The changing of the season always brings with is a whole bunch of new releases, and for some reason this time a lot of them are things that want to empty my bank account!
First up Rockateur from Benefit.
Er hello Benefit. Please stop making things that I want as my purse is very empty and I attribute most of that to your shiny pretty things!
I’ll admit the rose gold shimmer of Rockateur is not exactly the most rock and roll of blushes but the swatches of this look gorgeous and the packaging and marketing have sent it straight to the top of my wish-list!
Rocateur is £23.50 and available here.
Urban Decay Heavy Metal glitter liners
Urban decay have relaunched their Heavy Metal glitter eyeliners (which in my opinion are the best glitter liners EVER) in seven colours, L-R Glamrock, Distortion, ACDC, Spandex, Amp, Junkshow and Midnight Cowboy.
I own three liners from the last time around – Glam Rock, which is identical to Glamrock (except..you know…without the extra space in the name), Air guitar which is very similar to Amp, and Stavedive which doesn’t seem to have a dupe in the re-launch. I’ve already got my eye on Distortion and Spandex, but I think I’ll wait and see if they do them in a set at a discount before I rush to buy them individually.
As far as I can see these liners are currently only available on the US website for $19 each.
Lime Crime lipstick in Glamour101
This is by no means a new release, but something that has hidden on my wishlist for a long time. Glamour101 is described as a retro/blood red and even if it wasn’t for that gorgeous rich deep colour I would want this just for the purple glittery unicorn packaging!
It’s also well worth checking out their more extreme lip colours, one day I will be brave enough for the bubblegum blue of No She Didn’t!
Available for $15.99 from the Lime Crime website or £11.50 from Cocktail Cosmetics.
ELF HD Blush in Headliner
Again, not a new release but this has been out of stock since forever! The ELF HD blush comes in five shades, and Headliner is the lightest. Though I love a strong blush, the colours are very intense on the skin so I figure starting with the fairest shade and working up to the most intense might be a good plan!
Elf HD blush is £3.70 from here, though only 4/5 of the shades are back in stock.
Illamasqua Reflection Palette
Do I need more eye-shadows? Er yes! Illamasqua make the most beautiful silky colours that have real staying power and their newest palette is definitely up my street! I love the fact you could make everything from the most subtle to the most outrages looks with just these four colours. Also hello fabulous packaging. /shallow.
Available for £34 from the Illamasqua website.
So there you have it, all the shiny things I want the most this month, is there anything new or back in stock that you are dreaming longingly about?
Totally hellbent for things I don’t really need but really really really want!
