Want the Definitive L.A. Look? Easy with Smashbox's "Bling Ring" Kit then Win the Kit on www.facebook.com/smashboxblingring

By Laura Medina


The lifestyles of "Young Hollywood" may be so highly coveted that it spawn a robbery ring of aspiring teens breaking into then stealing from their idols in Sophia Coppola's crime bio movie, "The Bling Ring" lifted straight from Nancy Jo Sales' Vanity Fair exposé of the same name.

We all don't have to reach to that depth to steal from our favorite celebrities.  We can just emulate them; and Smashbox has neatly packaged what the real L.A. gal and her fave idol are both wearing right now, each and every day, into a versatile and cute black, black faux Croc Clutch that's good enough to get you into the hottest clubs, venues, and events.

"The Bling Ring" makeup artist Roz Music says she pulled most of her inspiration for the characters’ looks from real-life girls on Instagram. “I wasn’t looking for the good-girl look,” Music says. “I was purposely looking for the girls who were maybe being a little suggestive, maybe smoking something they shouldn’t be…”

What the L.A. gal and the higher leveled idol both crave are, in reality, pretty basic but bold.  
 Smashbox's "Bling Ring" Kit holds a basic bright but classic matte pink lipstick, "Be Legendary Lipstick in Electric Pink Matte"  That shade of pink lipstick in that formula is Smashbox's constant sell-out.  Since it's matte, it's dry and safe enough for oil-complexioned girls to double and dab as a matte, cream blush.    

For that extra "umph," L.A. gals slick on another instant, new classic, "O-Plump Intuitive Lip Plumper" for those plumped-up lips sans the collagen injection...with that extra enamel of shiny, wet gloss like a freshly washed car.

For rocking, sultry eyes, it's pretty simple too.

Just rim the eyes with a classic black "Travel-Size Eye Liner Pencil in Onyx" to emphasis those peepers then smoke them with "Photo Op Eye Brightening Mascara."  The
Blue Prism Technology in the Photo Op formula brightens for a totally wide-eyed effect after nights clubbing (if you're a celebrity) or long hours acting on set (an actress) or a night breaking into their homes (The Bling Ring).  Either way, you'll appear wide-awake for that morning meeting when you're not. 

If you need a fast skincare fix on-the-go, Smashbox thoughtfully packed in their deluxe sample/travel-sized, Photo Finish Foundation Primer.  The silky, lightweight blend of vitamins A & E, grape seed extract and green tea formula can blot out the redness and blotches from working too hard, intense networking & socializing or a long night of "borrowing."  Again, Photo Finish Foundation Primer can soften those blows from the night before. 

What is really even more awesome, the faux croc clutch doubles as...a clutch holding your cash and credit card.

What a steal...a legitimate steal!
 
"The Bling Ring Kit" is available right now only on http://www.smashbox.com/the-bling-ring.

See, the "L.A. Girl" look consists of the minimal basics but amped up with cutting-edge technology with all-natural organics pushed to their limits: the classic matte but intense pink lipstick that doubles as blush (the way great-grandma used to do it), the black eyeliner stand-by, and the ramp-uped mascara that makes you look awake.  No blue eyeliner needed.  Instead of a bulky powdered compact, a potent mini-tube of botanical primer to smooth out the complexion.  All together ties everything in.

Since Smashbox's "The Bling Ring Kit" packs in the essential so neatly, you can carry, not steal, the "L.A. Look" thru TSA directly into the party or the club with ease anywhere, anytime.
