RMK Vintage Sweets

Vintage Sweets is the super cute new collection from Japanese brand RMK for S/S 15.

The new collection is perfect for spring thanks to its candy like pastel shades, a delightful confection of dreams if you like!

Available from Selfridges, I had the pleasure of testing out their Limited Edition Vintage Drop Gloss (£14.50) and their W Colour Mascara (£25).

The double ended mascara comes with two different shaped brushes and shades, one for top and one for bottom lashes and is available in 5 different shades. 

My one is shade 04.

The idea is that the play of colours helps to accentuate the eyes while the added benefit of skincare ingredients ensure the formula hydrates your lashes.

I have to be honest, I’m not a fan of coloured mascara, especially not blue and green but its certainly a very innovative idea!

I am a big fan of the super cute Vintage Drop Gloss however, which is available in 4 shades.

You can have a whole lot of fun mixing the three shades together to create a delicate and translucent tint on your lips. 

The shades are delicately scented with aromas of sweets, flowers and fruit, with my shade 03 smelling fresh and fruity!

It’s a lovely light texture, leaving your lips feeling soft and offering a natural sheen.

The whole collection is available now from Selfridges.

Clarins A/W Limited Edition Collection

One of the many things Clarins is fab at, is creating gorgeous, limited edition collections and I’m thrilled to say that this autumn and Christmas is no different.

Clarins Colour Accents Face & Blush Powder (£30) helps to illuminate and enhance your complexion to help hide wrinkles and imperfections while leaving you with a flawless finish. 

The compact comprises of 3 different skin tone shades and a gorgeous pink blush, when used together blends perfectly to leave a soft, ultra fine finish.

If you are after the perfect Christmas Party eyeshadow palette this winter, look no further than another of Clarins’ gorgeous items.

The Clarins Odyssey Eye Quartet Palette (£30) is something extremely special.

The motif on the top of the palette (not pictured) evokes  images of ancient Greek  Godesses, while the rich, golden brown hues of the shadows  inside glint like long lost treasure.

This palette is perfect for creating both a soft day look and a dramatic night-out look.

I defy you to be able to just cast your eyes over this product without finding yourself drawn to one of the shadows in particular.

Yep I’m talking about the really gold shadow. 

This shadow is different in consistency and look from the three others in the palette.

 While the others are relatively soft and matte, this shadow is like molten gold.

Soft to the touch, the shadow comes away as if it were flakes of gold leaf and is so pigmented that you find yourself dazzled by it!

It is absolutely stunning and looks fab all over the lid or just in the top and bottom corners of your eyes to open them up.

Both Palettes are available now from Clarins.
