Topshop AW11 Makeup Collection: Smoke & Mirrors

So I'm sure most of you have seen this collection either from posts from other bloggers or maybe in store but I thought I would just give my thoughts on it.

So above is the products in their packaging so lets start with that. I love this packaging. Feels very autumn and a tad tribal. I love the golds on the black backgrounds. I like all the Topshop packaging even on their core collection which is available all year round. Onto the actual products...

1- Nails in 'Bourbon' £6

I love this colour. I have a thing from browny/red nail polish's around autumn time, they just scream AUTUMN to me! Hehe. I don't own any Topshop nail polishes but this may be the one to break that.

2- Nails in 'Prim And Proper' £6

This colour doesn't exactly remind me of autumn or winter but who doesn't love a dusky rosey pink colour! Although I do love this I already own a lot of polishes similar so don't think this one will be coming home with me.

3- Eye Palette in 'Secret Liaisons' £12.50
This palette looks like it was made for me! I am a very big neutral girl and hardly stray away from my browns/golds/champagnes so of course I'm going to love this palette. Also this is perfect for going from natural to smokey for a day to night look.


4- Glow Highlighter in 'Polished' £9
This is a cream highlighter with pearl to enhance and highlight. Never tried a cream highlighter and not really tempted to with this. I think I'll stick to my liquid & powder highlighters, sorry Topshop!


5- Bronzer and Blush in 'Burning Embers' £12.50
Er does this product remind anyone of a recent product by a big Makeup brand (MAC Wonder Woman Collection anyone??) But who am I kidding a similar product at a cheaper price YES PLEASE!


6- Lash Extender Mascara in 'Black Velvet' £10
I'm not sure what quality their mascaras are like and at £10 don't know if I would like to pay that to find out I don't like it. Anyone who has tried it already please comment below and tell me how you found it thanks.


7- Lip & Eye Pencil Set in 'Cashmere' & 'Crushed Charcoal' £10
I love the look of these two colours. The eyeliner is a navy blue colour which is a colour I don't own yet and the lip pencil looks like the perfect nude which I've been looking for. Any recommendations??


8- Lips in 'Rumour Has It' £9
This looks like a lovely colour...just not my colour. I'm a pink lipstick kinda gal! But I can see this being a popular nude/beige colour.


9- Lips in 'Pillow Talk' £9
Now this is the shade I am liking. Definitely falls under my pink obsession. Nothing else I can say besides...I WANT IT! :)

Love these images. Very natural look to them which is basically what I live by for work and my days off. Simple. Elegant. Perfect!
