Untamed Eyes
Smashbox’s Untamed collection for Summer 2009 is all about taking a walk on the wild side and creating bold, dramatic eyes. The Waterproof Shadow Liner Trios are the perfect product to achieve this goal. Each of the little compacts, which are emblazoned with a chic animal print and come with a good-sized mirror inside for touch ups, comes complete with three different shades of waterproof shadow liners in shades reminiscent of the colors found in the tropics. The shades are great – they blend easily and are crease-proof (especially when layered on top of a shadow base) so you can apply them in the morning and still look great when you leave work. I’ve been mostly using them for liners because they blend so, so well when I use my Bobbi Brown Eyeliner Brush – I think they look better than my normal pencil eyeliners do because there’s not as much smearing. But I also like smudging them on my lids – my favorite colors are the Deep Green shade in the Savage trio and the Deep Purple shade in the Exotic trio and I’ve been accenting those colors with the Soft Gold and Champagne shades. It looks gorgeous, if I do say so myself!
Another Untamed product that I’ve been getting a lot of use out of is the Double-Ended Eye Brightener. If I don’t get 10+ hours of sleep a night, I tend to look like I’ve been out at an all night rave, so this pencil works wonders in the morning for me. I use the Champagne end to line the inner corners of my eyes and underneath my brow bones and it makes me look more refreshed and alive, which is always a good thing. It’s totally small and portable too, so you can throw it in your bag for touch ups during the day (when I start to look like a vampire again).

I just looked at this collection on Sephora last nite! What I’m really enamored with though is Fall’s Reign collection. I want the mascara, the lips pencils, and the Majesty eyeshadows.
