SMASHBOX Eye Wish Palette

Came across this little dandy while in Sephora...the SMASHBOX Eye Wish Palette. This limited edition collection is right on time for upcoming special events and parties. A dozen vibrant, highly pigmented shadows that can be used to create various looks, complete with a mini lid primer, mascara and four creamy liners all in a golden keepsake box.

In love with the shades shown:

Blue-Black & Eggplant Creme Liners

Deep Teal & Warm Brown Shadows (1st pic)

Champagne & Shimmery Bronze Shadows (1st two/2nd pic)

You can purchase at SEPHORA, ULTA, Nordstrom and Smashbox.com/$45.

Stay Put Shadow

GIORGIO ARMANI is set to launch an eye shadow with claims of 24-hour wear. With my oily lids, all I can say is wow! Super rich color that won't budge, fade or crease without a primer is worth investigating.

The secret? A highly pigmented powder-gel hybrid that combines shimmer and translucent emollients to lock in color. The how to? Use a slightly dampened brush to apply a sheer amount of color onto your lid.

Do we really need an eye shadow that lasts all day? Maybe not, but shadow that takes us from "desks to drinks" can't be all bad. In stores in October 2010/$32 each.
