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.
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,

OMG!! I can’t believe this! When is it coming? More new cosmetics to try….good and bad. Good cos gotta try new stuff…their products are very pretty. bad cos need to spend more money lor….sigh. means have to save up some, no, more money. I’m quite into Benefit now. Already quite an expensive brand here in Malaysia. Sigh!
Hi Vonvon
No news on when yet but I’ll report when I know. Benefit is ok to me – overpriced in Malaysia unfortunately.
wanna try them too.. but not sure if the price is right..
Vonvon.. i like Benefit too, but i think they are over-rated :P
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.
Plain.jane,
Yeah, I agree with you about Benefit. just wait for their warehouse sale lor. Do my posts on Benefit in my blog. Cheers!
Definitely Smashbox Photofinish primer is worth trying :) The brushes too! :) Yay to Malaysia for having Smashbox coming over!
Hey Nikki
And Yay to one more reason you can visit! ;)
EEEEEEEEEEE!!! *cartwheels*
my poor pocket…
Hey Kahani
I know right. Sigh… Better buck up on the day job
That’s great! :D 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.
Hi Amanda
Glad you had a good shopping trip and that MAC was nice to you hehe… Share your hauls some time yeah? :)
ahhh… really can’t wait! Hope the prices won’t go overboard
Hi Connie
I hope they are listening! I’m expecting department store prices so I’m not getting my hopes up TOO high.
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 :D
omg!! i love smashbox stuff, tried their lipgloss and skin tint, it was good! can’t wait for it to be in Msia …
wow! nice !
hope more japanese drugstore brand comes in though
Hi Cynthia
I am hoping the same too :)
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!.:)
Cant wait till their in malaysia…… Wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loooove. I have the Smashbox Lip Enhancing gloss in Surge. Love the color and the texture!
I’ve read in the current copy of Female magazine that Smashbox has hit our shores already, but I haven’t seen it around! Do you have any news about it?
Hi Jo,
I haven’t been around nor have I received any news. I’ll post if I do. Thanks
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 :D 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!!
I tried the Smashbox Photo Finish primer once.Its was simply superb.Im staying in USJ and where can i get this product?
As in the post its 1 Utama. The other counter is in Parkson Pavilion KL
