Sleek pallet review: Oh so special




 


So I would like to introduce you to most beautiful pallet, perfect for the spring and summer! This is the 'oh so special pallet, now, cant lie, I was hesitant to buy this product just because, I wasnt sure on the pink colours because pink tends to make you look tired under your eyes (top tip) but I must say i have tried the scary looking pinks such as Pamper and Ribbon; this brings me on to my next point, i know the colours do look scary but the go on so nicely and non drematic. I also love how the colours are separated as such, in there sections, for example the first 6 colours are for a more day time look and more sutle however the second set of six are for a more drematic look, reserved at the front, party in the back.
Overall i love this pallet along with all other sleek products! Definitely recommend.
Superdrug price £7.99

2 in 1 Review: Sleek blusher and real techiques blush brush


As you can see there are two things in which i will be reviewing. As they are connected e.g a blush brush and a blusher, I thought i would kill two birds with one stone.
I will start off with saying well done and thank you Samantha Chapman for making the most perfect brush(es) ever. I cannot explain enough how soft the brushes are! There are only two real technique brushes in my collection which is kinda depressing because I personally want them all. Anyway, I would say they are the best brushes, that i have tryed, they are very easy to clean as the product does not get into the brush so you do not have to scrub them to get everything out. These brushes do not mault at all and are so smoothe on your skin, not spikey what so ever.
Retal price: £9.99 at boots http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Blush-Brush-1407_1252046/


The blush which I have been using and have purchased recently is a sleek blush in 933 'coral'. This blush, as the name suggests, is a pinky coral. From all the sleek products I have tryed I have really enjoyed so i have high expectations for it, however when it comes to pigmentation, it lackes. When you swatch it with a finger it is fine but when I came to use it with the brush it didn't come out very well although you can build it so in a way it is good. Overall it is a very nice colour and very natual.
Retal price: £4.49 on the sleek website and superdrug http://www.sleekmakeup.com/face/blusher/blush

Review: Rimmel london lasting finish nail varnish

I recently took a trip to superdrug, went over to the rimmel (my favourite makeup brand) and saw that everything was three for two. I took this opportunity to invest in some nail varnishes.
The ones that looked the nicest to me were 'block your green' 'disco ball' and 'sweet as sugar'
Since getting these nail varnishes I have tried out all three, I think my favourite is 'sweet as sugar' because it is such a spring colour. Having 'lasting finish' in the name it gives you a hint to whether they are long lasting or not, now I have tryed many nail varnishes that claim they are long lasting but they have not lived up to there name, however these are a different story. They stay on for a good three days and they are very pigmented. Overall these are very good nail varnishes for the price and they have an amazing colour range so i would definitely think about investing in some of these nail varinshes!#

Models Own: Fuzzy Peach





Believe it or not but this is my first ever models own nail polish...why? I hear you ask...well of a couple of months I have been collecting Barry m nail polishes but don't get me wrong I do love there varnish's but I thought it was time for a little change.
So today I was in boots and I needed a new nail varnish, went up to the Barry m stand but it had no colours that I liked but then I came across models own; in the past I thought that £5 was too expensive for a nail varnish cause I'm a bit of a cheap skate, anyway it thought to myself I might as well, nothing to lose so I brought it!
The one I picked up was Fuzzy Peach and as my favourite colour is orange I thought I'd start with that:D. I haven't used it yet so I cannot do a review on it but I will definitely be purchasing many more.
