Smashbox In Bloom spring collection

Even though the snow and cold weather won't seem to leave us alone, we can still look forward to spring with the gorgeous, natural colors of the Smashbox In Bloom color collection. The colors are great to wear now, and will carry you all through the spring and summer seasons. The colors are wearable for various skin tones, and are easy enough to use, even for a makeup rookie.

In Bloom eyeshadow palette with brush ($48): Ten beautiful soft shimmer and matte eyeshadow shades. This is a fantastic value. The colors include a ballet pink, lavender grey, golden pink, warm taupe, bone, soft violet, marine blue, shimmering copper, moss, and a nude.

Cream cheek duo in Blushing/Peony ($26): This duo can be worn on the cheeks or lips to give you a natural flush. Just in time for Valentine's day!

Soft Focus powder eye liner ($22 each): Available in heather grey or dark brown, this loose powder eyeliner gives you ultimate blendability. It's never been easier to create a sexy, smudged eye than with this liner. Don't be concerned with the powder getting all over your face...for some strange reason, it stays put.

Limitless long wear lip gloss with SPF 15 ($21 each): A 6-hour gloss that's available in Timeless (soft pink) and Endless Kiss (coral pink).

Artificial Light Luminizing Powder ($20): An easy and portable way to highlight your cheekbones, nose, forehead, or body. I can't decide if this is my favorite piece of the collection, or if it's the Soft Focus powder eye liner. Both seem like they would be messy, but are surprisingly uncomplicated.

The In Bloom collection is available at Smashbox.com, Sephora, Ulta, Beauty.com, Nordstrom, and select Macy's.
