Trish McEvoy Mobile Beauty Emergency Collection

Trish McEvoy is a woman who certainly knows on-the-go beauty. World renowned for her credit card sized palettes, this 2010 Mobile Collection sees the make up maestro create her very own unison of cosmetics and communications:

Comprising of a sleek black quilted pouch, 5 shade lip and cheek palette, plus a travel sized brush duo; this kit is designed to keep both your phone and cosmetics protected in style. Fastening with a round hidden magnet, the bag is separated into two individual compartments- one for your make up, one for your mobile - and lined with a vivid pink 'Trish' emblazoned fabric.

Classic Lip Brush and Mini Sheer Application Brush 57

The palette itself is a must have for any lovers of a more minimal look. Semi sheer in their formulas, the quartet of lip shades are an absolute dream to work with. Made up of 2 colours, 1 glaze and 1 gloss, the four tones work equally well when worn alone or layered together. The most deceptive shade is without a doubt Apricot. To the eye it appears as a punchy orange based coral, yet once applied transforms into a clear shimmery gloss; a beautiful if some what unexpected star of the set. Non sticky and reasonably well wearing, these shades were also rich enough to cover my more heavily pigmented lips.

One product that will get all natural lovers swooning is the included powder blush in shade - surprise, surprise - Natural. Gorgeously soft yet vividly pigmented, a single swipe of this perfect pink will awaken any skin tone. It's the ideal shade for creating a seamless rosy glow and will work wonders on all complexions. The colour holds up well throughout the day and applies evenly with the included lucite handle brush.

At £55 the price is steep - and for some the pouch might be seen as a gimmick too far - but in terms of the cosmetics and brushes the quality is simply outstanding. Packed full of versatile shades that'll work wonders on all skin tones, this is a genuine handbag hero. If you're a fan of pinks then make sure to check it out.
