M&S have a beauty sale on at the moment – and it’s a good one! (Or in plain English, drop everything and get to your nearest M&S You Beauty store/order online). But that’s not all (as they used to say in those old game shows). I got to preview the new Autograph AW14/15 makeup collection and in a word, it’s a stunner. The old gold packaging looks very YSL or Tom Ford and the new Twist Up Lipsticks which are creamy and stay on well, are very glam.
If you’re having a “save” autumn as opposed to a “splurge” one, the new Autograph collection delivers a luxe look, feel and quality at a refreshingly affordable price. Here are a few of the highlights – lots of these would make great stocking fillers (sorry, I know, it feels just a bit early to be talking about Christmas…or with ground frost in the forecast maybe it’s not!?)
High gloss, hypoallergenic and now less than half price in the sale (normally £5)
Autograph’s Quick Dry Nail Polish in Ice Blue, Cool Pink and an interesting shade called Goldmine (not shown here) £2.40 each
