Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipsticks
I recently got introduced to Rimmel's A/W collection and I'm so excited that they'll be bringing out a new range of Kate Moss lipsticks, as you know they're my favourite.
Giorgio Armani Maestro Complexion Perfector
The first product to be released is the Maestro complexion perfector and I completely understand why they don't want to call it a foundation, because it really is quite different to most foundations.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear
When a product claims to be long wearing I like to put it to the test so I wore these products every day that I knew I'd be out the house from 8am to around 11pm and that was about 8 days within a 2 week period. The results were incredible and I'm so excited about it.
MAC Makeover
I know I said all the London Fashion Week posts would be done but I forgot about this one! Whilst in between shows I had a bit of spare time around Somerset House so I booked myself in for a MAC makeover. I'd heard great things about them in the past so Zoe and I ran straight there on the first day to book our slot.
NARS A/W Blush and Lipstick
I love A/W makeup collections so this time of year is really exciting for me. Today I'm showing you two products from NARS' 'Fall 2012 Color' collection and I think they are my favourite from the whole collection.
Autumn Makeup
As the weather has got cooler I've been reaching for purple, plums and burgundies in both my clothes and makeup. I've been loving MAC's 'Cranberry' eye shadow and I use it softly blended out in the outer corners .
Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm
We went crazy for them because of their cute name, cute packaging and easy application, and now Clinique have updated the collection with the Chubby Stick Intense. These will be hitting counters mid November, just in time for the Christmas party season!
Introducing: Aerin
Aerin, for those of you that don't know, is the grand-daughter of Estée Lauder and has been working for Estée since she was just 20 years old. Now, only two years younger than Estée was when she started EL, Aerin has launched her own brand. As you can imagine, her knowledge on the industry is incredible so this is a very exciting launch with high expectations.
Illamasqua Complement Palette
Illamasqua's Generation Q collection is one of my favourites so far and I spoke a bit more about it in this post. It's very wearable whilst still offering that edge that Illamasqua do so well.
Clarins Colour Accents & 3-Dot Liner
Ok let's talk about the Face & Blush palette first. It looks absolutely gorgeous right? But when I first opened I wondered how it would look on as the colours are all quite skin like and I was afraid it just wouldn't show up. Thankfully I was wrong, this is a lovely multi-purpose product and I've tried using a few different ways and so far I really like it.
Illamasqua Magnetism Lipstick & New Tattoo
I've been enjoying trying out some of the products from Illamasqua's Generation Q collection, so I thought I'd show you one of my favourites. This is their Magnetism lipstick, which is an intense deep raspberry pink. It's not a colour I would usually go for, but I actually really like it... I guess that's the whole point of Illamasqua! The formula is really moisturising and easy to wear which is perfect for a bright lipstick. I also really like the sleek, black packaging.
Japonesque Safari Collection
I'm a big fan of Japonesque brushes from what I've tried so far, my favourite being the Pro Blush Brush. Their new collection though is really quite unique and a real show stopper. It's called the 'Safari Collection', which is the perfect name as you can see from the photos.
MAC Nude Eyeliner Dupe
Last week I had the pleasure of having a sneak preview to Rimmel's new Autumn/Winter collection and as they talked us through the new ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl liners, Anna and I picked up the one in Nude, looked at each other and straight away knew we were thinking the same thing.... MAC dupe!!
