Smashbox Halo HD Foundation/ Kohl Eye Liner and Blemish Control Primer Review

November 14, 2013 in Beauty, Launches, Makeup Reviews, Reviews, Skincare

I have so much love for Smashbox. It is just such a fun and innovative brand. The products are always amazing and I have yet to be disappointed by any item of theirs that I have used. The brand itself was born out of the famous L.A Smashbox studio. Smashbox have launched some ahhmazing products and I recently attended a super fun event where I got to learn more about these products as well as have a mini photoshoot myself.

I will be doing a Beauty Haul Vlog that goes into more detail about all of the above but for now allow me to introduce Smashbox’s “Instagram Filter” in a bottle. Their Liquid Halo HD Foundation contains actual light-reflecting particles that offer an incredible glow, each pigment is encapsulated in a translucent gel to create a natural lit-from-within-glow. I love to glow, while we all prefer a matte t-zone and entirely matte face ages one and a glow imitates a more youthful healthy vibrance. It also contains a SPF 15 and at only R370 it really is well-priced. Five tiny pumps and my face has perfectly light coverage.

Next is a product that I am sure many of you are going to love…Smashbox Photo Finish Blemish Control primer. Smashbox has over 13 different primers and all of them are suited to the changing needs of ones skin. Blemish control is ideal for those who suffer from oily skin, pimples and even acne. It contains salicylic acid which treats and prevents breakouts. It also offers oil-free hydration and I have been using it every day since receiving it. My skin has felt soft, makeup is easier to apply and even though it feels siliconey it doesn’t actually contain any silicone.

Finally they have released Smashbox’s Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner, these babies are super long wearing. In fact they are impossible to budge without makeup remover. Another handy point is that they actually self-sharpen each and every time you twist the lid off. How awesome?!

We were then whisked away to hair and make-up and then it was mini-photo shoot time (to test the awesomeness of the products in front of a camera of course)!

This past week I’ve been in hospital. I went in This past week I’ve been in hospital. I went in for an emergency op three weeks ago and then there were complications. Which is why I’ve been so quiet. 

Aside, from all of the pain I’ve been going through. I’ve also been stressing about all of the work commitments I’ve missed. 

I haven’t put makeup on or even thought about beauty in weeks. I am however so relieved that I chucked these mini’s into my hospital bag. I was able to put this hair mask, from @sorbetgroup, on last night and properly wash my hair. The divine scent helped make me feel slightly more human again. Plus my hair is extremely soft! Although the #Sorbet Dry Shampoo has been superb, it’s all done now though. 

It’s amazing how appreciative one is simply by being able to do small things by oneself like wash your own hair or shower by yourself. Okay, a nurse still had to keep check on me but one stiletto at a time...

Looking “back” on the past year. It’s surrea Looking “back” on the past year. It’s surreal to even process how we have all changed. Adapted. 

I was enjoying the simple pleasure of breathing in fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun and knowing that through all the hardships I have and am still growing. I do finally feel the excitement that comes with a new year. It may not be the 1st of January but it is the first day of an entire year of South Africa working together to help one another, thrive and survive, and that is inspiring and motivating.

Richard and I took it super easy. I got to sleep in, was spoilt with coffee and later an untypical “picnic” and decided to have a little toast with some non-alcoholic @robertsonwinery sparkling wine 🥂. Last weekend I was in ER (Not COVID-19) but still better not to mix meds and alcohol just yet 😊

We then decided to do our own versions of relaxation. Him non-stop  sport and for me pampering with face masks and watching YouTube beauty gurus 💕
