Holiday 2010: Smashbox Says Make A Wish.

Not only do I love Smashbox Cosmetics and the great sets and palettes they put together for Holiday, but I love that they give back. Notice the word "wish", as that is the Smashbox Holiday theme.

You see, Smashbox is donating $1 for every WISH purchase up to $25,000 to CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK.  If you did not know, Children's Miracle Network is a non-profit organization that grants the wish of life by providing medical care, life-saving research and on-going education to help millions of kids overcome diseases and injuries of every kind. It is a charity that I have long supported, so I always make sure I pick up some Smashbox goodies to further help the effort.

The Smashbox Wish collection includes:

Eye Wish Palette - $45.00
For the makeup lover who craves a great eye look will find it all in this limited edition set.  With 12 shadows, 4 cream liners, a primer and mascara, this set really does have it all.

Wish for the Perfect Pout - $29.00
I have been highlighting a few of the glosses that come in this kit. All six shades are beyond gorgeous. Any lipgloss loving gal would love to have this kit.

Gloss of the Day: Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Aura.

This Lip Enhancing Gloss from Smashbox is such a perfect shimmery nude pink, that it adorns my lips more often than not these days. I like to wear Aura alone for a full on color pink nude, as it is a very opaque gloss, or on top of a darker lipstick shade that needs to be lightened up for my fair skin.


Price: $18.00
Availability: Smashbox.com, Sephora, Sephora.com

Gloss of the Day: Smashbox Lipgloss in Luster.

This Smashbox lipgloss in the shade Luster is one of my most favorite golden pink shades ever. Luster is found in a full size in it's limited edition Wish For The Perfect Pout holiday set. I have also seen it offered in a duo set at Ulta.

Price: $29.00 in a set, with five other glosses
Availability: Sephora, Sephora.com, Smashbox, QVC, Ulta
