Art. Love. Color | Smashbox

Hello lovely reader! There is snow on the ground and it is freezing outside, which means it is a perfect Sunday for wearing slippers all day, staying inside, reading a book fireside, and relaxing. One way that I like to relax is through drawing and coloring. I love to pic a playlist on spotify, and just draw. I have always loved art and when I heard about Smashbox's new "Art. Love. Color" line, of course I was intrigued.




As soon as I saw the packaging, I was excited! It features artwork by Yago Hortal and as you may assume is full of color. I was given the "studio set" as a gift from my mom before finals week, and I was in the love with the canister before even looking at the products which were just as nice! The colors offer a natural look but you can create a darker eye with the platinum and eggplant eyeshadows! The lipstick is also a beautiful shade of pink that can be worn now in the wintertime but also in the spring.



The set contains a mascara, two eyeshadow trios, a lipstick, and a lipgloss

Eyeshadow Trio "Aubergine, Bare, Nude"

Eyeshadow Trio "Cocoa, Fortune, and Platinum"


Full Exposure Mascara "Jet Black"
Be Legendary Lip Gloss "Disco Rose"
Be Legendary Lipstick "Primrose"

Check out the other available sets in the collection here!

Do you have a favorite set or product? Xx

Makeup Favorites | What I'm Currently Loving

Hi lovely reader! How are you today? Last month I tried some new makeup products and I also used up one of my other favorite products. So I thought I would share these products with you in a little haul styled post. Enjoy!

I got this from Nordstrom Rack at the beginning of last month for something ridiculous like $12?!? The price was unbeatable so I had to get it. It's the "Too Faced Brow Envy Kit". This particular packaging isn't available anymore but I'm pretty sure the current kit is basically the same thing. It contains a setting wax, highlighter, and two shades depending on if you're blonde or brunette. There are also a pair of tweezers, a brush, and a shaping tool. They include stencils too, which I personally do not use. I fill in my brows with the brunette shade and it compliments my skin and hair color well. I'm extremely happy with the quality of the kit and would definitely recommend it if you can get it for the price I did!

This next product was one of my first higher end makeup products, ahh the memories! It is the "Smashbox Bronze Lights Skin Perfecting Bronzer" now I will say this is the one and only type of bronzer I have ever used, so I am a bit biased, but I really love this product! The previous pot I had was much smaller but it lasted forever, so I can't imagine how long this one will last. The shade I use is Suntan Matte. My skin is fairly light, especially in the winter so I have found that this shade works perfect! It costs $30 which can seem like a lot, but like I said, it lasts a long time so I think it is worth it.

I mentioned this mascara in a previous post but I decided to mention it again because I still am obsessed with how it makes my lashes look! The "CoverGirl Bombshell Curvaceous by Lashblast" is amazing! It is double ended the one for length and the other for volume. I am not kidding when I say that it makes you look like you are wearing false lashes. The cost is great and the quality is nice too. Love it!

Finally, is a new primer I purchased last week, it is the "e.l.f. Studio Eye Primer & Liner Sealer". As you may have seen in previous makeup posts, I love e.l.f.! It's super cheap and the quality is great. The primer has been working well, I can put it on in the morning and then go to take it off at night and not have any creasing issues. I haven't tried the eyeliner sealer yet. It costs $3 and lasts all day!

What makeup products are you currently loving? Have you used any of these products before? Xx
