H&M has established itself as a "go to" destination for stylish pieces at crazy affordable prices. The retailer specializes in a "from the runway to IRL" aesthetic with its clothes and its H&M Beauty offerings. H&M Beauty's Contemporary Neutrals Collection is limited edition and it's full of chic, sophisticated offerings that are perfect for taking your look from day to night. That is, the products and shades are office-appropriate but they can be turnt up with a dash of this or that — like the addition of a smudged liner, a few more coats of mascara, or a darker or shinier lip gloss — for sexy nighttime wear. What's in H&M Beauty's Contemporary Neutrals Collection?
It's anything but basic basics! There's a Contouring Quad, a Highlighter Stick, Whipped Lip Mousse, and more cool stuff in plenty of color choices.
In a press release Bustle received from H&M Beauty about this range and the Global Fusion Beauty collection, the brand noted that contouring is a new and modern classic and that the look is a fashion statement in and of itself. Therefore, H&M Beauty is offering a palette to help you get your sculpting and highlighting on.
Here are some of the key offerings and some of my favorite products and shades in this series. There really is something for everyone.
Glow-to-Go Highlighter Stick, $9.99, H&M
The Glow-to-Go Highlighter Stick lets you achieve that always in vogue and desired radiant finish. Who doesn't want a little more shimmer in their life or on their visage?
Caffe Freddo Whipped Lip Mousse, $9.99, H&M
Whipped Lip Mousse sounds divine with dat name, right? It's hybrid of a gloss, due to its lightweight formula, and a lipstick, thanks to its creaminess. That translates to lip perfection.
Power Player Whipped Lip Mousse, $9.99, H&M
This decadent pout product, which sounds like a desert, dries down matte. That texture is way on trend in 2016, so of course H&M had to address it with a product.
Shape and Shade Contour Quad, $12.99, H&M
The Shape and Shade Contour Quad houses four shades that will work in concert so you can shape, sculpt, and highlight like your favorite Kardashian or Jenner.
Choc to the System Nail Colour Trio, $17.99, H&M
The Nail Colour Trios host three matte neutrals for velvety, chic, and profesh nails! They are super giftable, too. You needn't waste too much time at the mall shopping for gifts for friends with summer bdays. Just grab a few of these and gift them as needed.
XOXO Whipped Lip Mousse, $9.99, H&M
The collection is available at select H&M locations and online as of May 17. Products are rolling out through the end of the week, per H&M reps.
As mentioned, it's LE, so scoop up your faves before they go bye bye.
