THE 90s CALLED and they want you to try the latest and greatest from one of its most popular makeup brands, Smashbox.

Shaking up the local beauty scene yet again, beauty juggernaut Smashbox Cosmetics introduces a fresh selection of head-turners to the Philippine market. Bringing no less than a curated assemblage of pigment-packed beauty essentials, Smashbox fulfills the wishes of beauty junkies and makeup hoarders by officially launching the Cover Shot Eye Palette, Spotlight Palette and Always On Matte Liquid Lipsticks.

While the collection only has 3 major components, the colour selection totally makes up for it. I'm personally very excited about this because of the packaging (so travel and purse friendly) and consistency of payoff. Locally, there are 4 eye shadow palettes, 1 highlighter palette, and 11 liquid lipsticks available at Beauty Bar.

Taking inspiration from the of-the-moment trends that breeze through the doors of the iconic Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles, the Cover Shot Eye Palettes are equal parts diverse and hard-hitting. Each swipe packs a punch of heavy-duty color in a single swipe. Giving beauty aficionados all the elements needed to create unforgettable eye makeup looks, each pocket-sized palette houses six high-pigment colors and two base shades that blend like a charm.

Here's a closer look at the 4 eye shadow palettes:

Golden Hour

Blaze

Matte

I have this and I love its flexibility and pigmentation!

Metallic

Just when you thought strobing is a thing of the past, this collection also has the collab between Smashbox and YouTube’s own highlighting guru, Casey Holmes. The Spotlight Palette in Pearl (Php 1800) houses 3 irresistibly "perf lighting every time" shades:

Blow a Fuse, Crank It Up and Turn It On

Blow a Fuse is a great day time shimmer-highlighter while Crank It Up really cranks the volume up giving you that perfect punch of highlight at night. If you have the need to blind everyone with your highlighting game, Turn It On (being a high shine shade) can definitely do the job!

Last but not the least, this collection also boasts of a rave worthy lip product range aptly called Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick (Php 1250). It comes in 11 gorgeous shades that's stuck with me through a work day, dinner, and dessert without drying my lips (thanks to its Primer Oil Complex). My favourites?  Miss Conduct, Dream Huge, and Babe Alert. <3
