Earlier this week Topshop took over the Penthouse at The Sanderson Hotel to launch it’s SS11 makeup collection. As lovely ladies of the fashion and makeup world mingled with cocktails, and tried out the nail art of ‘marbling’, i was excited by what was on show. TS’s new SS11 makeup is an addition to the core range they currently stock, accompanying this is also the Trend Limited Edition  –‘SandStorm’ collection. I had a little play with all the goodies on display!

TS SS11 nail colours

Great colour selection for the new lippy range

The core summer collection is very vibrant, with lots of colour to capture attention. Both the lip and nail ranges oozed luscious summer shades which transported me to a glamorous yacht somewhere on the Mediterranean Sea.

Highlighter Stick added to the core collection

The limited Sandstorm range is much more subdued. Inspired by the experimental Burning Man Festival held in the Nevada Black Rock Dessert, its clear to see the ‘dessert’ influences in the range which includes blusher, eyeshadows, glosses and semi-permanent eyeliner.

SandStorm e/s items, these were my face from everything i saw

This is definitely a range to suit all skins tones, and one that can be dressed up or down, for festivals or for fun nights.
Overall, at first glance the new TS collection does look impressive, both in terms of colour and product range, the packaging is also sweet, and i even spotted some gold packaging which i always love to see. The real test will be once i have tried out a few items myself and seen them in action.
