Smashbox Cheek Palette Close-Up

This palette is pretty old in the Smashbox cosmetics range and I’m pretty sure this came out all the way back in 2009 as a part of a new collection or something. Anyway I bought this a while back from All Cosmetics Wholesale (Online store) for US $14.99. I bought it mainly because it would be great to take with you on travels. That works out to be about just under US $5 per colour? (I hope my mental math is working fine)




Simple black palette



It’s small, slim and lightweight. There are also 3 colours in it so that is in my opinion more than enough shades of blush for travelling purpose. Beats throwing in 3 full size MAC blushes or other brands right?

The other reason I picked this one up was because they’re all matte shades (I LOVE matte blushes) and the shades seems likes ones that I would use on a regular basis too.

mirror and 3 shades to choose from

However I wasn’t sure of how big this item would be and was thinking what if it came to me in a really really small compact, like sizes of eyeshadows?

When I finally got it I remember thinking, oh it’s bigger than I expected but a pretty good size to carry in your makeup bag when travelling. I’ve used this palette about 3 or 4 times now and I like it. It’s pretty handy and the pigmentation is good too.

As you can see here it’s just a simple black sleek looking palette and it comes with a great size mirror inside, which is handy. It is also pretty thin and even with a mirror that big in it, the palette is super light! I compared it to a size of MAC Fix + (The closest thing within hand reach) so that you guys could see how big it is in length.

Came to the same thickness as my index finger so pretty thin :)

Compared the length of it to a full size bottle of MAC Fix +

Compared it to a pro pan size of MAC Eyeshadow and a full size NYX Blush.  I think the sizes of the shades are pretty good :)

The palette comes with Net Wt .33 oz or 9.48g.

Here are some swatches I did for you guys to see. It’s being swatched on my hand that had a thin layer of foundation and then powder. I did this because it would be just like swatching on your face…

Have anyone else tried this product or recommend any blush from Smashbox that is worth trying?
