Stuff You Can Buy Today

I’m completely spoilt for choice with great beauty buys to recommend this week but my top recommend if you like your nails a little bit edgy is Facet from the brand new Illamasqua Sacred Hour Collection. Although the picture doesn’t reflect it (I have swatches here), it’s a grungy grey shimmer shot with gold. It’s £14.50 HERE.

Bobbi Brown new Honey is a caramel shade that is easily one of the best nude glosses around. It’s got enough warmth that it doesn’t wash out the face but still gives that covetable milky nude shade that’s really hard to find. It’s £18 HERE.

The MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion shadows have arrived at Selfridges (swatches HERE) priced at £30 each. I love these – they’re shimmery, pigment packed and a delight to use in six different variants – my favourite is Pinkluxe above. It’s HERE.

I’m having a bit of a moment with REN right now – I can honestly say this is one of the best radiance enhancing masks I’ve ever used. There’s a slight tingle as it clears away congestion, and it’s a high recommend for mature skin or skin with blackheads and blemishes. I wish I’d discovered it years ago and there isn’t much more to say than that! It’s £30 HERE.

So, Ben Nye Setting Powder in Banana is literally the product that won’t stay in stock – anywhere! Kim K’s make-up artist sent it stellar after using it on Kim and it just sells out and sells out. It’s a basic setting powder, but so finely milled that it’s completely weightless – you only need a tiny amount as well. On darker tones it knocks out ashiness and helps to give a soft-focus finish on all tones. It’s £11.20 HERE. I can only advise you go now because it will disappear in a matter of moments.

Finally, this Lavish Alice shirt caught my attention (obviously I’d wear it with black trousers.. my days of a white mini are SO gone!).. but I love it as new season strong look that’s lightweight enough to wear now. It’s £36 HERE.
