i personally have no experience with it but a lot of people think that the MAC prep + prime is kinda lacking and prefer Smashbox's Photo Finish. It's kinda pricy at $36 though

Thanks!!!!!! I think I'll be brave and ask for a sample of it first...

For what it's worth, tho I like how Smashbox's evens out the skin (I mainly use it for creases in the inner eye under concealer), I find it on the oily side (b/c of the silicone). I just checked the reviews on MUA and they say they prefer P&P b/c it creates less shine (but not matte), it doesn't clog pores and feels silky smooth. It's more affordable as well. Overall, the repurchase % was 84% P&P, 65% Photo Finish. Check out MUA if you can. HTH!

i've heard prep&prime wasn't all that good, but definitely get studio fix liquid its great =)

I have used both the Smashbox and MAC Prep and Prime. I am on my second bottle of the MAC. The Smashbox is ok but it is on the oily side. I don't like the feel to it when compared to the MAC Prep and Prime. If you want to try them both out, Smashbox does have a travel size. I got mine at Sephora.com.

I love prep and Prime skin!! It really makes my foundation go on so much smoother..
springsheen blush is a definate must have in my collection.. and would suit your skintone.. Also check out Peachtwist blush.. it can be used as a bronzer as well!
Black Tied eyeshadow is perfect for anyone, but i'd suggest wearing a paint or shadestick under it. hth!

Prep & Prime makes my skin feel like velvet, then i use the studio fix liquid and omg can't get anything better!!! I might get studio fix powder just to finish it off..

I like the Smashbox primer way better than MAC's but try it, a lot of people feel the opposite and I love the sparkly MAC packaging on it anyway lol.

The rest of your purchase sounds great.

The only suggestion is maybe check out some of the brushes.
