Autumn Beauty: The High End Edition




It wouldn't be a seasonal beauty post without giving the luxe loves a look in. There's some newbies, a scent I'm surprisingly smitten with, more eyeshadows than you can shake a stick at and even a bronzer....


MAC x Charlotte Olympia Cream Colour Base in Sepia*-This fabulous lil' collection is in store on the 18th, mark it in your diaries peeps. Charlotte Olympia is one of my favourite fashion designers and while I own none of her wares, one day, I was so excited for her MAC collaboration. It does not disappoint. Anyway, this cream colour base is a new (to me) product. It's multi-purpose, you can use this for a spot of cream contouring or as an eyeshadow base. It works well for both those things, in fact I may prefer this formula to the beloved paint pots. Gasp! It's a bit creamier so you get more time to work with it and blend, always a bonus. The gold variant may be on my wishlist at the moment as well.

Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Pepper-An Anna inspired buy, that girl enables good. It's a dusty rose shade, so it's more on the brown side of things. It's a flattering brown though, and is perfect for people who are a bit wary of taking things full-nineties. It's creamy, long-wearing and I love it! 

MAC Frost Shadow in Cranberry-Ahh this shadow, I've probably said this before but I don't know why everyone's so intimidated by it. Yes, it's a rather scary colour to look at but once you blend it out it really doesn't look too crazy. Maybe it just depends what eye colour you have. I love it though and it makes a change from the usual coppers and rose-gold shades I opt for.


Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light-What's not to love with this bronzer? Light enough for pale skintones, adds the subtlest of warmth to the skin and looks amazing year round. I'm obsessed with this bronzer. While it is on the pricy side of things (darn exchange rate), there's so much product in there-it'll last you ages. 

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Rose*-This is my first Juicy Couture fragrance, of the non-rollerball variety and I am loving it. First things first, that ombre glitter bottle. Swoon. As we all know, describing scents is not my forte so I'll let this description do the talking: A toast to the forever bubbly Viva girl, Viva La Juicy Rose is an irresistible bouquet of honey-like pink blossoms, which pops with fizzy citrus perfection and is kissed by the glow of sensual amber. It's absolutely beautiful and unlike any other fragrance I own. Check this out if you're in the market for a new perfume.

MAC x Charlotte Olympia Lipstick in Retro Rouge*-Since my lipstick cull of March 2016, I own very few red lipsticks. The ones I do own though aren't quite like this one from Charlotte Olympia. First things first, this may be my favourite lipstick design, ever. The colour though is more a brown-based red so it's a bit vampier and edgier than the hues my pout is used to. I love it though and it's such a perfect Autumnal shade. It'd be rude not to give it a whirl. 

By Terry Ombre Blackstars in Misty Rock and Bronze Moon-These are my favourite eyeshadow crayons of all time. Unique colours and the longest lasting formula. It's ridiculous-in the best way. Not even the humidity can move these from your lids. Impressive stuff! Misty Rock is my favourite because it's such a versatile colour, although Bronze Moon isn't far behind it. If you've not yet swatched these in Mecca, you need to.
