Smashbox Newbies: A Haul (kind of)

The following items from Smashbox were a gift at Christmas but I'm gonna do this post in the style of a haul as opposed to a 'what I got for Christmas' post.  I was lucky enough to receive all of these goodies from my brother.  He knows me too well:


The lipglosses:




The gloss with the white lid I've actually had before and I LOVE it... it's such a good versatile gloss!  The last gloss pictured in the tube is something I am DYING to try... it is 'intuitive' and when applied turns to the perfect berry shade apparently!

The eye palette:


This is such a handy little palette  complete with 3 liners, 4 shadows and a double ended brush to help with application.  Plus the colours are GORGE!

The blushes:




Smashbox blushes are good blushes... in fact I think I own more smashbox blushes than any other brand.  I haven't tried either of these yet but I know I'm gonna love them.  I think the soft lights duo will be fab come summer months and 'Charm', well, that just looks uber pretty!!

The brushes:
 


I really believe that Smashbox brushes are up there with MAC.  My brother kindly got me the angled blush brush and the retractable lip brush.  I've used both and they're winners!!

Photo Finish Primer:


I've tried many primers but this is the one I come back to time and time again.  This is the travel size so it is in a tube rather than the pump which I don't actually mind as the pump dispenser does have a habit of breaking I have found!

Expect reviews coming up on these products in coming weeks.  I am a HUGE smashbox fan, the quality, ease of use and versatility of the products win me over.

Have you delved into smashbox yet?  Is it a brand you're a fan of?
