Topshop S/S Make-Up Launch, Sanderson Hotel

This week I attended the Topshop S/S Make-Up Launch at the Penthouse of the Sanderson Hotel.

The launch included all the new products for the forthcoming season as well its trend collection: Sandstorm.

The Sandstorm collection was inspired by the Burning Man Festival

in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA.

This in itself is quite amusing for such a mainstream brand as the

Burning Man festival is renowned for its anti-capitalist stance and therefore dislikes consumerism.

In keeping with desert festival theme the Sandstorm make-up includes bright blushers shades (my personal favourite), vivid nail varnishes and semi-permanent eye-liners all perfect for achieving the festival look and adding a much-loved burst of colour for the summer.

Finally, there was some experimental nail art happening,

which created a marbling effect.

The nail artist put a drop of nail varnish in a bowl of water and gradually added more until he had the desired effect.

He then dipped my nail in and removed the excess nail varnish, é voila!

Thanks Beauty Seen PR for hosting the event!
