This Reign Isn't Going To Last Long...

Smashbox's Fall Reign collection was released, and I immediately was drawn to the Reign Fusion Blush in Regal. Described as a peachy nude with both a matte and shimmer side, I ordered it and waited excitedly for it to be delivered. I instantly fell in love with the swanky packaging, and eagarly opened the compact...and stared in horror at the brownish orange shade of blush. What?!?!? I mean, seriously--look how gorgeous the color is in the picture! The blush made my face look dirty, and I can't imagine the shade would be flattering on anyone. I wouldn't have minded so much if the picture hadn't been so misleading. I feel cheated!

Pretty in Peeptoes

Get pretty in peep toes with this Smashbox palette inspired by Seychelles' spring shoe collection. Includes a removable gold makeup palette packed five shadows (Vanilla, Pink Champagne, Taupe, Dark Teal, Light Purple), a cream liner (Grey Putty) and a blush/soft-lights duo (Coral/Shimmering Gold), all housed in a sleek mirrored checkbook wallet. I love the slim design, and that the blush is big--that's normally the first item I run out of in a palette. Available exclusively at Nordstrom and Smashbox.com.

Smashbox Untamed

Unleash your wild side with our lush, tropical safari-inspired collection for eyes, cheeks and lips. Sultry, exotic shades and luxurious, creamy textures create a sexy summer smolder.

I love Smashbox, but this collection just seems a little too dark for Summer. It feels like more of a Fall collection to me. The only product I'm interested in is the Eye Brightener, which I think would be great in an evening bag as a quick makeup pick-me-up.
