Yes, you've heard it. The UK fashion label has now its own make up line to coordinate with its fashion. Prices are very affordable - a cream blush cost SGD$13 (about USD$10.20) and their bronzers cost SGD$19 (USD$14.90). And they are made in Italy (yep, you heard it, not some made in China cosmetics products - I am very skeptical about made in china cosmetics), so they are perfectly safe to use. I bought 3 cream blushers from the label and 2 bronzers when they first launched in my country.
Cream blushers
Packaging is kept minimalistic - a bit tacky imho, but still acceptable. After all, it's priced reasonably, what more can I ask for. Oh, and all its cheek products and bronzing powders have mirrors in side as well

All the cream blushers are of a cream to powder finish and applies more sheer on the cheeks (when spread out with the fingers) than in the pan. Texture wise, they are very smooth and blendable. My favourite almost the 3 (although i love all 3) is Flush - it gives a really nice healthy coral pink flush to the face. The only downside to these cream blushers is that they don't last too long but I guess that's ok for me cause it's not a high end brand after all. So I don't have too much expectations from it. But i am loving the colors and texture. So i probably won't mind touchin these up again and again.

The bronzing powders are pretty matte for the much part with just the slightest hint of shimmer, but not much and you can hardly see. The powders are finely milled, easily blended and pretty pigmented. Each of them has 4 individual stripes of colors which can be used individually as e/s colors or swirled around together for an even mix of color as bronzing powder on the face. They are pretty good buys and value for money.
