Introduction: I’m going to be doing a review of the new smashbox full exposure travel palette. I’m going to cover all the basics and give you my overall opinion, as well as what I think are the best features.
I want to talk about Smashbox’s full exposure travel palette. I’m not a professional makeup artist, but I do love makeup and the products that come with it, so I decided to take on this task as a way to try out some of the best makeup products on the market.
The palette itself comes in a compact that fits into your hand, and contains 10 shades in total with a mirror. The compact is compact, as well as being very sturdy — which might be why it’s been in constant use for weeks now, rather than months! The buttons are all large enough to easily press without much pressure (they seem like they could break if you pressed too hard).
The palette itself is small enough so that it can fit into any bag, and features a sturdy zipper on one side to make it easy to access your shades. It also holds your eyeliner/eyeshadow together well enough for easy transport (although I do wish there was a way to keep the cap from falling off). The blush/shadow shimmers are also easy enough to reach from anywhere in the compact because they are held together by little plastic tabs which stick out at the back of the compact.
I put this picture up because there isn’t much else out there about this palette — even online reviews aren’t very detailed! It’s an interesting product nonetheless: it’s actually quite portable and useful for travel or if you’re going somewhere with an airport or train station nearby — although I wouldn’t recommend carrying it around all day on planes or trains given its size and weight.
What I like:
• Completely customizable palettes (with 10 swatches included) – each shade has different color tones so you can mix-and-match them easily. This allows you to go from completely neutral makeup without having to worry about matching different hair lengths or skin tones — because each shade is complementary with anything else in your makeup routine.
• Various ways of using blush/shadow shimmers – a brush vs tiny mirror vs tape – all three options allow you to work product onto one area of your face (or eyes) quickly and easily while maintaining an airbrushed look that works great for everyone. A clean look while still looking natural is what makes this palettes great!
• The brand’s selection of blushes/shadows – they’re beautiful shades and have names like “Thick & Tan” or “Bronze
Essay Title: How To Win A Speech Competition
I recently won a Smashbox full exposure travel palette review!
I’m so excited. The whole thing was pretty cool. I mean, like, what’s the point of if you don’t get paid to do it? I guess it’s just fun and all. I will probably never have a chance to win something like this again in my life, which is too bad because it was really fun.
In any case, I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful:

Essay Outline:
I’m a big fan of smashbox. They have a full line of high end highlighters and lipsticks and I’ve been using the Glamour Highlighter in my life. I recently purchased the Smashbox ‘Full Exposure’ travel palette from Amazon. This is not your average highlighter palette, and it has all the things lids do… a mirror, an applicator, a spatula. I like that it has so many different colors – you can really get creative with this palette. It’s also really affordable… about $20 for this size palette, which includes the HDG2 eyeliner and blusher (which I use daily) as well as a few other colors like the Glamour Highlight Stick and blush.
This particular palette is one of their more affordable palettes that include numerous colors including matte shades (however they are NOT cream/creamy). There are also some shimmery shades in addition to matte satin shades…

It also includes an applicator which makes it really convenient for traveling with just your eyeshadow or liner in it! The size is small enough to fit easily into any travel bag or purse without being too bulky to hold all the time…
I have been wanting to try this brand out for quite awhile now so when I saw they were offering a size 2 shade on amazon, I jumped at the chance to try out their full exposure palette on Amazon!
I was extremely excited when I got this email telling me that Smashbox was offering me free shipping on every order over $25 (which would be my next order as well!), so when my order arrived today, I was very excited to try out this new palette!

Introduction: In
Hey, I’m a blogger. And I’m a sucker for travel photography.
First of all, this is not a paid endorsement. On the contrary, I am not even on Smashbox’s mailing list or anything like that (though they are nice enough to include me as a source). But if you are interested in helping me with this review and want to read some blog posts about my experiences with the palette and how it compares to other selection tools like Paper by Aida Edelstein or Missha Cover FX , then let me know.
I am starting this post with an introduction, because the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the Smashbox Full Exposure Travel Palette is “cool looking thing”. It is definitely not what you would expect from a professional makeup artist (or makeup enthusiast for that matter), but it does offer some interesting options for your travel wardrobe. It is also reasonable to assume that it will fit nicely into your regular rotation as well (assuming you don’t already have one) because of its size and price — but do keep in mind that there are better options out there, so you may want to consider others before giving up your hard-earned cash on this one (don’t worry: all my opinions here are based on my personal experience using it and not necessarily marketing strategies aimed at convincing people to buy it).
A quick breakdown: 1) The palette itself consists of 8 colors in 3 sections (a sanded white base; neutral colored highlighter shades; a full coverage matte highlight shade). 2) Each shade has small sections labeled as “highlight, contour/highlight shadow” — which means this palette can be easily used by any makeup artist who uses flat flashlights and considers themselves bright enough to work in front of bright lights. This can also be used by anyone who prefers shadows/highlights over highlighter colors — unless you prefer them both equally! 3) The colors feels really nice on the skin and looks great under natural lighting and artificial lighting too! 4) The palette comes with two sizes of plastic brushes: one flat one and one round pointed brush — which means it can be easily used alongside any comparable makeup brushes without having to buy extra ones separately (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). Since many people do need brushes with these palettes, I think Smashbox thoughtfully included them with these palettes
