There is a mini samples kit you can get in Boots, around £15 I think. I like the mascara and primer.

I really love the primer - wear it all the time, sometimes with make-up over and sometimes by itself just to smooth out my complexion.

I use the eyeliner - very nice. I tried the primer which I thought was good but was expensive.

If you like the primer then try lanacane anti chaff gel, it's only about a fiver and apparently it's the same ingredients. Wonderful stuff.

Seriously, valium? That could save me a lot of money!

I also use their primer. It's great stuff.

Thanks everyone. Will definitely get the primer. How about their eye shadows and lip glosses?

Yes, seriously. I use it every day. Google it, it's a well known beauty secretSmile

I've used loads of Smashbox stuff, and it's good. I currently have the Heatwave eyeshadow palette, and the shadows are good but not massively pigmented.

I've had lipsticks from Smashbox, and they are good. I got my mum some gloss from Smashbox, and she absolutely loved it.

I've used the green primer, which is very nice. The clear one is good too. But both are just as good as most other primers on the market - I find that all of the silicone-based primers are more or less the same.

Foundation is good. I had some illuminating liquid as well, which was awesome. Blush is great too.
