Smashbox Wondervision Eye Set in Flash - Review and Swatches

Another set I purchased in December of 2013 is the Smashbox Wondervision Eye Set in the shade Flash. It includes an eyeshadow palette, the Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara in Jet Black and the Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx.


First off in the set is the Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara in Jet Black, a new favorite of mine. 






The mascara was repackaged exclusively for this set and features a beautiful chrome tube. It has a natural bristle brush and a fantastic formula. It is lengthening and volumizing and just works really well with my lashes. I would definitely think about repurchasining this in the future.


Swatches of the Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx. The left is one swipe of the liner, the right is about five swipes.
Next is the Smashbox Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx, a smooth waterproof black liner. This liner is long wearing, pigmented and very creamy. An overall great product.



Swatches of the eye palette in Flash. Left is swatched with the essence I <3 Stage Eyeshadow Base and right with no primer or base. Top row: Pink Shell and Ballet Pink. Middle Row: Taupe and Purple Shimmer. Bottom Row: Slate and Plum.


The star of the show is most definitely the eyeshdaow palette. It contains six shimmery eyeshadows, all pigmented and smooth.

Pink Shell is a light pink with a pink sheen.
Ballet Pink is a medium warm pink with a subtle sheen.
Taupe is a sheer taupe with intense taupe shimmer and glitter.
Purple Shimmer is a sheer mauve with intense purple, mauve and silver shimmer and glitter.
Slate is a deep charcoal with navy shimmer.
Plum is a deep eggplant with slight purple shimmer.

The shades are incredibly smooth and creamy, but again, show their true qualities when used over a primer or base. This palette makes for a great purple toned smokey eye. I love this palette and it is currently on sale for $24 here.

Did you pick up this set or one of the other shade options? What do you think?
