Sleek Goodies

So recently I went a little crazy and purchased 6 items from the sleek collection, I got two eye shadow palettes, a concealer palette, a highlighting palette, a contour kit and their seven set brush collection. In boots, they were on sale for 2 for £10 and I couldn't miss such an opportunity. So let's begin.

1. Sleek i-Divine Original palette.

This palette has 12 different shades. I think that the only shadow that's matte is the black one which is called Black Cab. All the names used in this palette links in with London and Britain. 

2. Sleek i-Divine Storm palette.

There are three matte shades and the rest consist of shimmers. This is a great smokey eye palette that has greens, blues and purples to create a sultry smokey eye. 

3. Sleek Highlighting palette- Precious Metals.

This is a collection of four different highlights- three of which are in a cream format and one is a powder finish. This palette has such a sexy metallic packaging with a magnetic clasp. 

   

4. Sleek Corrector &Concealer palette. 

There are two cream shades and a powder. I have yet to try this out but I hope it works great!

5. Sleek Face & Form

This is a contouring and blush palette that has the contour shade, a bronzer and a blusher. Mine is in medium. 

6. Sleek 7 piece brush set

This is the item I am most excited about because its retail price is £12.99 but I got it for £5 which is a bargain an it's a perfect travel size where its not complete small but a reasonable size for my hands.  It comes in its own pouch which has a clear wallet at the top to keep your brush from getting other things dirty as well as having it underneath so it doesn't get the pouch dirty. Smart thinking, Sleek! 

     

I'm super happy and excited with all my purchases and I can't wait to create looks for you on my youtube channel! 

Thanks for reading and see you next time!

New Lip Products

New Lip Products

I recently went slightly crazy on my purchases and I seem to have accumulated a lot of lip products which I wanted to share with you. These products were brought during this summer holiday! 

Rimmel London: 

Kate Moss Nude Collection:
I've become slightly obsessed with nude lip products as I am trying to find the perfect shade for me and to start this nude collection, I purchased the new Kate Moss Nude Collection lipsticks in shade 43 and 45. The darker nude is shade 45. At first, I didn't like these and perhaps that was only because I wasn't use to see nude on lips and i did start to appreciate it more and now, either one of the two is a definite handbag essential. 

Rita Ora- Oh My Gloss: 
As I am starting university soon, I thought it was highly important to carry around lip gloss and ever since these glosses came out, I've been wanting to try them so I got a nude (no surprise) shade and a pink shade- just to mix it up a bit! The nude shade is 330- Snog and the pink shade is 110- Keep A Secret.

Bourjois:

This product came in one of my www.latestinbeauty.com boxes. I am slightly disappointed in the colour I got as I don't think it really suits my complexion however this is probably the only way i would actually experiment with a colour like this. 

This is called 04- Peach on the Beach which as you can see, it's a coral peach with a heavier pink undertone. 

Maybelline:

This is another product from a Latestinbeauty box and again this is a colour which I think does not suit my complexion however I think it's a great way to tone down a bright colour by putting it on top of that. This is 710- Sultry Sand. 

Revlon: 

This was a recent purchase from boots as they were having a sale for 2 for £10 on all lip products by Revlon! I decided to purchase a Matt colour burst that was  a very nice dark nude and I also purchased a red lipstick because honestly, who doesn't need one of those! The red is from the Revlon Ultra HD collection in the shade 875- HD Gladiolus.

This is from the ColourBurst collection in the shade 225- Sultry Sulfureuse. This is a matte balm and I absolutely love this- I want more!!

Lush

Lush Love

Over the years, I watched a lot of Lush hauls on YouTube and walked past a lot of Lush stores but I never went in to see the store nor the products. 

But I finally decided to go for it! I went in on 2nd September 2015, around 2pm with my little brother.

On entering the shop, we caught a whiff of different fragrances and to be honest it was overwhelming. We were then approached by a young sales assistant who asked if we needed help. I said 'yes' and expressed my dilemma in what I should buy. I also let her know that it was my first time in the store and my first time buying so I needed help in what to chose. I mentioned that I wanted to purchase something for my mum so she can relax. The assistant was very helpful and told me a lot about the different bath bombs and their scents. She also demonstrated how it works. 

I must have sniffed five different bath bombs and five different bubble bars before I decided what to chose. I decided to stay safe and chose one of each. 

Bath bomb: This was the one I chose for my mother. It's called 'Tisty Tosty' and smells like roses! It is heart shaped and has seven rose buds mixed in it.

It cost me £3.35 and for the price it is worth it- however I am unaware of how it looks in the bath... 

Bubble bar: I chose 'A French Kiss' which smells like lavender and Rosemary. It looks very appealing with a lavender steam stuck inside the pyramid shaped bar. The bar has been pigmented with purple and white and I assume that it will turn purple in the water. This is a crumble type of product so you get more use out of this therefore it cost £4.25. 

I thanked the assistant for helping me (wish I got her name but don't worry, I shall find out) and went to check out. The cashier asked if I would like a catalogue and I thought- what better way to see what I want! 

I think my first time there was a little magical- the scents I smelt has something to do with that and I can't wait to try more... I think a lush haul may be on my cards in the very near future... 

Thanks for reading and see you next time!

Collection Contour Kit & Speedy Highlight

Welcome back to my blog and today I am looking at Collections contour kit and speedy highlighter. 

The contour kits' retail price is £4.19 however you will be able to find deals in both Superdrug and Boots. So far, Superdrug is much cheaper only costing you £2.79 for the product whilst in boots it cost £3.99. But, you get more points from buying at boots, so which deal is better for you? As for the speedy highlighter, it retails at £3,99 and can be purchased at superdrug for only £2.66. 

The packaging of the contour kit is basic. It is black cased plastic that had two clear windows which showcase the highlighting colour and the contour colour with the brand name above it and the products name below it. For this sort of product, I don't particularly mind that it is very standard which is fine because for the price, this is well worth the money. The Charlotte Tilbury in comparison cost £49 which has a rose gold packaging and holds imprinted powder in them. The collection contour kit also holds a small rectangular shaped mirror inside the top part of the packaging. Some people might think that the mirror is too small to even be able to use and therefore might disregard it however, the knowledge of knowing that you have a mirror is more than enough just in case, you are out and about and you need to touch up on your makeup. Its's better to have a small mirror than no mirror at all, right? 

The speedy highlight is in stick form and has been packaged by the same shade of the highlight colour which I do like. It had a silver barrel at the bottom which you twist and I personally think that this highlight has a lot of product. Some people don't like stick form highlights however its just so much easier to use and carry. You can either apply it directly, use your finger or a brush, the choice is yours to make.

Swatches:
Based on first impressions alone, I am really impressed with the swatches of each colour, the contour kit has a very nice, soothing texture, which glides on easily and the highlight has a much thinner texture which allows the product to have a slight sheen to it. 

I personally am really impressed with these products based on price and swatches. I cannot wait to use these and share images with you. Be on the look out for them and check out my instagram for quick scoops of new products I try!
