Next Beauty Event and New Make Up

Last week I attended a beauty event by NEXT to come and be introduced to their beauty range and to have a play, swatch, photograph and do what bloggers do, drool over everything. Along with the champagne and amazing canapés, I was offered the chance to have a makeover or a manicure, before watching the lovely Lydia Millen use the products in two live tutorials. I am obsessed with watching people apply their make-up, so was totally in my element.

I have to admit, Next hasn't been on my list of places to run to, to get my make up, infact I had no idea the collection was so extensive and so affordable. The Make Me Beautiful range has Blushers Lip glosses, lipsticks, eyeshadows, make up brushes, nail polish, chubby sticks, eyelash curlers, eyeliners and bronzers which range in price from £4 right up to £20 for an entire 'Get the Look' palette. Alongside makeup there is also perfume, candles and skincare, some of which launches later.

Since the event, I have been lucky enough to play with some of the products on show that night from a very generous goody bag that I was given.

Make Me Beautiful Perfect Look Liquid Eye Pen (£8).  I have shade Praline Brown and it has a a fine nib to make creating that perfect line much easier and once applied, nothing budges it.

Make Me Beautiful Perfect Look Eyeshadows (£7.50).  I have what is called Blue and this quad is just stunning.  If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen this feature.  The quad contains four individual baked shades which can be worn alone or together and you can apply them wet or dry.  Again, they are incredibly pigmented and just absolutely stunning shades.

When it comes to lips, Make Me Beautiful Perfect Lips are something to look out for.  I have Simply Peach which is a matte lip colour and whilst it isn't a shade I would or could wear, the amount of pigmentation it has, is amazing.  It glides onto the lips really easily and is really lovely and velevty smooth in texture.  At just £8, these are well worthy of looking at.

Staying with lips and everyone loves a good Chubby Stick and Next have their own Perfect Look Sheer Chubby Sticks (£8). I have shade Cherry Red which has a really incredible rich red colour which glides on to your lips with incredible ease and has a lovely glossy finish. The chubby sticks are enriched with a blend of natural plant waxes and oils to help moisturise lips. Retailing for just £8 they would more than definitely give some high end brands a run for their money.

The final two products are nail polishes and again I did share some of them on Instagram because there are so many shades to choose from. With a quick drying formula with a shine or matte finish, there is a shade for everyone to try. I have Molten Platinum which is a shiny black shade and one I like very much and the other is Frozen and as you can see, a colour and finish which very much represents its name and it dries matte!.  These nail polishes are currently on a 3 for 2 offer and retail at just £4 each.

None of the products within the Next Beauty range are tested on animals and are designed and developed in the UK.  So the next time you head to your local branch of Next, keep an eye out for the Make Up range, you might just find a gem or two!
