I think it’s well and truly settled that I’m a palette addict, I own more than I could ever use and I don’t see the need to collect slowing down anytime soon. Introducing the Smashbox Softbox Eye Palette.
This is a neutral eyeshadow palette that comes with 9 eye shadows, 2 liners (or cream shadows), an eye primer and a duo ended brush.
I haven’t used this palette enough to give it a proper rating, but I have to say in the short time I have used it, I really love it! I found all the eye shadow powders to be very pigmented and easy to work with 🙂 You can create a range of neutral / spring time wearable looks, all the way to a brown smokey eye.
One thing I loved is how pigmented the liners were, a big step up from the quality in Smashbox’s Wishbox from their holiday line last year.
The palette comes with a useable applicator, a duo ended brush, one a liner and one a fluffy shadow brush. Much better than the typical sponge applicators that I never use, I’m a brush person through and through, The massive mirror is a nice touch too.
I suppose one down side is there is no place for the primer to sit in this palette, not to mention the general size of it. The width is about the same as my hand, but the length is much longer. So now sure how “travel” friendly this is (then again not all palettes needs to be travel friendly, but it’s always a plus if they are!)
If you’re looking for neutral shades that lean on the lighter side then this would be the perfect palette.
But if you’re looking for a potential Naked Palette dupe, move along~ This palette doesn’t offer the same range of darker shades. Still an amazing palette though 🙂
Gehhhhh, I waaaaaaaaaaant.
I don’t think it will suit you at all! I’ll bring baby NYX and big NYX for you to play with when I see you <3
