Boots No7 Autumn/Winter Collection 2011 - Sneaky Peak!

Last night I had the pleasure of pre-viewing the Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection from Boots No7. I say pleasure because we were treated to fabulous cocktails and canapés, a chat with top make-up artist Lisa Eldridge and a chance to see the new products up close and personal.

This limited edition collection is called 'Modern Minimalism' .

I have to say that I am really excited about the launch of the products as they are so wearable and so me. I love the idea of a few products providing a simple yet polished appearance.

My absolute favourite and 'must have' product is the No7 Limited Edition Eye Colour £9.50  in Pewter - (shown one in from the right) This is a cream formula shadow that literally glides across the skin,  when blended it is a beautiful wash of colour, otherwise it is a really nice intense metallic grey. I can see myself getting a lot of use of this.

The Eye Colour also comes in Buff - a natural tone.


No7 Limited Edition Lip and Cheek £12.50 


These were causing quite a stir last night as they are soft to apply, non sticky and blended well with an ever so subtle shimmer for a healthy look. They are available in 2 shades. Pink Tint (more suited for fairer skins) and Bronze Tint (for darker skins). I would use both.

The other item that appealed to me from the range were the Double-Ended Pencils £9.50

Once again these are going to be sold in two shades Mid Brown-Ivory and Dark Brown-Ivory. Make-up artists have long advised to use the trick of a light pencil in the inner eye to open up the eyes and give the appearance of bigger eyes. In the past I have used a white pencil but chatting to make-up artists recently they have advised using a creamier colour for a more natural look so ivory is ideal.


All items shown are available from 10th August 2011 - 4th October 2011

Other products also to be released  - I have samples of these in my possession so look out for the reviews coming soon.
