This collection from Smashbox is named Heat Wave and only consists of one palette and one set. I am disappointed with this collection, I love the eye shadow palette but I wish that the collection was much larger and contained more blush and bronzer products. I continue to remain on the hunt for at least one more bronzer formula to use this summer and I would have expected Smashbox to have a great selection of bronzer formulas.
The Smashbox website contains a description of Heat Wave, "The heat is on! Live out a golden summer with this hot collection of earth-inspired hues perfectly paired with vibrant glosses." I have been wearing neutral eyes with bright lips for the past two summers and I plan to keep wearing looks like this for the upcoming summer too. I know that I will want the palette but I am still undecided on the lip gloss set.
Here is Heat Wave!

I already know that I would not buy the lip gloss set, I would only wear two of the shades to begin with. There is no way that either the orange or copper shades would be flattering on my skintone and I can already rule them out. I am also a bit concerned about how glossy the bright pink shades are, I tend to prefer these types of shades in matte and cream finishes, as they can look very tacky with a dramatic glossy finish. Safe to say that the set will not be coming home with me from Sephora.
The eye shadow palette is an item that I will be able to get lots of use form this summer and I think that I will order it with one of my Friends and Family orders. All of these shades will work very well together and then will also be able to be blended with both Urban Decay Naked palettes. I could very well create eye makeup looks all summer from just mixing the shades in these three palettes. I feel like I have skipped spring all together and am now only getting excited for summer eye makeup products and shades. I need to finish my spring shopping first but this palette will be at the top of my list when I start shopping for summer!
