May 04, 2010/

Smashbox wants us to celebrate our natural beauty with it's summer collection called Naked Beauty. It is a collection featuring sheer summer shades and beautifully bare formulas. From shimmering nudes to soft pinks, the collection is packed with nearly-naked shades for eyes, lips and cheeks.

NAKED BEAUTY LIP GLOSS COLLECTION -$25
In an array of barely-there shades, this set of eight mini glosses infuses lips with just the right amount of color and shine for a naturally beautiful finish. bThe following shades are included: BARE (sandwashed pink), BUFF (sheer soft peach), NAKED (shimmering champagne), NUDE (creamy nude pink), EXPOSED (bubblegum pink), NATURAL (rosebud pink), SUNKISSED (shimmering golden brown), PURE (juicy melon)

HALO HYDRATING PERFECTING BRONZER - $39
Give skin a barely-there glow with HALO HYDRATING PERFECTING BRONZER, a revolutionary formula designed to impart a naturally naked sun-kissed glow while dramatically minimizing the signs of aging. More than just makeup, the potent powder is an active skin treatment that fights signs of aging below the surface while infusing skin with luminous radiance.

I have been using the Creamy Cheek Color and Highlighter Palette almost everyday since I received it. It gives off such a nice soft flush to the cheeks and the highlighter, which you need just a small bit of, really makes me glow. Now I want to try more. Next time I am at Sephora, I will most likely splurge on the lip gloss set and the Halo Bronzing powder.

Get your Naked Beauty on now, as these beauties just launched at Smashbox.com, Sephora, Ulta and Nordstrom.
