Smashbox Eye Wish Eye Palette – RM229 Limited Edition
The Smashbox Eye Wish eye palette is a limited edition offering for Christmas 2010. A gold box that holds 12 eyeshadows, 4 cream liners, 1 mascara and 1 mini Photo Finish Lid Primer plus a look book with 10 looks to guide you through the use of the palette.
Its pretty largish (I’ve used a coin to show the size of the shadows – pretty large) and I really like that they included a mini lid primer and mascara because it just completes the look. I’ve got a few more pictures after the jump if you’re keen :)
The colours don’t swatch as dark as they look. I like that. Its got a lovely creamy shimmery quality that gives iridescent colour. I’m not too much a fan of deep pigmented eyeshadow colours so it might be why I like this one.
I found the cream shadows less impressive. That said, I have yet to experiment with any looks with these due to not having much time, so I might change my mind later.
If you consider the price per shadow, its a pretty decent deal you’re getting for the price :)
Story is its coming in this week or next. Just in time for Christmas then :D Let me go play with this one for a spell and I’ll have swatches for you in a few… remind me if I get tardy ;)

AAAAHHHH!!! I WANT THIS I WANT THIS I WANT THIS!!!!
But the colors are rather similar, doncha think?
Err… no I didn’t think so LOL! I noticed they came in 4 colour families – browns, purples, blues and greys, if you run vertically down the palette. But of course, there’s no hard and fast rule how to use it :D
Ah…palettes for Christmas. They always seem to be very much of a good deal, so good until I have to self-declare pokai.Just saw Urban Decay’s 15th anniversary eyeliner set, great deal but at usd 92……..
Sigh. WIsh I’m born a millionaire. LOL.
Swatch em quickly, I wanna see too!
Palettes are the best deals ever! :D I saw pics of the UD eyeliner set too. Thank goodness the 24/7 eyeliners smudge like mad on me so am not in the least bit tempted. Still, I wonder how they thought anyone would pay US$92 for that when they have promo sets for Christmas every year anyway featuring a whole set of liners.
And I want to be a milionaire too… but gotta go it the hard way :P Swatches will come in a few
They work about to approximately RM 18-19 per eyeliner. For a brand like Urban Decay it’s a GREAT DEAL. ^.^ And now to find someone to get them for me…
When you work it out that way, ya, it is cheap! But to pop out $92..not cheap then coz we’d have to factor in shipping and such. And if it makes its way to M’sia via Sephora, I’d bet it’d be more than $92. I love UD eyeliners but guess I’d buy em during their FnF sales then. I don’t need all the colours..I suppose.
Afraid i’m with Jessica on this one. Its alright taken singularly but when you have to shell out the $92 at one go, it can hurt the pocket. Also its probably great for those who run through UD liners a lot and love them. I’m so glad I don’t ;)
Can’t wait for swatches .. whee! These don’t have glitter/sparkles in them do they? The price makes it a real good buy, so many choices this xmas.
Maybe it’s time for me to drop some hints for Xmas :D
No sparkles or glitter. Some have shimmer, others are matte :)
The Palette looks very very pretty and I love the cards with eye makeup drawing!
Yeah! That is certainly helpful and I’m glad they numbered the shadows too to make it easier :D
Just sooo soo pretty! Can’t wait for the swatches.
Coming right up! ;)
This look so pretty!!!! Now I’m torn between getting this or UD BOS3…
If you prefer something more intense and colorful with prettier packaging then its the Urban Decay Book of Shadows. I passed on the Urban Decay one mainly because of packaging (too bulky) and because the intensity of colours meant I wouldn’t use them for everyday :)
Finally found someone who’s agreeable with me on this considering all the hype I read about this pallete. I was at Sephora SG last weekend and tempted to get the BOS since the SA was saying it was the must have pallete (but I have to disagree, as for me it’s the Naked pallete – which was sadly out of stock!) but after deep thinking, it was definitely too bulky and I was sure I would not use them everyday. But, I’m thinking of getting the Smashbox as all the colours are my fav!! Can’t wait for the swatches!!
If you don’t like glitter re-think getting BOS3, about half the e/s have glitter – with massive fallout. The colors in this palette look pretty similar to BOS3 except they’re not as shimmery.
It looks interesting =) can’t wait for your review!
Coming soon :)
That’s gorgeous! I can’t wait for the swatches.
Hopefully next week if I don’t get tardy :P
yup, i saw this when my sister in law was busy arguing with One U Jusco’s salespersons… hehehe… the palette is heaven… sadly, I already have a palette which contains 88 colours… so, don’t want to stock up…
Oh the infamous 88 colour palette! :) Guess you’d find similar colours in there then.
I think this year’s palette colors are slightly more muted than last year’s. But well, I guess this would be more wearable.
Yep last year was brighter but I read the quality was bad. I was happy with this one though :)
I just got my hands on this so I’m excited to use it! it’s so pretty!
where to find this eyeshadow in malaysia??
