an ultra dramatic metallic cabernet and shimmering navy. Organized horizontally in trios, the palette is beyond user friendly. Shades can be worn solo, paired with those in the same row or can be worn with other shades. Sleek and chic, this shiny navy blue mirrored eye kit is an absolute must-have for every makeup artist.

Then apply your mascara and finish by using the rod to sweep hints of metallic teal or bronze onto the tips of your lashes.

My two top picks from this collection are the Eye Shadow Palette and the new Cream Blush. The palette contains all beautiful shades and I am even willing to overlook the navy shade in it because I love all the others and know that I will use them. And who knows, maybe I will play with the navy shade and make a look work with it. Just last week, I was discussing my search for cream blushes and now one just drops in my lap with this collection, this will be top priority on my next shopping trip. I would also like to get the Liquid Liner & Lash Overaly in Bronze though I think that I will mostly use it as a liner.

This collection totally makes up for the last Smashbox collection, I have noticed that their Spring and Fall always seem tot he be the two strongest every year.
