M&S's beauty department is one of my favourite places. They have so many amazing brands from Pixi to Barry M! I can spend hours wondering round looking at all the beauty products. I've developed quite the collection of M&S Beauty buys so I thought I'd give you a little heads up of what to check out.
Rosie For Autograph Shadow Sticks* | £12.50
Rosie For Autograph is such an under rated brand. When it first launched everyone was raving about it but it seems to have dipped off the radar. But you should definitely check some of these products out. These eyeshadow sticks included. They're so creamy, pigmented and so easy to use. Just apply, blend and go. Once these have set they don't budge either. They're actually one of my favourite eyeshadow stick formulas. My favourite shade is Almond Eyes which is a really pretty Bronze colour. It's perfect for everyday wear.
Rosie For Autograph Lipsticks* | £14
I love these lipsticks from the Rosie For Autograph line too. The packaging is just so stunning. But the lipsticks inside perform really well too. They have a cream to satin finish, which is super comfortable and so easy to touch up on the go. My favourite shade is Rose Lace which is a really pretty Pinky nude. It goes with any makeup look and it's perfect for everyday wear.
Rosie For Autography Anniversary Palette* | £25
Finally from Rosie's range I have this stunning palette! Which houses 6 eyeshadows, a cream blush, a cream highlighter and bronzer. I love this bronzer, it's perfect for adding warmth to the face. The formula is really smooth and so easy to blend out. The eyeshadows aren't what I'd normally go for but I actually really like these. They're all shimmery and the darker shades are so pigmented. The Green shade is just stunning all over the lid. The cream blush and highlighter are also very good. They apply beautifully and work well over base makeup. This is definitely one to check out.
Formula Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser* | £11
Formula is one of M&S's own skincare brands that is not to be over looked. I've been testing this Hot Cloth Cleanser and I can't believe more people don't talk about this. I actually think this rivals the famous Liz Earl Cleanse and Polish. It's a creamy consistency that is a real pleasure to massage in the skin. It melts away makeup and impurities really well. After rinsing this leaves my skin feeling so soft yet clean. This also comes with a muslin cloth which does the job of removing it really well. I really can't recommend this enough.
Formula Absolute Serum Elixir* | £23
Another product from Formula that I've been really enjoying is this Elixir. Which is kind of like a serum. It's packed full of skin loving ingredients and it has anti ageing properties. I've been using this after cleansing and toneing. It instantly absorbs and leaves my skin feeling so smooth! It's also super hydrating. I really think this helped the overall, hydration levels of skin. My fine lines appear more plumped and my dry areas definitely aren't as dry.
Formula Absolute Skin Priming Booster * | £19
This isn't a makeup primer so don't let that confuse you. It's a skincare primer / toner. This contains AHA's which gently exfoliate skin. I've been using this for a few weeks now and I'm really impressed with the results. My skin is so smooth! This isn't as harsh as a chemical exfoliator which I really like. I actually find this somewhat hydrating to.
Pure Deep Cleansing Mask* | £12
Pure is another brand in M&S and one to definitely have on your radar. This mask in particular is a great deep cleansing treatment for dull, lacklustre skin. It contains Koalin and charcoal which deeply cleanses the pores by drawing out impurities. I like to leave this on for 10 minutes or until the mask sets. After removing it my skin feels so much cleaner and a lot brighter. This is a great mask to checkout!
GlamGlow TingleExfoilate Treatment* | £42
In my local town M&S is the only place I can see GlamGlow in stores so I really recommend checking them out in M&S if you're in the same boat. This is one of my favourite masks ever. Yes ever! This mask is a tingling mask that you can really feel working to lift away dead skin cells and impurities. After leaving this on for around 15 minutes my skin feels so smooth. I can't stop touching it! It looks brighter, clearer and more radiant too. This is pricy but well worth it.
Pixi
Like GlamGlow M&S is the only place near me that I can see Pixi in stores. Which makes it a lot easier to buy their makeup. I can't really whittle my Pixi list down so here are a few of my Pixi favourites:
Pixi X Weylie Eyeshadow Palette* | £22 | This has quickly become my go to eyeshadow palette. It contains all the perfect everyday shades in it. Majority of the shades are warm toned which I love. Their so easy to work with too.
Pixi X Dulce Candy Highlighter Palette* | £28 | I'm in love with this highlighter palette. All the shades are stunning and they can be used as eyeshadows too. There's pretty much a shade for every skin tone. And the shades that aren't suitable can be used as eyeshadows. The highlighters themselves are so creamy, not powdery at all. They really catch the light beautifully and look stunning on the face.
Pixi Nourishing Sleep Mask | £18 | This is a god send for dry, dehydrated skin. It's a rich nourishing mask that you use over night. it instantly adds hydration and in the morning my skin looks so much smoother, plump and hydrated. This is actually one of my favourite Pixi products ever!
