new: smashbox softbox eye shadow palette (via mara).

last night, the empire state voted to legalize same-sex marriage. while there are no plans at present to legalize marriage to a cosmetic product, i'm going to come out and declare my true love for the new smashbox softbox eye shadow palette ($48). much like the ideal husband, this slim, attractive palette offers variety (9 eyeshadow and 2 eyeliner shades) while remaining practical (colors are pretty but neutral, and unlike many palettes, it offers a brush that you'll actually want to use). plus, it comes with an eye shadow primer... a good marriage starts with a good foundation, no? you can see all my "likes" and "wants" (including the best lip plumper of all time) and declare your loves on smashbox's social shop website.
