Unboxing Smashbox
Tis’ the season for beautiful beauty gifts – not the least of which can be found by perusing Smashbox’s amazing holiday lineup for 2015. I’m highlighting some of their latest and greatest fab finds, so jump on in with me!
The big news this season is Smashbox is teaming up with artist Yago Hortal, a Spanish artist that is known for his bold use of colour. His artwork has been applied to a new, limited edition collection referred to as the Art. Love. Colour. Collection. But that’s not the only influence Yago Hortal has had on this line, which features gorgeous, bold shades of colour too. The most graphic of all is the brush set ($79, $143 retail value) created for the line, which includes five high quality brushes for your foundation, lips, eyes, cheeks and brows. Available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart stores, this lovely canister of brushes, like all items in the lineup, can be handed over as is – no gift wrap required!
If you want to experience more of the collection at a fabulous price, be sure to snap up the Studio Set ($45, $93 value). This dreamy collection (available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix and Murale) features awesome essentials for your lids, lashes and lips, including two travel-sized Photo-Op Eyeshadow Trios, Full Exposure Mascara, and a Be Legendary Lipstick and Lip Gloss in a universally flattering pink hue. It’s an excellent choice for your best girl friend, sister, or any makeup maven in your midst.
If eyes are your giftee’s thing but she’s got a million eyeshadow palettes, go for something a little different with the Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liners ($48, $115 retail value). Available at Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix, Sephora and Murale, this incredible collection has five slick-as-butter liners that deliver bold colour and major staying power. From classic hues like brown and black to creative limited edition colours like plum and peacock, this is one eye-popping gift she’ll adore.
Of course, if eyeshadow really and truly is your thing, than look no further than the spectacular Master Class kit ($72, $375 retail value). This blockbuster palette contains 32 Photo-Op Eye Shadows in a vibrant spectrum of shades, plus 8 Blush / Highlighters and 9 tutorials to help you get the most from your new kit. This gorgeous palette is available exclusively at Sephora.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the lip side of things. Smashbox truly demonstrates with this colour that playful pops of colour don’t just have to be for your eyes. Their new Be Legendary Lip Glosses set ($25, $88 retail value) features five travel-sized glosses in punchy, non-sticky shades like apricot and cranberry. Whether gifted as a stocking stuffer or shared in a Secret Santa swap with your gal pals, there’s a shade for every girl (and outfit) in this superb collection. Available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix and Murale.
Believe it or not, there’s even more to the Art. Love. Colour. line than what I’ve shown you in this post! From their pretty Palettes to several other mini-collections to suit your makeup priorities, Smashbox has got your face literally covered this holiday season.

I’m pretty basic when it comes to makeup. The studio set (with everything I need for a “look”) or the brush set would be most useful. The others look like a lot of fun, but a bit intimidating!!

Would love to try this product
Hi Canadian Gift Guide 🙂
Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway for us Canadian babes 🙂 Smashbox has been one of my favorite brands for a while, since trying their famous Photoready Primer. However, I haven’t tried much else from the line. I’m sure many people are saying that the Master Class Lot would be their favorite product to get but I’d actually really love to get the Studio Set. Since I haven’t tried a whole lot from Smashbox this set would give me the perfect opportunity to try some mini or deluxe size products and then chose what I like and would want to repurchase. This set would also be perfect to break up into individual pieces and give someone as a gift this Holiday season!
