Marks and spencer beauty SS13

Since relaunching in 2012, M&S have become a real contender in the world of beauty shopping. As well as their own brand Autograph range, they now house a variety of niche brands, some of which were previously impossible to get hold of in the UK. Last week, they show cased their Spring/Summer 13 collection, and today I wanted to share with you some of my top picks:

M&S Autograph eyeshadow palette

Starting with this Autograph eyeshadow palette, their answer to Naked palette. Can you believe this retails for only £12? Compared to the Naked palette, there are more shimmery eyeshadows, but all the colours are so wearable, and I love the metallic gold packaging!

Also from Autograph are these beautiful highligher compacts

M&S sampar skincare

There's also going to be a new skincare launch. Sampar is a luxury brand which works on the principles of soothing, protecting and revitalizing the skin. The packaging reminds me of premium Asian skincare brands and I'm now really intrigued about their Poreless magic peel and Ultra hydrating fluid.

M&S Sentiments perfumes

Sentiments de la vie fragrances are inspired by the human emotions of delight, love and passion. My personal favourite? Delight EDP which is a fruity floral blend of grapefruit, bergamot, magnolia, vanilla orchid and cedarwood.

 M&S nautical floral purse

Finally, I've been on the lookout for a new make up bag, and I think this navy floral purse might just be the one. I love the nautical design and at £4, it's an absolute bargain!
