I'm sorry to say it but I'm secretly pleased that autumn is coming. I've already been snuggling under my blanket in the evenings. It's getting darker earlier and earlier and although it will be cold soon I really like autumn/winter because it means I can wrap up lovely and warm.

The colours of autumn are also something else I love about it, whether its the colour of the leaves falling off the trees or the colours of the latest fashion and beauty trends. They're always warm and inviting and its not different with the new Clarins Ladylike collection for autumn 2014.

The new collection really focuses on the eyes and creating a strong, yet soft character. There's six new eyeshadow shades to choose from and I was very lucky to be sent Earth, Nude Pink and Rosewood. Earth and Rosewood are very similar brown shades, which are always my go to colours. The Nude Pink does what it says on the tin really…I personally don't think it suits me very well so it will probably be finding a new home, but I'm sure it'd look fab on other people.

The shadows are absolutely gorgeous and velvety soft to apply. There's barely any fall out at all and they stay put all day long. They're a lovely mix of soft and strong and perfect for autumn too.

I was also sent the Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base, which is a luxury primer that aims to even and brighten the finished look of your eyeshadow. It also helps it stay put all day and it contains oat extracts, which help smooth eyelids. It's pretty much magic in a tube and it ticks off everything it says it does. You only need to apply a tiny bit to the lid and then apply your eyeshadow. It does a brilliant job of brightening your finished look and keeping it set in place for hours upon hours.

I'm such a huge fan of Clarins so I'm really impressed with everything I was sent. I'll certainly be using everything to help create lots of autumnal looks and it'll take me far into winter as well.

Makeup Revolution is a brand that a lot of bloggers have been getting behind recently. Amazingly the brand only launched two months ago, can you believe it? In that time it's gone from being a shiny new brand to being one that's really made a big splash in the blogging community. It's blogger interaction on social media is great as whoever is behind the accounts is really on the same level we are and is doing everything right - I do like a brand that re-tweets bloggers and helps them out as much as the bloggers help it out by writing about its brand.

Anyway, I was contacted recently as I had been sent a lovely package of products from the new range! Annoyingly I missed the delivery as I was at work but when I did finally pick it up I was really pleased with what I'd received. The new Salvation Palette is absolutely gorgeous and has been creating quite a buzz as a little sneaky peek was revealed on Twitter recently. The shades are absolutely perfect for me, it's like I had a personal shopper or something. They are SO my colours and I can't wait to give these a try. I love the fact that all of the shades are named and there's a huge mirror in the palette too, big thumbs up!

The Sugar and Spice Blush and Contour Palette is another one that I just want to sit and stare at all day long. Being the bad blogger I am I don't actually own many blushes so this palette is really going to help me out with exploring blushes a bit more often. The two marble-esque shades are perfect, perfect, perfect. I almost don't want to use them and spoil the prettiness.

The Chocolate Deluxe Baked Eyeshadows aren't my usual go to shades but they look so gorgeous that I really want to give them a try. The palette is so cute and tiny - perfect for travelling with.

Bronzer is another product that I've steered clear of recently but looking at the Bronze, Shimmer and Highlight compact makes it look a lot less scary. There's three differet shades here that can be used separately or blended together with one big swoop of a brush - gorgeous!

All of the products are now available from the website and are all extremely reasonable. I am really excited about the future of this brand and what it has up its sleeves. I'll be writing separate reviews soon so keep an eye out for those!
