Smashbox is a brand which I feel gets a lot more hype in the US than it does here in the UK. I’m not entirely sure why, but I’ve been a Smashbox fan ever since I got a few pieces from their Burlesque collection almost ten years. I have to admit to feeling pretty sad with the brand when they discontinued their amazing Hydrating Primer, as that was a brilliant primer for dry skin but I need to build a bridge and get over it. When I saw photos on Instagram of the newest Smashbox collection, I knew I needed to a post on it as it’s a beautiful collection and I’m so tempted to buy multiple pieces. The Smashbox Crystalized Collection is Smashbox’s Spring collection which is a collaboration with Hoodwitch, and is a seven product strong crystal infused and crystal charged collection.
I don’t know if it’s a name thing, but I’ve always been obsessed with gemstones, so the Smashbox Crystalized Collection couldn’t be more my kind of collection. I love that multiple brands are doing gem-inspired collections and I hope that there’s more on the way as there’s so much brands could explore in terms of gemstones and crystals.
The tagline for the collection is “celebrate beauty inspired by the transformative quality of crystals”, and Bri Luna aka Hoodwitch is a crystal expert and founder of The Hoodwitch, a community dedicated to creating “everyday magic for the modern mystic.”
The Smashbox Crystalized Collection has not launched within the UK just yet, *but* it is going to be launching at Boots in the middle of may, which is very exciting as I feel like it would do really well over here.
The packaging design for the collection is just stunning and I thought the Vlada collection couldn’t be topped in terms of packaging design, but this collection is something else. So much thought has gone into this collection and I love that they’ve made a crystal twist to some of their existing bestselling products.
