Three New Launches That Are Pretty Cool

IMG_9833 IMG_9835IMG_9838IMG_9837

Whilst I’m always trying a tonne of new things, I endeavour to bring you the crème de la crème of this freshly picked crop. It’s always nice when something is debuting on the scene and is all shiny and new and sometimes we get blindsided in the prettiness of it all, but I try my best not to give in to my Magpie-like tendencies and instead just save the really, really purchase-worthy stuff for post material. Case in point; the following three items which in a sea of autumn/winter releases have really stood out as things that are a little bit different, a lot functional and are well worth a spot in your makeup bag, or in some cases – your party bag…

Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick – launches September – £19.50. Clarins have re-vamped their Jolie Rouge range which will be cropping back up on counters during this month. There are 25 shades in total and there’s a bit of everything from vampy berries to a shedload of nudes. Whilst the brights are nice, I prefer something a little more matte for those and seeing as the formula is so creamy and easy, I think the subtler colours are the real stars of the show here. 751 Tea Rose has made it into my makeup bag, but 747 Rosy Nude, which is slightly more peach, 707 Petal Pink, which is more pink and 705 Soft Berry which is a bit more plum are all waiting in the wings. Everyone’s going to find a suitable nude here.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup to Go – launches October – £33. Now this is an interesting one. Estée Lauder have taken their bestselling Doublewear range and fused it with the whole ‘Miracle Cushion‘ trend to create a handbag-friendly compact that holds a foundation formula that’s basically made for touch-ups. The texture is a little more blendable and lighter than the original Doublewear, so it’s a good one to layer and it’s pumped out of a little circle in the middle of the compact by pressing a button (side note: pressing the button becomes very addictive). I’m not the biggest powder lover in the world and as someone whose skin eats up foundation for breakfast I’m the perfect customer for this kind of thing. I really like it. Plus the dispensing mechanism means the whole ‘feeling gross about double-dipping into a sponge‘ thing is not an issue here. Phew.

Illamasqua Broken Gold – launches November – £18.50. Now this might not look like your typical Anna pick here and yes I must admit that my inner Magpie might have drawn me to this one, but just look at that. GOLD LEAF IN A TUBE! Ah common’ – it has festive season written all over it. The set-up might fool you into thinking that we’ve got a gloss on our hands here, but instead it’s a watery texture that evaporates after application leaving behind a non-sticky, non-uniform layer of gold leaf behind that doesn’t move. It’s just asking to be patted on over the top of eyeshadow or on the tops of the cheeks. I want to bath my face in the stuff. When this is released I urge you to run to your nearest counter. Right – I’m off to Google how many weeks it is till Christmas…

The great thing with documenting all things beauty online is that when you find a picture and think ‘ah my makeup looks alright there!’, you can find the corresponding product list if you do some digging 😂 So here you go! Reposting this one because it’s a goodie 🙌
