Personally, all other Urban Decay newness is obliterated when it comes to these new Velvet 24/7 liner shades. I love eye-liners – even if I’m wearing almost no other make-up, I find it hard not to do a dark line above my lashes.

There isn’t one shade here that I wouldn’t wear, and the thing with Velvets is that they’re perfect for smudging into smokey lines – although it’s a bit odd that they don’t come with a smudger, given that. Velvets are matte so they’re pretty dramatic as one solid line and with no sheen or frost they are actually quite different to most liners.

Shades, from bottom to top: Plushie, Lush, Cult, Lure and Minx. Navy liner (Minx) looks amazing on brown eyes. Anyway, these all launch on 4th August for £15.

Anna Sui Blush

If you’re looking for something really different, then the just launched Anna Sui Rose Cheek Colour hits the spot. There are two variants, and I have the cool toned blush here – it’s not often that stand-outs cater to cool tones so it’s something quite special.

It’s just a joy inside! There is a slight shimmer to it and it’s more of an iridescent wash – and no, you don’t end up with blue cheeks! Obviously, you can pick out individual shades or swirl for a whole effect (I’d be putting this on my eyes for a wash of shimmer, to0). The packaging is crazy – super-chunky but with delicate detail. The blush formula is interesting because it’s a moist powder so you won’t get any dry feeling from it and just to throw one more thing into the ring – the blush is rose scented!

Anna Sui Star Lipstick

I’ve featured the star tipped lipstick before – it’s not quite on-line yet at ASOS who has the Anna Sui exclusive in the UK, but they’re a bit of a miracle of lipstick engineering and will go live any day now.

Cool, hey? And the star runs all the way down the shaft of the lipstick but obviously won’t stay precision perfect once you’re using it. Eventually, it will look like any other lipstick. The blush is £27 HERE, and I’ve just noticed that ASOS have some of the Anna Sui Nail Colours on sale for £7.50 HERE from £12. Did someone say stocking filler?
