Sneak Peek: Smashbox Faces of Fashion Set for QVC Today's Special Value

Smashbox will premier an exclusive set for a QVC Today's Special Value on Monday, August 27th - and I have your sneak peek at this 10 piece set.

 

The set comes in four color palettes: blonde, brunette, taupe, and auburn for the price of $47.82 plus shipping. It is a special good only on Monday August 27th.

Photo Finish primer contains grape seed extract and vitamins A and E to power your defenses against aging skin and fading foundation by filling in lines and pores. Photo Op under-eye brightener's skin-boosting ingredients like vitamin C, red wine extract, peptides, and marine collagen help fill in fine lines and conceal under-eye circles. Brow Tech defines your brows and helps them stay in place.

Lights Up! blush--with three shades to wear individually or layer--helps you achieve a natural glow. Fusion cream eyeliner includes three best-selling putty liners. The coordinated eye shadow trio can be mixed and matched for day or night.

Photo Finish lipstick with Sili-silk technology imparts a full, moist finish to lips. The moisturizing lip-enchancing gloss drenches lips in luminous color and high shine.

How do I use it: Apply Photo Finish Foundation Primer. Blend Photo OP Under-eye brightener to help conceal dark circles.

For perfect brows, apply Brow Tech with Angle brush #12. Just brush the pigment through, and follow with the wax for natural-looking brows that stay in place all day.

Dust Lights Up! blush on the apples of your cheeks. Sweep champagne eye shadow from your lashline to your contour. Blend the fawn shade along the top lash line for a subtle contrast. With Precision liner brush #28, apply Fusion cream eyeliner along the top and bottom lashline, and the inner corner of your eyes. To finish, apply the Photo Finish lipstick. Add a pop of lip gloss at the center of your bottom lip and cupids bow.

Tarte's New Ready-to-Wear/Pret-a-Porter Dual Look Palette.

Tarte's palettes are always so awe-worthy. Their latest palette, Ready-to-Wear/ Pret-a-Porter Dual Look Palette, was  inspired by the runways and looks at Fashion Week. This palette is certainly is a must-have.

This beauty has so much to offer and the looks created are absolutely stunning. Included in the palette are
six shadows (pale gold, golden olive, smokey moss, pale pink, lilac, deep violet), two creamy blushes (honey peach, rose), four lip creams (light pink, pinky nude, natural blush, warm burgundy rose), a mini Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara,  and a mini Rest Assured eye liner. There are also two brushes included, one for using with the powder shadows as an eye liner, and one fluffy eye shadow application brush.

If you ever bought these products separately, you would spend a pretty penny, upwards of $200, but the entire palette is just $44, exclusively at Sephora.

Oh, how I love using pigment. They are so fun to play with. I love to make my own lipglass out of them with the clear lipglass. The possibilities of using pigments are really endless. You just can't be afraid to play with them, and use your imagination.  Shadow, liner, highlighter, gloss, on your nails, in your hair. And these colors do not disappoint.
