Berry Merry Xmas with Sleek Makeup!

Sleek have recently launched this gorgeous box set which is great value for money at just £10 and right on trend with its bold berry shades.

The Berry Collection

The set includes:

Cranberry Lipstick which is a deep vampy matte red shade. 

Fenberry Blush which id describe as a berry plum.

Mossberry Kohl Pencil which is a deep Burgundy shade which can be used on both the eyes and lips.

Swatches from top to bottom: Eyes, Lips & Cheeks

Of course i had to try them out for myself. No Deep red lippy gets past me without a venture onto the lips

The lipstick is a stunning dark red and although its matte i didn't find it drying at all and its not one of those lipsticks that clings and emphasises every tiny line either which is a nice change. I do like matte lips but some are not particularly flattering but I'm pleased to say this one is.

For me the blusher is the stand out product of all three in this box. I am a big fan of the Sleek blushers anyway and this one is a gorgeous colour that seems to warm my complexion up without looking overly flushed or made up. You only need a tiny amount as you do with most of the Sleek blushers.

This would make a lovely stocking filler for a friend or a little pick me up treat for yourself when you are doing the Xmas shopping :)

Are you rocking the deep shades this time of year?

Sleek Makeup Nude Collection! What's the hype?

Sleek Makeup have come up with lots of different palettes but this next launch is looking to be the most popular yet.
The Nude Collection boasts the type of colours that will enhance everybody from porcelain beauties to bronzed babes.

I was very excited to be sent a preview of the new products:

 Nude Palette £6.49

This palette is quite different to anything else i have. For a start it has a lot of matte colours in it which i am really pleased about. Secondly the top row of shades have some really good basic neutrals and highlighters which are somewhat lacking in my collection.
Thirdly the bottom row has a few nice deep colours to create a more smokey eye as well so its a really versatile product.

Suede Blush £4.29

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the Sleek Makeup blushers and this one is no exception. The colour although a pretty taupe neutral is really pigmented even on my tanned skin. This is quite a matte shade as well and makes a nice everyday cheek colour that goes amazing well with the rest of the collection.

Bare Minimum Pout Polish £4.29

The pout polish smells amazing and feels beautiful and moisturising. The problem for me is that my lips are quite pigmented and the colour in this is very subtle. Therefore it looks pretty much like a clear gloss on my lips unless i put a bit of a neutral lipstick on underneath.

Of course i had to try all my new goodies out immediately and so tried two different looks.

The No Makeup Nude Look!

For the first look i used the matte subtle shades on my eyes Nubuck and Cappuccino, mascara a sweeping of the Suede blusher and the Bare minimum Pout Polish. 

2nd Look Soft Smokey Nude!

This second look is adapted by adding the shade mineral earth to the lid and smudged under eyes. I also added a tiny amount of Noir to the outer edges for a bit of definition. I went heavier on the cheeks and added a more neutral lippy under the Pout Paint.

The Nude Collection launches on the 31st August and be purchased from Superdrug or online at Sleek makeup.
I'd put money on it that these are going to be flying off the shelves. What do you think of the colours? Are you like me, a nude girl at heart?

Hey there sweet cheeks !

Hey there sweet cheeks is the best i could come up with for a title for a post on the new Sleek Mediterranean blusher. I have been quite excited about this release as i am a sucker for bright blushers and i am a big fan of the sleek ones.

I have to say i didn't bother with the rest of the collection but knew i had to get my hands on this little beauty:

Santorini blush £4.29 from superdrug

The blusher is a scary bold bright pink/purple in the pan and its really pigmented so i knew i would have to use this with my duo fiber brush. I love the fact that these blushers cost less than a fiver and last forever. Brilliant value for money and i am getting quite a nice little collection.

I didn't buy the pout polish but instead decided to dab my lips with the sleek powder pink polish that i had previously brought.

 I love how the bright blush gives a doll like flush to the cheeks and for me a bright lip takes the focus away from the cheeks so i feel much more comfortable keeping the lip colour fresh and pretty rather than bright.

I kept the eyes quite neutral with just lashings of mascara, eyebrows groomed and filled and a little eyeliner on the bottom lashes
. oh and very messy hair :)

I dabbed a tiny amount of the blusher on the lips first and smudged it in before applying the powder pink pout just to give it a bit more depth.

I wore my plain white vest top and comfy cut offs. By the way i don't know what the white mark is on my arm it wasn't there in real life. Somebody says it looks like an orb? I get them now and again when i take photos, any ideas?

I know some places have sold out already as the sleek limited products are getting so popular. So if you like the look of any of the products you might need to be fast. xx
