Smashbox Wicked Lovely Cream Liner and Shimmer Review

By Audrey Dao, on March 12th, 2009,

Smashbox Wicked Lovely Cream Liner and Shimmer ($32 now $24) are part of the Wicked Lovely Collection. Three sultry cream liners and a sparkling loose shimmer in one mirrored pot! The liners provide totally customizable eye definition that doesn’t flake, run or tug. This mistake-proof formula is a great tool for the perfect smoky eye, and is ultra-blendable to create a range of eye looks! The loose shimmer provides the finishing touch for wickedly lovely eyes. The three cream liner colors are (left to right): metallic taupe, metallic bronze, and metallic charcoal. The top of the packaging flips open to reveal a mirror and the three cream liners. Underneath the liners, in a pot that unscrews from the liners, is the loose shimmer. The liners apply very easily and stay on all day, just be sure to set it with powder. I don’t really care for the loose shimmer. I only use it for a night out on the town. I prefer not to shimmer during the day.

Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner Review

By Audrey Dao, on March 1st, 2009,

I own Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner ($22) in bronze. It is a deep bronze color. I usually don’t use waterproof eyeliner, but I wanted an eyeliner that would give me a crisp, polished look. I would have to agree that this eyeliner is waterproof, but it certainly isn’t smudge proof. After attending a concert, I discovered that a bit of the eyeliner had smudged or disappeared. When you apply it, you have to be quick to apply because it dries fairly quickly. You also have to be sure you close the lid shut or the eyeliner will dry out. The first time you use the eyeliner, it goes on smoothly. After the initial use, it gets more difficult to apply with each use due to drying out so easily and quickly. Even though Smashbox is one of my go-to makeup products, I would prefer an eyeliner that isn’t so high maintenance.
