Beauty by Millie Mackintosh | Christmas 2017

I have to be honest and say that I’m pretty cynical when it comes to celebrity endorsements. Most of the time when these kinds of beauty collections are released at Christmas, they can be really lacklustre, appearing on the shelves (seemingly) for a quick buck. However, I was really interested by the new Millie Mackintosh range – not only is Millie a trained makeup artist, but she always looks her best. So, I really expected her to come out with a range that would have some wow-power and once I saw it was created by SLG, I knew it wouldn’t disappoint!




The new Millie Mackintosh beauty range is her debut collection and it includes everything from makeup to bodycare, featuring products and regimes to complement a glamorous, vibrant lifestyle. The collection all looks and feels really premium, taking inspiration from her very own style to bring the collection to life.

The piece from the collection that I’ve been playing with is the Couture Beauty Ultimate Beauty Collection*. Essentially it includes a bit of everything from the makeup collection, meaning you can create a full face of makeup from the range. It arrives in quite a large rose gold box, which is finished with a gold Millie Mackintosh logo. The gift is finished with a cardboard sleeve, which is navy blue, with more gold accents and a description of the products inside.




Once you flip the lid you find a navy-blue interior and inside the lid there’s a picture of Millie herself. Inside the gift there are seven products, which cover everything from eyeshadow to bronzer. To be exact, there is: a black eye pencil, a nude lip liner, a nude lip lacquer, a powder brow duo, a bronzing powder and a golden light face illuminator. Plus, there is my favourite thing from the whole box, which is an Eyeshadow Quad, in an array of purple hues (oyster, dusky rose, soft berry and smoky plum). I’ve had all these products out of the box and played with them and I have to say they are all beautiful quality. I absolutely love the rose gold packaging, everything feels very pretty and at a very reasonable quality for the £30 cost. 




On top of this gift, there are a few more options out there, including some cute bath sets and some smaller makeup gifts. Everything is available exclusively at Boots and is included in their Christmas gifting 3 for 2 offers. Whether you’re a huge Millie Mackintosh fan and follower, or just a beauty obsessive, I think you’ll be really impressed by this collection. Definitely check it out when you’re doing your shopping in Boots this Christmas!
