How to wear the AW14 Blanket Scarf

With autumn well and truly announcing its arrival, the one accessory that seems to have really taken off is the 'Blanket Scarf', a trend I have seen more and more of my friends mention on social media.

Whether it is striped, checked, an Aztec design or with fluffy bits, there are quite a few I am liking the design of.  With that in mind, Accessorize have produced a YouTube video to show have you can use just one scarf and wear it in five different ways:

Have you got a blanket scarf? How do you wear it?

GOSH Cosmetics AW14 range

I am a huge fan of GOSH Cosmetics and a few weeks ago I went along to the launch of the AW14 range. Held in the fantastic location of The Sanderson Hotel, we were treated to the most delightful little canapes, Lychee lemonade and a few glasses of bubbles not to mention make-overs and manicures.

The AW14 range is a really exciting one for me, particularly with the nail polish. I am one of those people who prefers the darker shades to the lighter ones and my manicure was done with Night Sky which at £3.99 is an absolute steal. As you can see from the photo's below, this colour is a black but within it are little speckles which shimmer in the light. Also within the range are 4 other shades called Stardust, Milky Way, Moonlight and Million stars.

Then there is the Defining brow gel, brows seem to be the 'in thing' right now and GOSH have brought out their defining gel which is Vegan friendly and available in three shades; Brown, Brown/Grey and Black. They are priced at £4.99 each.

More mascara, well you can never have too much. There are two new ones coming from GOSH and they are - the Crazy Volume Mascara (£6.99) which has a large brush, it is designed to give you that big lash look. The second one is the Double Precision Mascara (£7.99), this one has not one, but two wands and they work together to help define both your upper and lower lashes. Both mascaras are paraben and fragrance free.

Lipsticks - GOSH have added eight new shades to their range of velvet touch lipsticks; Adorable, Temptation, Divine, Scarlet, Diva, NightKiss, Twilight and Angel. These are full of pigment and last well, but also soften the lips thanks to the Vitamin E. Each lipstick is £6.49. Unfortunately there’s no swatch of NightKiss.

Cheek blushers - These I absolutely love and couldn't wait to try them. They come in three stunning shades which are called Shy, Passion and Pink Parfait. At a first glance, they do look similar to the chubby sticks from clinique. What I love about them is how easy they are to hold and how little you need to apply to your cheeks to get this fabulous colour not to mention the fact you can also use them on your lips, so it is like having two products in one!

The Palettes - The first item I spotted as I walked through the door was the amazing palettes. I have a bit of a thing for palettes at the minute and as soon as I had said hello to a few people I was swatching away. Available in three different options 001 To Enjoy with in New York, 002 To have fun with in LA and 003 To Play With In Vegas each palette has a multitude of options for everyone, whether you like your nudes, bright colours and I mean really bright or something which is halfway between the two, these palettes are simply stunning and a first from GOSH.

The final two items are the Mineral Powder and the brush to accompany it. Priced at £9.99 this powder is said to give really good coverage to leave a flawless complexion. The shades available are 02 Ivory, 04 Natural, 06 Honey and 08 Tan and I am between the 02 and 04 shade from the swatches I did on the back of my hand. Once on the skin they blend in really well and definitely something I will be looking to purchasing.

As ever the lovely PR girls and GOSH were exceptionally generous with the goody bag and mind included this:
