Hi, ladies!
Here's one of my new loves in the beauty department, Smashbox "Click You're It" Eye Holiday Palette. I know this is not a new product by any means, I've been eyeing around for some time and then I saw it on StrawberryNet in January, it was around 12 Euro on sales. That was a great deal as this palette retails for around 37 Euro (49 $)! It's actually my first Smashbox product ever and I dare say I want to try out more of their stuff.
The palette consists of 15 pressed eyeshadows, 12 shimmery ones with just 3 matte shades and 5 cream eyeshadows/eyeliners. There was also a mini primer, but this palette came without it. There is also a large mirror and a booklet with some eye looks that can be achieved with this palette.
The packaging is cute but nothing fancy, a bright red cardboard case. It's kind of big but sturdy enough to bring it along for travelling.
I was very impressed with the quality of the eyeshadow, they are all pigmented, easy to blend, and very soft and smooth, almost like butter. The color pay off is great for all the shades and there is some fall out, but nothing too disturbing.
I love that there is such a great variety of colors in here, the matte nude colors are great as a base eye color, I just wished there was also a matte brown transition shade for smokey eyes looks. The cream shades were a nice discovery as they are not dry at all, but very creamy and pigmented. They are great as gel eyeliners also, love them.
The shades doesn't have names, just numbers, but that works just as good to identify them. Let's see the pressed eyeshadow swatches:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
2 is a shimmery rose pink shade.
3 is a satiny light grey/silver shade.
4 is a light pale peach nude matte shade.
5 is a light pale beige vanilla matte shade.

16 is dark deep purple plum shade.
17 is jet black shade.

19 is a dark chocolate brown shade.
20 is warm gold shade.
Overall, I can only say that love this palette, I was pleasantly surprised by the great quality in the shadows, the great color selection and their pigmentation. And the creams are just amazing as a base or as liners, so smooth and creamy. My favorites shades are 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 18 and 19!
This can be still found on StrawberryNET, but it's not on sale anymore, and I also saw it on Ebay and ACW Cosmetics. The prices vary but with a little luck, you might get at a great price still and keep in mid that this is almost a 250$ value! How cool is that?
Love at first brush
