H&M Does Beauty... And It's Good!

So in case you've been a bit behind on your beauty blog reading these last couple of weeks, affordable clothing giant H&M has launched a 700 piece beauty range. I got a quickie glance at it the other day and started making mental notes of all the pretties I want to try. While I could have spent all day swatching and perusing, I snached up one lipstick that caught my eye and headed on my merry way. So, did it hold up to the rave reviews I've been hearing?

Velvet 59 | The Exotic Lotus Palette

If you haven't heard about Velvet 59 yet, I'm betting you will become familiar with the brand very soon. Brainchild of the 22 year old Paris Manning, Velvet 59 aims to capture a vintage glamour whilst using sustainable and 100% vegan ingredients. I recently got my hands on The Exotic Lotus Palette which is not only Vegan, but also Cruelty Free, Paraben free and Gluten Free. Oh, and warm toned lovers be warned: You're going to want this in your life!
