Superdry Press Day

Last week I went along to Superdry's Autumn Winter Press Day to see the collaboration with Timothy Everest for the women's Sibero Collection and sip some rather yummy cocktails created by the Experimental Cocktail Club!

The show was really interesting - rather than a catwalk, they had the four models in a room doing 'stuff' and posing every once in a while. I fell in love with the Town Coat, which the model on the left is wearing. It's navy but the back of the collar is pink (it also comes in other colour options).

The collection sees a tailored look for all different types of people. I, of course, was also checking out the models make up, which varied depending on the personality of the look. They all had matte orangey lips with the variation on the eyes - from simple liner to grungey smokey - definitely a look I will try to recreate myself!

I had a play with some of the Superdry make up while I was there too - I really love the look and feel of the bronzer and highlighter. If you get a chance in store, have a look at them - I was really impressed - although I only swatched them on my hand so do let me know if you've got them what you think!

I was lucky enough to take home with me one of Superdry's fragrances - Neon Pink.

The packaging is very Superdry-esque - cool and functional. It comes in a large neon pink cube box - which is held together with a magnetic flap. Opening the flap reveals the cute, neon pink glass bottle with matte black rubbery lid. It opens like a big zippo lighter and smells really good. It's quite a grown up fragrance - I couldn't imagine my teenage sister wearing it - and I really like it. The blurb on their site says it contains Bergamot, pineapple, galbanum, water fruits, jasmine, rose, sandalwood, vanilla and musks - it has a lovely fresh, summery, powdery smell, and I have been reaching for it every day since I've had it. It costs £35 from their website.

Illamasqua Immodest

I do love a pink lipstick - if you came to my house you would see that my personal collection is mainly pinks and nudes, with a few reds and purples thrown in. You'd think there are only so many pinks you can buy without repeating lipsticks, albeit through different brands. Illamasqua's Immodest is definitely one I don't have anything else like in my stash. It's gorgeously bright pink - verging on neon, which is matt in texture.

Because of the matt texture it's not one to wear when you have dry lips - you really need to make sure the lips are prepped well and there are no flaky bits otherwise it will definitely show up as it's dry itself (although not drying). The bonus is that it will last an absolute age on your lips. As I sit and type this I have had it on for 3 hours and it doesn't look any different from when I first applied it!

Despite the massive pop of colour, Illamasqua have managed to make such a wearable shade of neon pink - I love it!

Immodest costs £16 from Illamasqua

Nails of the Day - Orly Fancy Fuchsia

Let me share this absolute gem of a nail polish with you.

Since the sun first decided to peek it's face out from behind the clouds I have been wearing it on my toes - such a perfect pedicure colour. The swatch picture can't translate the sheer luminosity as well as seeing it in real life, so let me explain... imagine a pink highlighter, the most day-glo pink thing you can think of, neon uv pink face paint that clubbers sometimes wear... it is that pink, but in a nail polish.

Totally eye-catching, totally summery, totally coming to Ibiza with me. Gorgeous.

I do like Orly polishes, the formulation is great in this - and I love the thin, rubbery handle which helps with application.

What do you think? Would you rock this, or a little too neon for your liking?
