Smashbox Full Exposure Waterproof Mascara: The kind of mascara that gets better over time

Tell me. Can you leave the house without mascara on? I know most people feel naked without eyeliner. To be frank, I can live without eyeliner. I just can’t skip eyebrow and mascara. Ever since I discovered mascara and the difference it makes with and without, I make sure I apply at least a quick coat even when I had brittle lashes at one point of time.

It takes some time to know if a mascara is good. Some mascara tend to wow at first application but sucks later on and some mascara doesn’t perform well at the beginning especially when it’s new but gets better as the content dries up a little. This is what happen with me and Smashbox Full Exposure Waterproof Mascara.

Smashbox Full Exposure Waterproof Mascara
Smashbox Full Exposure Waterproof Mascara is actually a waterproof version of the brand’s best-selling mascara – the Full Exposure Mascara. I’ve not used the non-waterproof version before as I only use waterproof mascara so I can’t really tell you what’s the different. This waterproof version however is inspired by on-set technique of layering lengthening fiber mascara over a volumizing formula. It is said to exposes longest, fullest lashes, with no clumps and no flakes.

Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer & Photo Finish Foundation Primer: Not a necessity for others but a daily must-have for me

Primers are what deemed as optional product. Some people don’t think it’s necessary while some like me couldn’t live without primer for the face and for the eyes. My skin goes through ups and downs. Sometimes I had makeup meltdown and sometimes it’s as fresh as applied in the morning. It drives me crazy!

As I said before in my On The Rocks Holiday Collection, Smashbox is the least talk about brand. The only time I heard or saw Smashbox is either on Photo Finish Lid Primer or Full Exposure Palette. But the most talk about is still their wide range of primers. Overall there are a total of 10 primers within the brand, eight of them is face primer while two is lid primer and under eye primer.

Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner: A recent discovery that I wish I’d known earlier

Although I don’t have a clear, even lip line especially on the bottom lip, I’m not used to applying lip liner before lip stick. Generally are you’re aware, I have dry, chapped, wrinkly lips, and lip liner will dry or accentuate the lip wrinkles even more. It is only last year I started to wear lip liner when I’m feeling the tiny bit fancy for the day but I wear it in a different way, which I will share with you soon. 2015 is the year that totally change me when it comes to liner liner, thanks to Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner. I was so thrilled that Smashbox include two of their Always Sharp Lip Liner for me to review and the shades that I got are Fuchsia, my favourite shade of all and Nude Light, the PERFECT nude shade.

Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner
The name Always Sharp Lip Liner is self-explanatory. At first I wasn’t aware that the name actually do mean what it mean. I thought it’s just a product name without thinking deep. You know me. I’m always blur lol. Smashbox created this awesome lip liner that self-sharpens every time you twist the cap off. HOW AWESOME IS THAT? The idea came from Marilyn. Audrey. Angelina, icons who prove that one of our core beauty beliefs that a lip can make a legend. Inspired by these perfect pouts. So Smashbox created this product that not only to Self-Sharpening but also a product to Glide-On Shaping and Color-Match Sculpting legendary lips.

Holiday Gift Guide 2014: Smashbox On The Rocks Holiday Collection

Among all the brands, Smashbox is the least talk about brand and that includes their On The Rock Holiday 2014 Collection. I didn’t know Smashbox came out with a holiday collection until I saw the display last week at Sephora IOI City Mall. The only YouTuber that I’ve watch a few weeks ago talking about Smashbox holiday collection is Shaaanxo.

Let me show you how gorgeous and how underrated Smashbox On The Rock Holiday 2014 Collection really are. I love them!

Smashbox On The Rocks Holiday 2014 Collection
There are a total of seven holiday sets found on http://www.smashbox.com/collections/on-the-rocks-holiday-2014-collection. Once again, I am not sure if Sephora Malaysia carries the whole lot of seven or it’s selective. So you have to make you way to Sephora store personally to find out more about it kay? 🙂
