I like their eyeshadows. They have really good staying power and pigments but I haven't really bought anything from their line in a few years. I've been sticking with Stila and Too Faced products

I've been wanting something for brows and I keep thinking about their brow tech.  I think I might just give it a try.

I like Smashbox lipglosses....my favorite color during my more rocker days was Smashing Idol, a deep red with iridescent sparkles.

I also like their cream eyeliners...takes a little bit of practice and a steady hand, but they stay on forever and look great.

I really like their lip glosses, too. They always run out really, really quickly for me though...so I don't always buy them.

I bought this set a while ago from Smashbox - it is a good way to test out the products bc I got a sampling of lots of stuff.
All Access VIP Beauty Must-Haves ($167 Value) 

Photo Finish Foundation Primer - love this, a little goes a long way and your makeup lasts all day.

Cream Eyeliner in Caviar - nice formula, but I like other gel formulas better.

Soft Lights in Tint, .06 oz - this is a blush-like highlighter. I like it as a blush, its very subtle, reminds me of Benefit Dandelion.

Brow Tech Trio (brown, taupe, and Brow Tech Wax) - love love love this. I am blonde so the brown color remained unused for a while until I realized that it made a great eye liner.

Eye Shadow Trio in Smashbox.com - the colors were very pigmented and blended nicely

Lipgloss in 35mm - love this, its like liquid lipstick.

Cream Eyeliner Brush and Angled Brow brush - both great quality, full sized brushes. I will keep these for years.

Hope that helps!

Smashbox Lipsticks are on the dry side; but I kind of like that.  If I want it to be less dry, I can add a little balm after I apply the color.  The option is nice; and you really can't go the other way with gooey or slick lipsticks and get the same intended effect with the color. 

I don't know if SB makes different formulas, but the color I have is called Sequel--a good, neutral pinky brown.

I LOVE Smashbox.

I have the kit that Xtina mentioned.

I really like their lipgloss, eyeshadows and creme eyeliner. The brow tech is good too. I also have used their primer and the bronze primer too (they call it photofinish). I'm not crazy about their mascara, and their blushes aren't bad, but aren't my favorite either. I have not tried their foundation or cover up or powder.

They have an amazing mattifier. It's the best I've ever used.

This is the kit I got.  I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
