I've been wanting to try Smashbox products for a while now, especially their primer! Sadly I've got a history of choosing products (expensive ones at that) and then not liking them. They then sit in my make up box for months completely unused, very annoying. So before I buy anything nowadays I tend to try to get a sample or buy a miniature of the product. So when I saw Smashbox were doing a "Try it Kit" I thought this was ideal for me!
This little kit costs £19 and contains :
7ml Oil Free Photo Finish Foundation Primer
0.5ml Photo Finish Lid Primer
Hyperlash Mascara in Blackout (Blackest Black)
Lip Enhancing Gloss in Illume
Limitless Eye Liner in Onyx (Black)

| Smashbox Try It Kit |
This amazing little kit comes in a neat little box with all the products standing upright and information printed on the inside of each individual product.
What I love about this kit is that the sizes of each of the products are all very generous and give you a chance to sample them without having to buy the full sized (and priced!) version. The other great thing is that Smashbox send you a free sample with every order so you also get to try some of their other items too! I got a mini sample of the primer which is the same as the one in this kit but as I was impressed with it I'm quite happy to have another little bottle.
The lip gloss is a lovely iridescent colour and would suit practically any skin tone and the mascara and eyeliner are both black so you can't really go wrong with this fantastic little collection. The shipping from Smashbox was also free and although it states the shipping takes 2 - 5 days I received my order within 3 which is great considering I couldn't wait to get my hands on this!
I'll do a separate review of the products as I didn't want this post to be too long or wordy and just wanted to share my latest find with you all! :)

Yes that's such a good idea Emma! I love trying new products like these where they do little testers of them so you don't have to spend loads of money on them incase you don't like them. x
DeleteYou dont happen to know if they have any other kits like this with different products? I know they're too expensive to take the risk! x
DeleteYes I think they do one called complexion perfection which is a mixture of primer, foundation and powder as well as something else. Here's the link:

what a fab kit and great price! I've been wanting to try smashbox for a while too... I think I'll use my Boots points on it :)
ReplyDeleteI know, I was so happy with it! plus the free p&p is a bonus! x
DeleteI'd recommend their primer, it's brilliant! Even though it's expensive you only need a tiny amount. Also, Smashbox are coming to Boots soon which means we will be able to save money with Boots points :) xx

The primer is amazing so far, and the mascara was brilliant too! I thought Smashbox would be in the stores by now as it's been online for a while. I'll definitely be spending more on their products if they do come instore - such a great brand! x
DeleteIt's such a good idea for companies to do "try it" kits, because so many girls buy the full size product and don't get on with them. And they might end up trying something they didn't expect to like and loving it! It's like getting a beauty box but from a specific company! xxxx

Exactly! Such a good way to get people to try things that otherwise they wouldn't have. I'll be doing a full review of the products in this kit but the mascara is amazing!! x
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to try this, going to have to put it on my wishlist :)
