I love to travel, but packing?! What a nightmare! Usually, my makeup bag alone takes up half my suitcase! However, on an effort to make the most of my space (shoes vs. makeup!) I bought slim makeup palettes to replace taking along bulky jars and tubes. My new fav, Cover Girl’s Exact Eyelights Eyeshadows. Allegedly, the colors are designed to brighten your eye color, not sure if I could measure that, but I think the colors are foolproof and uber flattering! Each compact comes with 4 colors for the lid, crease, highlight and brow. Keep it light for a natural glow and layer on more color for drama and a glam night out! Not to mention Miss Smart’s a fan of the drugstore price!
Available in Hazel, Blue, Brown and Green.
We all know I love discovering new drugstore makeup finds. I mean really, great price points AND quality makeup. Sign me up! My new favorites are the Covergirl Blast Collection. First off, love, love, LOVE LashBlast Length Mascara. It is pretty much a significantly cheaper version of Dior Show (though doesn’t have that delish floral smell that Dior puts in it’s makeup, but for $7.49, I can do without scented mascara!)
My other Blast favorite, SmokyShadowBlast. Unlike Miss Fabulous, I am not a makeup pro and can never seem to give myself a smoky eye without looking like I have a black eye! This product literally makes the sultry goddess look fool-proof! Each stick comes with two perfectly coordinated shades, one for the base and one for liner/crease. Plus the applicator makes it easy to smudge and blend the shadows to perfection! I cannot wait to rock my new sexy eye look this weekend!
Starting November 2nd, Smart and Fabulous readers can get a special deal featured on covergirl.com/blastpresale. Readers who visit drugstore.com will save $5 and earn free shipping when they purchase all three Blast products and those who visit CVS.com will get free shipping!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been known to pull some late nights (who’s to say a Saturday night has to end before Sunday brunch!) and some even longer days (still have to pay those Amex bills!). 
Losing sleep doesn’t worry me, but making sure I look fabulous throughout all my escapades is! With the must-have clutches the size of coin purses, forget about stashing a makeup bag for touch-ups on the go. Your makeup has to stay put until you decide to take if off! My ultimate must-have item to avoid those disgusting oily eyeshadow creases is Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I swear by this amazing potion and have convinced countless friends to try it too (they’re now all avid believers!). At $17, it is easy on the pocket and promises to keep your eyeshadow looking fabulous for hours.
