Smashbox Eyelights Palette

I have had this palette for ages and use it off and on. It's a really great color combination and looks great with my light skin and blue/grey/greenish eyes. I don't know if I'm so affectionate towards it (I would refer to it as my favorite palette if asked) because I stole it off my sister or because it was one of the first palettes I ever owned (yes, mine is that old), but I do think it's great ...read morequality/colors. I won't describe them because some of these reviews have done better than I ever could. I don't have any exact dupes for any of them in my stash and it's very easy to carry around/has yet to break. I get some fallout if I don't use a good brush, but it's minimal. I have even debated buying another just to have it, but have so far managed to talk myself out of it. Wow- these colors are gorgeous when worn together!! This is the 3 shadow palette from Smashbox called "Strobe"- The first color is a shimmery champagne/cream color which really brightens the inner corner or the highlight of your eye- like someone mentioned previously, it reminds me of MAC Phloof. The second shade is a really gorgeous silvery-blue which really brightens up my eyes and doesn't look goofy- I've never thought of wearing blue e/s because I'm not very daring when it comes to make-up and I'm usually very neutral, but this blue paired with the 3rd color (I'm about to mention) looks so perfect together!! The 3rd color is a beautiful, cool, taupe/brown. I also don't wear a lot of browns because they tend to be very warm- Definitely not the case for this shade. It's cool and goes perfect with the blue. I was playing with this palette when I first got it, and just did a quick job with very little effort, and it came out looking awesome!! I used the blue in the middle/lower eyelid, then the brown in the crease, and then used the highlight color for the inner corners and below the brow area. It looks so gorgeous and professional, and I swear it was effortless! These shadows are nicely blendable and creamy. The shimmer is perfect for that eye-catching look, but not too over-the-top or glittery in any way. Very sophisticated. Sleek black case comes with mirror and a dual-ended brush- one with the typical shadow sponge applicator and the other end with a slanted bristle applicator. I can't even begin to describe how much I love this trio. It's AMAZING. This would be my first smashbox eyeshadow, so I was excited about it. It's pretty expensive, but it's definitely worth it! You won't regret buying it, especially if you have almost white skin like me, because these colors complement my skin-tone =] I usually avoid shimmery eyeshadows, but this one drew my attention and I just had to buy it. These feel so SOFT when you apply it on your finger, almost like silk! The colors are easy to apply and easy to remove, they're long lasting and give you a smooth, warm look. The only bad thing about this would be the packaging. It's a beautiful palette, but the case catches so much dust or eyeshadow and makes it look ugly =[ However you can wash it off with just a little bit of water, so no worries =P Would DEFINITELY repurchase.

Must have

This set of eye shadows is really great, I'm 24 and the one I have has a shimmery cream, almost white eyeshadow, a shimmery gray and a shimmery black. I absolutely recommend the set. It looks really natural and I love the fact that it the usual brush it comes with has a special brush you can use to put on the black eyeshadow as an eyeliner.
