Okay, well I’ve got to confess that my stomach is flipping with nerves even as I’m writing this. I’ve given a few hints on Instagram, so this is just to confirm really that yes, I have a limited edition range coming out with Marks & Spencer in October. Even though I love everything beauty, the one thing I have never wanted is my own range, so a limited edition collection with Marks & Spencer is the perfect way to satisfy creative cravings without the long-term commitment. When they approached me I was not cool and sophisticated about this at all.. I think I nearly wet myself shortly before I needed a long lie down.
It’s the press launch on Wednesday, so it would be somewhat ironic if I didn’t get the scoop on my own range, so the information I have is quite limited in terms of prices and colour shades (I know what they all are obviously, because I picked them, but some are still being made right now so I can’t do swatches yet).
A little bit about the range – I’ll be back with much more info and swatches further down the line. I created this range with all women in mind – focussing on wearable shades that anyone can work with but adding in a pop of colour for adventurous days. You don’t need to be adept at make up at all to use the products, but if you are, then there’s a lot you can do with the colours in terms of creating different looks. Of course, a big part of the collection is the illustration by Nuno da Costa, who drew my banner. I’ve loved his work since seeing it several years ago and I couldn’t be more thrilled with what he’s come up with – cascades of blue and pink roses for hair!

Wow, this is such fantastic news! The eye pencil collection looks fantastic with what looks like a brightening shade, the usual staples and pops of colour as well, I can’t wait for more information to be released on those as I’ve been looking to invest in some eye pencils for a while but I’m yet to find the right collection for me.
I love that the packaging is very in keeping with the designs of your blog as well, the sketches are beautiful.
All the best with the launch, I’m sure the products will go down a storm!

Congrats! The range looks super sleek, can’t wait to see the actual products! It’s been a life-long (well, at least for the last 6 or so years) dream for me to have my own range, so I’m always super excited when a person and not a brand comes up with one 🙂
Love it all, the colours, the packaging, everything! It’s perfect. You should be overjoyed with it.
Huge congratulations Jane
