Win Smashbox Goodies - Birthday Week 3

Over the past few months I have renewed my love for Smashbox, so this week’s competition is to win my 3 current favs. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, O Gloss & O Glow.

Smashbox O Gloss is currently my no: 1 lip gloss, it goes everywhere with me, perfectly glossy & I love my personalised shade of pink

O Glow is nice & refreshing for the cheeks but I would still apply a light dusting of blusher too.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

I have been meaning to write the post for months but something else always comes up.

When I was in Cannes for work in October last year I had the pleasure of meeting Smashbox’s International Director of Make Up Artistry, Daniel Chavez and we talked make up for quite awhile.

Luckily enough for me he introduced me to Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I <3 it.

Don’t know how I managed before I found it! Well I do, I dabbled in Gosh Velvet Touch Foundation Primer (which I found quite greasy).

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

With Smashbox Photo Finish Primer the application was simple and effective. I find my foundation goes on smoothly and lasts much longer on days I use the primer than days I don’t.

My one issue is the pump or lack there of a normal looking pump.  Smashbox say: ” In a new square airless pump for freshness to the last drop”. What I found…. I couldn’t et the product out of the container. The consistancy is that of a gel so an air pump that stopped working meant there was no hope I could get the product out even by removing the pump lid.

What to do? Well there was 95% of the product left so I wasn’t gonna let it go, not my new found “must have” product. I brought it into my nearest Smashbox counter and explain the issue and the girl on the spot offered a replacement. Wow, fab customer service but it lead me to wonder… was it a common fault or was I just unlucky.

Either way I am very happy with my new primer and will be keeping Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer as a staple in my makeup routine.

Have you guys tried it? Anybody else had pump issues?
