The initiation of this haul began as I was exiting the Food Hall in M&S and decided to browse their beauty section. I suddenly had an urge to swatch some of the Rosie for Autograph products, even though it's probably my one hundredth time seeing them. I am such a big fan of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, but most of the products available in her range seems to tailor for those with fairer skin. I am not fair toned, but hey-ho, I got some stuff and I will show you down below.
Besides having the sudden urge to browse the beauty section, the cock-tailing of fragrances is what made me bought 2/3 of this haul. As I was walking down through oxford street (after spritzing myself with her fragrances), I kept getting whiffs of this amazing scent... It was me. I have been on hunt for a new perfume since my Justin Beiber perfume review a year, or two ago? Suddenly, this combo of the Rosie for Autograph Eau de Parfum and the Summer Rose Eau de Parfum was a eureka moment. Yes, there are some amazing perfumes on the market available, but they do not smell like me - if that makes sense. I want the scent I wear to be an expression of me. I love the sexy seductive scent of Black Opium from YSL, but my style is more girly and feminine. Both of Rosie's fragrances have a fresh flora-y scent, which I like as they are not super dupey sweet. I found that most scent that I do love and want to buy, are borderline candy scented. The fourteen year old me would have loved that, but I am older and looking for something that is a little bit more sophisticated, but still girly and me. Plus, both of these were not expensive at all... So if I hated them, it would not be such a waste of money.
*Update: I am not loving the scents anymore, which is a real disappointed. I blame the fact it was an impulse buy, and I didn't try the scents out at more than three times. The original smells too powdery and something else is definitely putting me off, but I can't pinpoint it. I am going to hand this to my mum - hopes she likes it. The summer one is bearable on me, but I do not love it - it's a love/hate relationship. P.S. I had these scents for over a month, so I think I had enough experience to know what I am talking.

And the last item is the Roise for Autograph Lipstick in the shade Look of Love. I do not like this, and I am sooooooooooooo disappointed cause I wanted this to work on me! I was hoping I can at least work with a bold coloured lipstick as my lips are very pigmented, but this just looks patchy and uneven. What I do love is the fact that the formula is beautifully creamy and balmy. I will be handing this over to my mum, as the colour and formula is better suited for her complexion as she is lighter than me. All in all, I think her range suits those with pale to medium skinned tones.
That is all for my review of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's range at M&S. Besides her beauty range, she also has a lingerie/lounge-wear range available at M&S as well. If you tried anything from her range, comment down below and give me your review!
I hope to see you soon,
