Smashbox for Burlesque


I have been on the hunt for the perfect red lip for what seems like ages. On a recent trip to Sephora, my prayers were answered and I found my ideal red in a lip gloss. Downside, it happened to be part of a set. At first it annoyed me ("Thats all i want, why must i inherit this other junk", I thought). But I must admit, I'm pretty happy with this set. Smashbox for Burlesque contains 4 items: a limitless liquid liner pen in "Jet Black", a shadow quad in "Risque", a loose shimmer in "Burlesque", and a double ended lip gloss in "Peep/Show".


Now, my thoughts on each of the items:
The pigmentation in the liquid liner is opposite of wimpy, so you better know what your doing. I need to practice.
Pièce de résistance: The double-ended lip gloss. Perfection. I even like the pinky ended side. Win-win baby!


The quad has all the colours I'll ever need. A perfect item to take on short trips to create a gorgeous eye.
The loose shimmer = LOVE! I have close-set eyes, so a hint of shimmer is necessary in my inner corners. I've been getting pretty tired with my regular ol' white shimmer. Well, enter this romantic, pinky-toned shimmer and life becomes un-boring. I even use it as an all over lid colour on days I am rocking a basic look.
The packaging should even get a mention; the lids feature a fishnet design on both the quad and the shimmer. 



Find the set at your local Sephora. I haven't seen the movie yet, but if its anything like the Smashbox for Burlesque set, I'll love it!
