Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara Review

Hello my beauties. Only two days left till Christmas, who else is as excited as I am? Today I have a quick review for you, review of Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara. The size I have is the travel size becuase I got it in the Smashbox Best Sellers kit, the full size mascara has 0.38 oz (11 g I think) of product and it retails for $19.

The Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara wand is,what I call typical  mascara wand. It's not too big nor too small,personally I don't find it hard to work with. From pictures you see, the result is good but not something that would make me say "Wow". Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara supposed to be a volumizing and lengthening mascara.If you ask me it does add volume and length but not 100% more, I would say it gives 50% more volume and length. It does kinda hold the curl but it doesn't curl the lashes on it's own, at least on me it doesn't. If you curl your lashes after you applied the mascara you will very soon see some mascara flakes under your eyes. One big plus is that the mascara is paraben free!
Overall it is a quite good mascara but personally I prefer the Max Factor false lash effect and the Benefit Badgal lash mascaras.Have you tried this one? Let me know what's your favorite mascara?

Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte Review

Hello my beauties :) Today I will review my current favorite bronzer, the Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte and I got this bronzer in the Smashbox best sellers kit. This one has 3g of product while the full size has, I think, 8g of product. I haven't tried any smashbox products before this is one of my first products from them and I'm really impressed with it!

The packaging of the small size Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte, the one I have, is completely different from the full size one. Mine is black,plastic with kinda soft rubber feeling when you touch it while the full size one is coppery, goldish kinda color with metallic finish. Personally I kinda prefer the black packaging.

The Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte isn't very opaque, when applied with brush is has light - medium coverage but it's very buildable. The color is medium brown and of course,as the name says, it has matte finish which makes it perfect for contouring because you don't really want to contour with shimmery bronzer! Because it isn't very opaque it will work great with light - medium skins but I wouldn't say that this would work good as bronzer for darker skin tones.

This fits me perfectly and it is the perfect color to contour with. I love the fact that it's not too opaque because I have more control of the amount I apply,besides it's always easier to add more than to remove! The only "negative" thing I can say is that it fades kinda fast, on me it lasts for about 3-4 hours and then it starts to fade but I think that the foundation you use will affect how long it will stay on since you apply it over the foundation! Also because the first ingredient is Talc, in the packaging, the bronzer has talc kinda smell but don't worry, when you apply it you won't smell anything!

Overall I love love this bronzer and I'm definitely thinking of buying the full size but it is quite pricey,$29. I would definitely suggest it to anyone with light-medium skin.

Have you tried this bronzer? What's your favorite bronzer? Let me know in the comment below :)
