One of my favorite products from Smashbox is their lip plumper. Unlike other lip plumpers that really over do it, this one gives you a luscious, naturally-looking yet plump pout. Recently, I discovered that Sephora was offering the Smashbox O-PLUMP Intuitive Lip Plumper as bonus in their Gloss & Glow Kit.
This kit features the plumper, along with O-GLOSS Intuitive Lip Color and O-GLOW Intuitive Cheek Color. These products offer a pretty shade of pink that you are sure to love.
Be careful when using it though — a little goes a long way, particularly with the O-GLOW. So use just a …read more

The secret to getting smooth, dewy skin? Makeup primer. Rather than applying layer after layer of foundation to try to even out your skin tone, start with a light layer of makeup primer to create a smooth canvas and minimize the amount of foundation and powder you will have to subsequently apply.
What is interesting about Smashbox Hybrid 2 in 1 Luminizing Primer is that it is more than just primer. With ‘artificial light’ to highlight that natural inner glow, you could possibly even get away with just a light layer for days where you want to keep your makeup to …read more
