Topshop Make Up Haul: Sandstorm Collection

When Topshop released their make up line, there were a flurry of blog posts and videos about the range but I have to be completely honest and say there never really seemed to be anything to get excited about.  I liked the look of the cream blushers but was put off by the powder finish so I never even took a second glance at the make up displays in store.

Until....yesterday!

The main line was as previously seen with very cute polka dot packaging and a myriad of nail varnish shades.  What really caught my eye though was the new Sandstorm Collection of eye crayons, mousses, nail duos, creme lipcolours and gloss sticks all decadently packaged in sleek gold tubes.  I was sold on the spot!




Gloss Stick - Ablaze £8


Crayons - Zephyr and Equinox £8.50 each


Top to bottom:
Ablaze
Zephyr
Equinox


These swatches look so much better in real life.  I absolutely love the crayons - they glide on so effortlessly with a beautiful sheen to them.  I can't wait to wear them on their own or as base to a smoky eye...especially Zephyr which has almost blue tone to it - just beautiful!

Have you been tempted by the Sandstorm collection?  Or are there any main line products I should invest in?!

    Ooh how pretty! Zephyr is just GORGEOUS. It would be great for a summer smokey eye! I'll have to see if the collection has been released over here. I got some lipsticks from their main collection. I have the chubby lipstick in Flame, it's a very pretty bright red. I need to wear it out. I think their prices are pretty good, too. Plus I can use my discount card and get 20% off. I don't know any other brands that do that here!
