I can’t say enough about the concept of “smart makeup.”  With the tireless innovations of the beauty industry, they’ve brilliantly thought up makeup that is infused with the goodness of the technology in those SPF, anti-aging and firming creams – and it just keeps getting better.  I’ll be sporadically (I always think of “Clueless” when I say that word) posting reviews on these products.  The latest thing to cross my radar is Anastasia’s Illumin8 With Youthful Synergy Complex Eye Shadow Palette.

These clinically and consumer tested eye shadows provide a sheer wash of gorgeous, natural color. The long-wearing formula is free of fragrances and artificial dyes and contains both the Youthful Synergy™ Complex and a Balkan Botanical® Infusion. The Youthful Synergy™ Complex has Brown Algae, Diamond Core Powder, and powerful antioxidants that lift, hydrate and revitalize the appearance of skin. The Balkan Botanical® Infusion soothes, softens, and hydrates the skin.
