Exclusive: Smashbox Cosmetics coming soon to Malaysia!

February 6, 2009 Paris B 28 Comments

Smashbox Cosmetics coming to Malaysia

A little birdie hopped on my shoulder and whispered in my ear that Smashbox Cosmetics will be coming into Malaysia soon!

I’ll bring more news as and when I hear of it. Ooh… exciting! 🙂

The only product I’ve tried from Smashbox thus far is their Fusion Softlights blush. I got them in Dimension and Gossamer.

Smashbox Fusion Softlights Gossamer Dimension

Dimension turned out too warm for my colouring – its a lovely warm peach with shimmer – and is now residing with someone who will love it more than I ever can.

Gossamer is a slightly cooler toned blush with pink tones. The stripes look lilac and purple but swirled together, it applies a lovely cool-warm pink. You have to be careful not to over do it though. I found the pigment light and sheer so it isn’t too hard to control. Also, the shimmer wasn’t overboard – just enough to highlight your cheekbones.

I’d be keen to try more from Smashbox in future, especially their celebrated primer. Have you tried anything from Smashbox Cosmetics? Is there anything you are looking forward to trying?

Update: Smashbox Cosmetics is now in Malaysia!

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

      Hi Vonvon

      No news on when yet but I’ll report when I know. Benefit is ok to me – overpriced in Malaysia unfortunately.

      Hi plain.jane

      I’m not expecting Smashbox to come cheap. After all its a department store brand. We’ll have to wait and see I guess.

    That’s great! 😀 I can come back here to stock up Smashbox because they’re overpriced in Prague. Maybe NARS should come to Malaysia too!

    My cosmetics shopping in KL a few weeks ago was awesome even though I was at KLCC only this time. I went to MAC and the MA who served me was very helpful and friendly.

    yay!!!..so glad smashbox coming to malaysia!!.:)…hopefully after this NARS, and also other drugstore brand like Max Factor, Covergirl,NYX…
    my thoughts saying that smashbox price range probably like between MAC, Bobbi Brown, or MUFE:)..hopefully, because this is more toward affordable department brand cosmetics.:)

      Hi Far

      I was so pleased to hear it too! I’d expect the prices to be higher than MAC etc though as they aren’t cheap to start with. Still I guess we’d have to wait and see.

    Brilliant! It should still be cheaper than Australia, so I should be able to restock my primers when I’m back in M’sia 😀

    Hello Paris..:)

    on a second thought, I also think their price will be higher than MAC, probably somewhere like Benefit, but I also believe Benefit is overrated..:(, hey, I just discovered a malaysian website selling Smashbox stuffs http://www.impianwanita.com …but just certain products…I have Smashbox Photo Finish primer, its like an instant botox!!.:P..haha just kidding.:P. I love their primer!!.:). I’m looking forward to try their liquid foundation..:)…so excited, they should bring Sephora here with all those brands not available in Malaysia..:)..have a nice day paris!.:)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Smashbox!

    The 1st counter has been opened 2 weeks ago, at PParkson Pavilion 🙂

    Just got a tinted moisturiser and the SA gave me a few sachets of photofinish primer to try on, enough for at least a week 😀 I’m so happy with the tinted moisturiser and the primer 🙂 wonderful primer 🙂

    I can see why everyone loves Smashbox! Hope the retail price is cheaper compare to StrawberryNet as I was about to shop from there, the only place I can stock up my fave brand -SB; apparently my short call for Smashbox. Currently using their cream eye liner-Image (olive green) and eye shadow-Safari & Serpent (both green colours). And guess what…I love them!
    I know I will definitely get my hands on their Photo Finish Light primer, Photo Finish Colour Correcting Green, JetSet Waterproof Eye Liner, Brush #10, #20 & #22, and especially Brow Tech, its a signature product of theirs too..uh oh I really need to buck up to get load all these!!

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
