H&M Beauty Launch Party

-->

So a few weeks ago I got to  attend the H&M beauty launch at the Truman Brewery where they have a pop up beauty store for 5 weeks open to the public. To be fair I never knew H&M even did beauty until my friend told me a while ago. I was pleasantly surprised on how amazing the quality of eye shadows and lipsticks were. The launch was so cute, they had a cool DJ with mixes on deck and the cocktails were on flow with some cute canapés.

The H&M beauty range is super affordable they do a selection of foundation shades for each skin tone and they even do a radiant concealer pen and beauty balm. I think H&M beauty will do so well because its affordable and the packaging is super cute, you can’t go wrong with white and gold. The packaging reminds me Christmas and the pigment in the blushers and lipsticks are a dream to blend on the skin.

I want to try their foundation and give you guys a full review of how it wears and what the coverage is like. I will definitely be adding more bits from the H&M beauty line to my makeup kit.

Christopher Shannon x Zippo

-->

So last night I attended the Zippo x Christopher Shannon collaboration, the well know American brand Zippo and the amazing British designer Christopher Shannon both came together to design a windproof lighter in  4 unique designs which have their own unique edge. I have always seen Zippo lighters and know they are always the best quality of lighters you can get on the market.

So when I heard Christopher and Zippo where both doing a collaboration it was like bring the best of contemporary menswear fashion and the best of the lighter making industry together to create something fashionable yet something you could use forever and have as a collectors item.

Christopher Shannon said “ I wanted each lighter in the collection to feel like a memento. Something you can give to a friend after a night out. It’s a nod to the fact that Zippo lighters have that unique life span that can see them take different owners over the years.”

We saw the begging of the Zippo x Christopher Shannon collaboration when Shannon showcased his SS16 collection at LCM.  Shannon had a knitwear jumper with a design featuring the world famous Zippo windproof lighters. The models also walked the runway with Zippo lighters hanging from their necks.

I had such a good time at the event, it was great to see the designs of all the lighters around the room and the jumper Christopher Shannon showcased at his SS16 collection. I was lucky enough to be given one of these limited edition designs when I left. It;s so beautiful and you can tell the quality and design of the lighter when you hold it.

The limited run of just 300 Zippo x Christopher Shannon windproof lighters will be available from the 12^th October from www.Christophershannon.co.uk

Thank you so much for having me – x-
