remember smashbox?

Search it on Q and it directs you to IT.

That would be because it's now on HSN! Holly isn't the rep, tho.

Love their primer. Not an IT fan.

I think Holly created her own line.

I still use their liners & eyebrow powder.

I have tried a few IT products without much success.

I like smashbox. I buy from their site at times - they have good deluxe samples.

I stopped using Smashbox years ago.

I've found a number of good IT products. Their brushes are great

I used to love to watch Holly do her magic with brushes. She was a beautiful woman and always wore a stunning black dress with gorgeous jewelry.

Smashbox had an eyebrow pencil that was the BEST I've ever used. It was a regular pencil you had to sharpen with a sharpener but the Taupe was absolutely perfect for me. I bought several of them over the years, but now I'm down to a bunch of nubs. I've been searching eBay and have googled but all they seem to have now is the kind that you apply with powder, and I don't like that one.

Maybe somebody knows of where I could find them? Please?

Thanks

Sunny, check Sephora and maybe even Ulta.

Sunny - taupe brow tech is on hsn $27 ish.

Their site is a PITA, but it's there.

clemintine, what is brow tech? Is that a powder system? I'm kind of clumsy with my fingers and have a problem getting my makeup on straight lately. I know eyebrows should resemble sisters, not twins, but mine are barely resembling cousins

Thanks, I'll go take a look on HSN!

Holly was hawking her line on either ShopHQ, or HSN a few months ago.

I use that too...it's the BEST.

I'm a klutz, but it always looks natural.

The only thing I ever liked from Smashbox was the Brow Tech.

Sunny, Brow Tech is a compact with two powders and a wax to keep everything in place. You can get it at Smashbox's website as well. It's $25 there.

Both Ulta and Sephora carry Smashbox.

I always liked their lip glosses.

I use to buy too many of the beauty TSV's, BE, Smashbox . . . and recently went through my stash . . . and while they were palettes or compacts with powder products . . . brand new . . . the Smashbox palettes were sticky/tacky and just a very weird feel to them and this was on the outside of the packaging . . . I tossed them all in the trash . . . none of my stash of BE, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, MAC or others were like this so I know it wasn't due to humidity or temperature in my closet and bedroom over in my vanity area. I usually keep my "stash" of extras in empty shoeboxes . . . NIKE, Chaco's, Dansko, etc. . . each brand of makeup in its own separate box . . . so they weren't in airtight Rubbermaid containers so they were able to "breathe". WEIRD. Being makeup to be used on my face and near my eyes, nose & mouth I wasn't about to take any chances. I probably tossed 150-200.00 worth of Smashbox (TSV prices). Oh well. I went to look on QVC to see where it said they were made and saw they were GONE and on HSN now. Buyer Beware.
