I have to be honest, I only bought these makeup brushes because I knew they would look good on my dressing table. I’ve been eyeing up the Real Techniques Bold Metal Collection, and I’ve toyed with the idea of investing in some Zoeva brushes, but I knew I was only being pulled in by the aesthetics – my Sigma Essential Kit is still serving me well. So when I spotted these affordable rose gold and cream makeup brushes from H&M, there wasn’t a moment of hesitation before I added them to my virtual basket. Visuals aside, they’re actually beautifully soft brushes and apply makeup well. The Kabuki brush is the perfect size for popping in my handbag for powder top-ups throughout the day, and the blush brush closely resembles one of my pricier duo fibre MAC brushes.
The gold glitter clutch is another gem from H&M. The small structure and hard cased shell means it’s ideal for carrying essentials – iPhone, cards and a few notes – with you on a night out. It looks a lot more expensive than it actually was (a mere £4 in the sale) and I just love how much it sparkles with golden goodness in the light.
When I spotted the white and gold bangle, (another H&M find), it felt reminiscent of the ever popular Hermes Clic Clac bracelet, but I actually prefer this understated version, without any obvious logo. I’m sure I’ll be wearing this a lot come spring/summer. And finally, my dreamy new notebook from Homesense. I do love an inspiring quote, so it’s a match made in heaven when it’s embossed with gold lettering onto a white faux leather notebook. This will have pride of place on my desk when I get my new office sorted!
H&M have so many nice things in at the moment – i'm guilty of buying things just because they look good on my dressing table! The bracelet looks so much more expensive than H&M too!

Your photographs are beautiful Amy. The make up brushes are too, I can see why you wanted to pick them up. I hope you're all settling down ok across the big pond.

Where did you buy the notebook?!
It was a gift from my mum, but I've just asked and she got it from Homesense!
I love all of these things but feel like I need the notebook in my life. Where is it from?? X
My mum bought it for me from Homesense 🙂 x
I would have bought that notebook in a heartbeat! And LOOVE H&M. Hopefully you'll have one near you in America 🙂
Those makeup brushes are so pretty! I love the look of the clutch bag too. xo

These are gorgeous! I love really simple and understated but that touch of gold just brings in that elegant touch.
These are the most beautiful brushes! I hope they live up to their expectations in the sense they are dense and not just 'soak up' the product like some do! Either way, I see how they're too pretty to give up! haha! 🙂
Hope you have a lovely week!

Those brushes are stunning! That is one thing that Richmond is lacking in… a great HM. We have one, but it is the only one for MILES and can get ransacked fairly quickly. There is a really fantastic one in Georgetown/DC that even has the HM home collection. We will have to keep our eyes pealed for the best HM pieces and deals when you get to the states!
