♥ Smashbox Full Exposure Palette Review ♥

Hi Lovelies!

So sorry I haven't written in a couple of days I have been busy busy the last few days with my freelancing and a family wedding (photos to come ). Anyway as some of you may know in my recent American Haul Box one which arrived first had a few goodies in that have now stolen my heart.One particular beauty may aswell be glued to my hand as I have been using it everyday since it became apart of my life.

 Smashbox Cosmetics  produce an array of beautifully formulated and colourful products that will be sure to sweep you off your feet, some of my all time cosmetic must haves come from this unique brand for example their primers are to die for!Whilst working for the brand myself I realised the impact these primers have on the market and the cult like makeup lovers who were utterly obsessed with them. 

Being a MUA naturally i'm a lover of all things beauty so when Smashbox released their latest palette "Full Exposure" I had to have it! Being too impatient to wait until it hit our shores here in NZ I decided too add it to my cart at  www.ulta.com for $49USD.
I am so happy I decided to snap up this beaut! Having been the artist for a lot of weddings since this finally arrived at my doorstep it is my new "Go-to"! With the mix of both shimmer shades and Matte it makes for a universal product great for any client of any age and skintone. 
The colour choice is just beautiful with their being the everyday handy neutrals but the depth of a bolder mocha brown or two to spice things up a little just for fun! This palette is worth every dollar and it is one product when the day comes to replace I will be doing it in a heart beat! Great work Smashbox Cosmetics on producing another legendary product ♥

This palette consists of shimmers and matte tones which is what I  absolutely love about this as it is often hard to find a decent creamy matte tone that doesn't look to dry or sink into any fine lines. If your a MUA this palette is fantastic for weddings,guaranteeing to suit all of your clients needs no matter what their age is. The coding for the shades of this palette is pretty self explanatory the 
S = Shimmer and the M=Matte.

I have seen a few reviews where people have commented on the pigmentation of this palette and that they felt a little disappointed. I definitely feel this palette meets all of my expectations as the pigmentation I think is great especially the colour pay off from the more matte tones and the colour selection is perfect!

 When it comes to shimmer shades I prefer them to be more sheer as too much shimmer can sometimes be a little overpowering. When using this palette I feel confident in my application as I feel I'm in control of how much product I can use to build up to a certain look, no matter what occasion it may be for. 

If you own Full Exposure already I would love to know what you think so be sure to comment below with your thoughts on this little beaut!
