Smashbox Spring 2012 - Be Discovered Cream Cheek Trio in In Lights

This Cream Cheek Trio in "In Lights"($29) is a limited-edition piece part of the Be Discovered Spring 2012 Collection from Smashbox. The trio features three cream cheek products - a cream coral blush, a warm shimmery highlighter and a rosy shimmery blush/highlighter. The shimmery shades go on a tad more sheer compared to the non-shimmery, cream finish shade.

The consistency is just right, without being too sticky or liquid like. It feels light and silky, goes on without being patchy even on my dry skin. The cream blush looks flawless even on someone with quite a few large pores, creating a beautiful flush of color. The finish is quite dewy and adds a warm touch to an otherwise dull face. The highlighters although sheer, blend really well adding a beautiful glow. The colors are buildable and a little bit of layering helps as long as the highlighters go. Sadly, like most cream products these too don't come with great lasting power. With a good primer, I get about 5 hours from them. I do however think the cream blush lasts a bit longer than the shimmery highlighters. Topping it off with a translucent powder brings down the dewiness a bit so, I usually don't set it with any kind of powder. When the weather gets a little more humid, the staying power might be an issue especially, if you have oily skin.

Overall, if you are a blush/highlighter fiend, this is something you will absolutely love. It needs very less effort, looks amazingly natural and goes with just about anything. The ease of use and the combination of shades make it a great buy and an awesome pick if you have dry skin.
