PRETTY YOUNG THING

* this post contains a pr sample

I recently went along to a blogger event at Harvey Nichols in Birmingham and got to check out all of latest products in the new Stila Spring collection. The collection is called Bohemian Beauty. The range has a boho, gypsy vibe to it and concentrates on colours and textures.

There's lots of new products in the range and lots of amazing new shades to choose from. The collection is huge.

I have been given a few bits from the new collection and thought i'd feature them on my blog. I have been using them and thought i'd share my first impressions.

I'm loving the Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Jezabel, it's a gorgeous Rose Gold Shade. I fell in love with this at the event and it was in my goody bag which was amazing. I've used it everyday this week and it's just such a lovely product. The Shimmer & Glow contains the same translucent adhesive base formula as the original Glitter & Glow but with a smaller particle pearl for high impact shimmering colour minus the Glitter. I haven't used the Glitter & Glow shadows before but have heard really good things. The Shimmer & Glow shadow is basically the same but without the glitter so it's a little more subtle for everyday. Jezebel is a gorgeous Rose Gold shade, it's a pink/ gold shade and has a beautiful shimmer finish. It's so easy to blend out or you can just sweep it across the lid for a more pigmented finish. I've been blending it out and working a darker shade into the corner.

I've also been loving the Stila smudge Kajal Eye liner in Sapphire, it's this beautiful dark navy blue shade. I have never worn a blue eyeliner before as I felt it would look dated but this shade is gorgeous. I've been wearing it all week and I think it brings out the blue in my eyes. It makes my eyes stand out more and i've been wearing it along side the Jezebel eyeshadow and it works really well. I've applied the liner to my lid and under my eye and blended it out. They also have an Intense Black, Nude and Espresso shade too.

I haven't tried the liquid lipstick just yet but the Stila Matte Liquid lipsticks are so good. They are a really creamy formula and not drying on the lips at all. Stila have released some beautiful new shades for the spring collection, I love the look of Dolce Vita. As well as the original Stay all day liquid lipstick they have released a shimmer formula and and sheer finish. They have the same staying power and same amazing feel but without the matte finish. The Sheer liquid lipstick is a matte finish but with a more translucent finish so it's more of a wash of colour and the shimmer liquid lipstick has a metallic shimmering finish.

I will be putting up a post about the Stila blogger event that I attended with more images of the whole range so be sure to check that out.

I've been giving the New Rosie for Autograph collection from M&S a go and thought i'd share my first impressions with you guys.

First up the packaging as you can probably see for yourself is beautiful. It looks really expensive and the rose gold colour is so pretty. It feels really nice and sturdy, great quality for the money.

I haven't tried the whole range yet but I thought i'd share my first impressions for the bits and pieces I have been using. The range has something for everyone eyeshadows, bronzers, lip products and much more.

I've been giving some of the eyeshadows a try, this eyeshadow palette is gorgeous. It's got a lovely selection of shades perfect for any everyday eye look. You can create a really nice natural smokey eye look using this palette too! With a range of pearl and matte finishes you can create a number of different looks. This palette is great for anyone and is really easy to use and blend. I really want to pick up another palette, I like the shades in Copper Gold Rush which is more pinky/ gold shades.
The palette is a great price at only £18

I've been testing out the eyeshadow sticks too, these are so creamy. I'm not a huge fan of eyeshadow sticks as I prefer powder shadows but these are very easy to use and such a handy thing to have.
I find the shadow sticks are great when your in a hurry and just want a pop of colour. The shades I have are really easy versatile everyday colours. Just a sweep over the lid and your good to go. I think these are perfect for everyday and they last really well. The colour payoff is really good and again i'm really impressed with the quality for just £12.50 They come in a few different shades, I love Almond Eyes, it's a beautiful pink/ gold shade.

I've tried the Bronzer a couple of times, it's a nice light shade which is great as I have fair skin and it blends really well. I like the colour, it gives me a nice natural glow. It's easy to apply and the packaging is just gorgeous. The palette has a mirror which is always an added bonus. I think this product is really easy to build up so you can build up the colour from day - night.

I've also tried the Insta Lash mascara, I found it lengthens the lashes really well. I went over the top of my lashes with another mascara to add more volume as this one didn't really give the volume I like from my mascara. The mascara does lengthen the lashes and defines the lashes. I really like to apply this first and add the length to my lashes and then follow with another mascara for more volume. This is a really nice finish for everyday.

I still need to give the lip products a try and the cream blusher so keep an eye out for those in a full review. I am seriously loving the Rosie for Autograph range and the packaging is just gorgeous. The quality of the make up is spot on and the price is good. The brand is Cruelty Free too which i'm sure lots of people will be pleased to hear as they offer a huge range of different products.

So I have a huge list here of beauty bits and pieces that i'd love to add to my collection, I don't actually need any of this as my make up collection is huge but i'm a girl and I love pretty new things.

I have had a couple of these items before but would love to repurchase them, first is Black Opium by YSL, I have had two bottles of this and I need more. Last year I was on a perfume ban because I own so much perfume and Clint bought me a bottle of Black Opium in Duty Free which is nearly gone, so I feel like I need another bottle but I know I have so many other perfumes to use up first.

I've also had Nars Sheerglow before, i've just used up the last of my bottle and I really love it, it's one of my favourite everyday/ day off work foundations. It lasts all day and makes my skin look flawless. I usually use Loreal Matte Infaliable when i'm at work because it's cheaper.

I've got so many eye shadow palettes but the Gwen Steffani palette from Urban Decay is gorgeous. I need all of those beautiful shades. It's so nice, this is going on my wish list for sure. I might have to hint at Clint that I need it!

The Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer is such a fab little product, one of the lovely ladies in Space NK recently recommended it. You can mix it into your daycream to make it into the perfect foundation or you can use it as a very very high coverage concealer.

The Steven Klein limited edition Nars Palette is so dreamy! I don't really need this as I had the Limited Edition Nars Palette last year which is still going strong however for £45 this is such a good product.

I just want a Diptyque candle I have my own place now and I feel like I should just have one, ( not to light because its a £40 candle !!! but they so pretty)

Finally this beautiful Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick, i've picked out Glastonberry because its beautiful but i'd be happy with any shade, they are just beautiful.
