New: Be Legendary Lip Gloss by Smashbox Cosmetics

Following on from their line of lipsticks, Smashbox Cosmetics have now launched their brand new range of 'Be Legendary' lip glosses - and I am already a complete smitten kitten. 

I have never used a Smashbox product that I haven't been impressed with, but I really love their lip wear. The colour choices are fashionable yet wearable, the texture is hydrating but not greasy, and the pigment lasts but doesn't dry out the lip. 

The new Be Legendary Lip Gloss is available in 16 hot shades, each priced at £15/$20. I'm a huge fan of the colour Mandarin, it gives a sheer, fruity warmth that looks gorgeous with a light tan, and I find that it really enhances the green in my eyes.

My second favourite from the range is this cotton-candy pink shade, Pout. It's so cute and girly - and looks amazing with a LBD.

NARS Cosmetics Summer Color Collection 2013

NARS Cosmetics Summer 2013 Collection (a few key pieces from the range)

NARS cosmetics have launched their eye-popping new range for summer 2013, and I'm totally bowled over. It's bright, it's bold, I love it. They've stayed true to their core brand values, no frills necessary, just punchy, daring, high quality products.  

Fashion Rebel, Duo Eyeshadow £25

Who said colour blocking was just for a killer outfit? NARS have released this 'fashion forward' palette with canary yellow (Dandelion) and chalky purple (African Violet) shades. I dampen my shadow brush before application to maximise the intensity of these shades. Wear it fierce, or don't wear it at all. 

Madness, Opaque Nail Polish, £14.50

This amazing shade is summer 2013 in a few strokes. NARS have managed to strike trend-gold with this hyper-bright orange tang of varnish, as orange is going to be HUGE as the weather warms. I 100% love it... a gorgeous statement for the talons.

Puerto Vallerto, Multi-Use Stick for Eyes, Cheeks, Lips and Body, £30

Of the three pieces I have chosen to review, my shock winner is the NARS Multi-Use Stick in Puerto Vallerto. I really did underestimate how much I would like this stick. The sweet tangerine shade looks as though it will be too dark to suit fairer skin tones, but it blends in perfectly due to the light, creamy consistency. I had to swatch on my dear friend Anna's cheeks to show just how much of a beautiful warmth it adds. A sun-kissed, sheer and sexy look.
